Campus Sexual Assaults and Teen Sexting

Kathryn interviews rape victim advocate Monika Korra, author of “Kill the Silence: A Survivor’s Life Reclaimed”. In 2009 college sophomore, track star and Olympic hopeful Korra was grabbed by three men and brutally raped. Korra shares the inspiring combination of mental and physical work that gave her the strength to win her greatest fight yet: the court case against the men who had attacked her. Korra is featured in the award-winning ESPN documentary “Breaking the Silence”. Kathryn also interviews Molly Gill, government affairs counsel for Families Against Mandatory Minimums. Two 16 year old high school students were charged with five counts of sexual exploitation — a felony – after exchanging sexually explicit pictures using cell phones. Gill discusses how sensible state and federal sentencing reform can help lessen taxpayer burden and increase resources to law enforcement and programs that reduce crime and recidivism. Gill appears on CNN, NPR, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Evening News
