What Next: A Sex Crimes Lawyer's New Mission

New York’s new Adult Survivor’s Act has opened a “lookback
window”—a year-long suspension of the civil statute of
limitations—to allow people who may have been assaulted a long time
ago the chance to go to court and demand compensation. For those
who choose to pursue legal action, what can they expect? Guest:
Carrie Goldberg, victim rights lawyer specializing in sex crimes
and author of Nobody’s Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs,
and Trolls. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for
