Justice and Advocacy: Neil Jaffee's Fight for Sexual Abuse Survivors

Often, for a variety of reasons, victims of child sex abuse don't report the abuse to legal authorities until much later when they become adults, and often by that time the statute of limitations has run and the courtroom doors are locked.
How do you fight for justice when the system seems stacked against you? In this compelling episode of 'Journey On', host D.J. Burr sits down with Neil Jaffee, a filmmaker and lawyer dedicated to advocating for sexual abuse survivors. Neil's two powerful documentaries, 'Off the Record' and 'Pursuit of Truth', shine a light on the hurdles survivors face when seeking legal justice.
The conversation dives deep into the complexities of the judicial system, offering practical advice on navigating legal obstacles and finding the right resources for support. Neil shares his experiences representing clients and discusses the ongoing battle against restrictive statutes of limitations that often hinder survivors from seeking justice. This episode also touches on the impact of the #MeToo movement and its role in raising awareness about these issues.
If you're looking for an insightful discussion that blends real-life stories with actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen.
