Instead of confronting harm, the media and public often scrutinize and blame victims of celebrity and public-figure abuse.

At our National Training Institute this September, join us for our first keynote panel, "Under the Spotlight: Victims, Fame, and the Fight for Justice." We'll learn from Jamie Dantzscher and Kim Goldman, who both have experienced what it is like to be a victim in the "spotlight." Attorneys Kristen Feden, John Clune, and John Manly -- who have all won significant cases for victims of s*xual abuse by celebrities, professional athletes, and other public figures -- will also discuss the cultural climate surrounding high-profile cases and the abuse of power.

My op-ed is now live in the Detroit Free Press.

Michigan has been here before. After Larry Nassar, lawmakers recognized that survivors of childhood s*xual abuse often need decades before they are able to come forward — and they changed the law to give survivors a path to justice.

Now, in the wake of the devastating findings at Interlochen Center for the Arts, Michigan has an opportunity — and an obligation — to act again.

This one is personal to me. I grew up in Michigan. I spent time on the Interlochen campus as a child. And I know firsthand what it means when institutions fail to protect children — and when the law fails survivors years later.

Interlochen survivors deserve their day in court. Michigan lawmakers can give it to them.

The Shame is Not Yours to Hold

“When you think of a predator…

Normally it’s not what you’re thinking…

It’s the people you most trust with your children that will use that authority and opportunity to take advantage of it.

And that’s what happened in my case.” – Dominique A.

Courtney Thom brings a rare and formidable edge to civil litigation: more than a decade as a s*x crimes prosecutor in Orange County, where she conducted over 50 criminal trials.

That frontline experience gave her an intimate understanding of predator psychology and institutional complicity, wisdom she now channels into civil litigation on behalf of s*xual abuse survivors, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice.

Manly, Stewart & Finaldi has recovered over $3 billion on behalf of s*xual abuse survivors while driving major policy reforms across institutions nationwide.

Warning: Contains graphic information. Ex New Hampshire day care employee Jan Carlos Berrios Olenda, 29, was arrested on April 1st for SA of a 4 year old boy, and is set to go to trial on April 28th — but experts suspect there may be more victims. Lawyers Sarah Klein and Eric W. Schoenberg have spoken with more than 50 families whose children have had contact with Berrios Otero over the six years he was employed at the BrightPath Avon Early Learning and Child Care Center, and Schoenberg says “I have strong belief that there are one or more individuals in authority positions at that facility that knew that this was going on beforehand and failed to act.”

If you or anyone you know has information on Berrios Olenda, call Manly, Stewart & Finaldi at (949) 787-3181.

John Manly sits down with Catherine Herridge, Emmy winning journalist, about new data surrounding the prevalence of s*xual a*sault in public schools, suggesting that it is much higher than we originally thought. “The author of two studies commissioned by the Department of Justice…[Charol Shakeshaft] believes now that the number of children that suffer s*xual misconduct by teachers, school administrators and other personnel is about 17%.”
