You Go, Jane Doe

Please don't allow the kitchy rhyme of the title of this post to take away from the seriousness of the subject matter. If you haven't been following the horrific rape trial going on in Orange County, Jane Doe successfully won her criminal case, thank god. Below is a link to her statement. Read with caution, it tough to bear, but necessary in my opinion.

OC Rape Survivor's Statement

Per Flea, over at One Good Thing, Jane Doe's lawyer is collecting letters of support for her client, via this email address: ihiroe@yahoo.com, for her upcoming civil suit against the defense attorney and the family of the convicted rapists.

For what this poor woman has gone through, from the brutal rape through the most vicious of vicious court trials, she deserves some words of encouragement from anyone who appreciates the impact of what she's done and for what she is still doing. She is standing up for all women, enduring the ridicule and reliving the torture of her situation, and we should all be thankful for her strength. We hope this case has some impact on the future of victimized women everywhere.
