I am a criminalized victim of domestic violence and rape. I reported the predator who abused me last November, but instead of pursuing charges against the perpetrator, I have been made into the suspect in my own report. Exculpatory evidence was withheld in order to charge me with this crime, yet still the case has not been dismissed. Every step of the way, people in positions of authority have chosen to avoid me, lie to me, or say they can't get involved. I have plenty of direct, actionable evidence of not only the abuse and rape I was subjected to, but the continued failures of every agency I have contacted who are in positions to protect victims like me. What do you plan to do to address these allegations of misconduct among the local police departments and courts? I have even reached out to state level officials who will not step up. My constitutional rights have been repeatedly violated, after I myself was violated physically, emotionally, and sexually by a dangerous predator. The community is at risk as long as he is free, and tax dollars are being wasted in order to punish me for doing what was right and reporting a dangerous man. He has a long history of this type of abuse, yet through his connection to police, he avoids any legal accountability. I am not the only victim of this misconduct - how will it be addressed? We deserve to feel protected by people in positions of authority, not further abused and humiliated by them. A full INDEPENDENT audit of all local police departments (and the non profits police interact with, as Crisis Services of Nevada is continuing to employ the sexual assault advocate who is quoted repeatedly agreeing with false statements in my police report, which I can prove easily) should uncover the issues so action can be taken to correct this disturbing behavior. The board of directors of CSSNV is not concerned. Who will step up for victims? This state has a huge problem with domestic violence and I'm finding no one in this state wants to stand up and say this is wrong. I work with evidence in my career - my case did not follow protocol or federal laws. Who will finally intervene and push for an independent audit? There must be someone benefitting from this disturbing behavior.
