Paroline v. United States: A case for restitution

“I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the amazing work you’ve done for me. When I was trying to get help, I spoke to a handful of lawyers, including many at law firms that are supposed to be good for survivors and the responses I got included: “You should have gone to the police,” “If you couldn’t identify your attacker, Title IX doesn’t apply,” and “You need to get over it.” (I’m not kidding.) You both were the first to treat me with dignity and respect.”
