   Marissa Hoechstetter & Evelyn Yang Sexually ASA NY Rape Laws

   In this episode, I’m talking with Marissa Hoechstetter who was licked on her vagina by her OB-GYN, while pregnant with twins during an ordinary exam that was anything but ordinary. What should have been an exciting and joyous experience being pregnant with twins, turned into a horrifying nightmare as Marissa says she was sexually assaulted by her OB-GYN, Dr. Hadden. Marissa quickly learned of other victims (over 200) who were also sexually assaulted at the hands of Dr. Hadden, inc...

   Revealing Dark Secrets in The Creepy Chambers of the Catholic Church--Greg Gianforcaro Roar with Shari

   I’m talking to Attorney Greg Gianforcaro who is a fierce fighter against the Catholic Church and the priests that sexually abused Greg's childhood friends.  Greg goes against the Catholic Church who Karney calls, "perpetrators by proxy". Attorney and former altar boy as a child, Gianforcaro decided to represent many of his friends after they came forward as adults with allegations of sexual abuse by a priest at the St. James Parish in Mendham. It turned out to be not just a few cases, but dozens of his friends alleging abuse by Father James Hanley during his 10 years as a priest from 1973 to 1982. Hanley was never charged because the criminal statute of limitations had expired in all of the cases. “Priests do not become pedophiles, pedophiles become priests. In their role as priests for centuries, they had unfettered access to children,” says Gianforcaro. Listen to Greg and Shari Karney talk legal shop and dig into the details on the law for adult survivors of child sexual abuse and pedophilia within a religious context and the Catholic Church.  Shari Karney is a victims’ rights attorney who represents victims of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape, and sexual harassment. Currently, Karney and the nonprofit, Roar As One™ are working on educating Congress on the need to eliminate all statutes of limitations for survivors of child sexual abuse. There should be no time limits for justice for survivors of child sexual abuse.  Children so preyed on, exploited, and cruelly harmed should have human and civil rights.  Those who use power under a religious cloak should not be able to use their power to sexually abuse young helpless children. Karney believes that every victim deserves to have their voice heard. Through empowering victims of child sexual abuse, we stop the vicious generational cycle.

   Allen v. Farrow HBO "The Lie"

   In this bonus episode, we discuss that while Mia Farrow tries to shield 7-year-old Dylan from the trauma of repeated questioning about sexual abuse, Allen’s legal and PR team drives a narrative that Mia is a scorned woman and unfit mother who brainwashed her children. What ensues is a harrowing custody battle where Allen tries to get sole custody over Dylan, Moses, and Ronan Farrow. You get to experience the legal system, its bias towards women and children. People say the system is "broken." We say the system was designed this way to have power and control over women and children. Every mother's nightmare. A custody fight, where she goes to war to save her children, and the alleged perpetrator goes to the nuclear option to win. Win at all costs, no matter the damage.
