Survivors Say It’s Far Too Hard To Report A Sexual Assault

After being sexually assaulted by a man who was later arrested for alleged gropings in downtown Chicago, one survivor said it was very difficult to get law enforcement to take her story seriously. Reset talks with Block Club Chicago reporter Melody Mercado and Mallory Littlejohn, legal director at the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, about what happened and what needs to change. A national hotline is available for people looking for support or resources related to sexual assault. The number is 1-800-656-4673.
