Joyce on Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is a bi-partisan crime in desperate need of a bi-partisan solution. It can happen to anyone… rich and famous or indigent, Republican or Democrat, vulnerable or sophisticated, male or female, young or old! It happened to me.

In fact, I survived three distinct types of sexual assault – all three covered by Model Penal Code – by force, by duress and by deception. My struggle to recover lead me to research what actually constitutes rape and sexual assault across the US and in various places around the world.

I’ve learned a great deal about what motivates people to be kind or cruel. Through many years of effort, I finally figured out what I needed to know in order to heal myself from sexual assault’s defilement. I determined to pass that knowledge along for others who were victimized. And I launched my efforts to conquer sexual assault by fighting for desperately needed laws on “consent,” the critical key that’s missing throughout our nation.
