RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-656-4673
On behalf of our client, Jane Doe, and everyone at Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman LLP, we want to thank the public for the overwhelming support shown since her lawsuit was filed in September. Messages of encouragement, concern, and solidarity have arrived from across the country and around the world. Each one matters.
Many of you have also shared your own experiences of sexual violence. We recognize the courage that takes, and we know that coverage of this case has been painful for many survivors and their loved ones. If you are struggling, please know that you are not alone and that support is available.
