P Stands for Predator

In Episode 5 we hear a little bit about a traumatic sexual assault I survived at age 17 at the hands of my best friends 27 year old boyfriend. Listen to how I decided 5 years after the assault I was ready to report the man to the police, and how the age of consent laws kept me confused and silent as a teenager.

TRIGGER WARNING- Explicit details involving rape and sexual violence, mention of drinking and driving, underage drug use, and other topics that may be triggering for some listeners. Keep this episode away from small ears.

For legal purposes I will be censoring the legal names of the predator throughout the episode, if you live or have lived in Oregon specifically in the Gresham, Portland, Beaverton areas. I will gladly send you his legal name. Please reach out on TikTok @jadas.advocacy
