Welcome back, lovely listeners!
For this episode, Alex is taking us to Scotland. Lindsay was a sweet, bright and outgoing 16 year old on September 7, 2001. All that changed when she was attacked by a 14 year old named Lee Don Bell.
When the trial started, Lindsay made the decision to testify in court. The experience was a traumatizing nightmare for her as she was forced to show the court the underwear she’d been wearing and had to answer questions from her attacker.
This case highlights the need to treat victims and survivors of SA with dignity, empathy, and respect. Lindsay was let down and was made to feel like she deserved what happened to her. Luckily, there are people still fighting to protect victims and survivors, and trying to make sure what happened to Lindsay doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Thank you for listening, and we’ll be back July 19th.
