One in Five: The Child Sexual Abuse Conversation the Epstein Scandal Never Started
Description
Jeffrey Epstein's crimes were crimes against children. That is not how the country talked about them. Elizabeth J. Letourneau, PhD, who leads the Johns Hopkins Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, and journalist Luke Malone join Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to discuss their book ‘One in Five: Why Child Sexual Abuse Is Our Biggest Public Health Crisis and What We Can Do to Stop It.’ On the coverage, Letourneau does not hedge: "I am outraged." The two unpack why "up to 70 percent of child sexual abuse is at the hands of other kids," why predator language fails and why this crisis is preventable, not inevitable.
