Opinion | Alison Turkos: 'Victims of sexual assault are always told to come forward and that the police will be our greatest advocates. It just doesn't always work out that way.' - NBCNewsTHINK

Jeffrey Epstein's deal with federal prosecutors wasn't normal. The men who arranged it need to face the music.

It should never be the victims' responsibility to have to fight to be believed and supported within a system designed for victims of sexual violence, and certainly not one that the NYPD touts as “victim-centric.” Our job is not to ask law enforcement to do their job; our job is to heal. I want to live in a world where a victim comes forward and they are not berated. But I also want to live in a world where we do far better by victims than that.
