Jane Doe No More Program Helps Survivor Break the Silence
After enduring years of abuse that began when she was just seven years old, a brave Connecticut teen found the courage to speak out—thanks to a Jane Doe No More school assembly. This powerful moment of recognition led to justice, healing, and hope. The sentencing of her abuser is not just a courtroom outcome; it's a testament to the impact of prevention education.
Ramirez-Sanchez
The victim watched as Ramirez-Sanchez, 74, plead guilty to risk of injury of to a child, a felony, and illegal sexual contact. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, suspended after three years. Following his release, he will have to register on the sex offender registry for 10 years.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

TAKE IT DOWN ACT
Signed into Law
The TAKE IT DOWN Act was signed into law on May 19, 2025 Monday banning the nonconsensual online publication of sexually explicit images and videos that are both authentic and computer-generated.
The Take It Down Act makes publishing such content illegal, subjecting violators to mandatory restitution and criminal penalties such as prison, fines or both. The bill also establishes criminal penalties for people who make threats to publish the intimate visual depictions, some of which are created using artificial intelligence.
The measure requires websites, through enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission, to remove such imagery after they receive requests from victims within 48 hours and to make efforts to take down copies, as well.
