The next step in exposing sexual violence is to clarify the attribution of responsibility

It's not the first time since the 90 's Laughley outbreak of a sex scandal, but why is this one sparking a criticism? Why do you cause a lot of echoes in the community? Why would anyone want to come forward together?

Since 2017, when the #MeToo effect of the burning has spread in the community, the victims have gradually tried to export their own pain, no longer alone with nightmares, crying through the night, and no longer let the blood from the wound constantly emerging, but not to find a way to stop the bleeding. Also let sexual violence get more attention than ever before, artists began to respond, the media began to report, the masses began to care.

Back in the Laughley incident, in the face of huge pressure and charges, Laughley as usual "refused to accept." According to US media TMZ, Laughley may have been hit by the economy because of the streaming platform's music, but Laughley more attention to his image than the economic shock.

Before Lifetime broadcast the full "surviving R. Kelly" Six film, Laughley had commissioned a lawyer to send a request to Lifetime to stop the broadcast letter. But Lifetime ignored it and finished broadcasting the entire documentary as usual, and Laughley is now putting pressure on lawyers to Lifetime comply with the law.

In previous TMZ reports, it was also pointed out that Laughley was prepared to sue everyone associated with the documentary, saying that more than half of the women who were victims of the documentary had not been in contact, probably because they had been offended at work, or if there was a private quarrel that allowed the women to complain in a narrow and vengeful state.

Who is the one who complains about revenge? Although now have to be left to judicial verification, but through the Laughley incident let us see that victims of sexual assault as long as they can stand up bravely, say the pain in their hearts, can let the pain have the opportunity to have clashed the flat.
