I will never forget reading the IndyStar article about my own story and seeing USAG respond that Larry had been reported over a year ago. The confusion, anger, betrayal, especially from law enforcement, was so heavy...

The three women whose abuse had been reported never should have been left alone, treated as if they did not matter. Had the FBI done their job I never would have been put in the position of having to relinquish every shred of privacy to stop the abuse and coverup.
The dozens of little girls abused after the FBI knew who Larry was and exactly what he was doing, could have and should have been saved. They deserve answers.
That law enforcement can more readily be relied upon to not investigate well, than to treat survivors with dignity and pursue justice, is a harsh reality that most survivors face. It destroys the survivors who report, and the ones who come after who could have been protected.
For six years we have waited for answers. Six years.
We might get them today. But I also know that sovereign immunity doctrines will almost certainly ensure that answers do not come with justice or accountability.

And our pleas for the IN AG to investigate the coverup in the IMPD, and how Steve Penny knew he could rely on the head of the child sex abuse division to help try to kill the IndyStar story, remains unanswered. As if it does not matter.
Six years later, we're still here.
