Sacramento County District Attorneys, correct the injustice of detaining the 17-year old sexual assault victim to coerce her testimony. Respect her human rights and find another way to prosecute her attacker.
Why is this important?
A Sacramento DA has ordered that a 17 year old girl who reported a sexual assault be held in juvenile detention to ensure she testifies in court against her assailant. She is a ward of the state and her bail was set at $50,000. Imprisoning this young woman will not stop rapists but will, instead, deter other victims from coming forward.
