In this episode, you will hear the distressed 911 call of a 6-year old child calling for help as the little girl is witnessing domestic violence in her home. Neisha Himes experienced domestic violence. As an African American woman, she felt even less heard and able to stand up for herself. It’s been nine years since she was last assaulted in a domestic violence nightmare. Neisha said it was the most violent and vicious assault she’d ever endured. She escaped the abusive relationship and left the white man battering her. “Boxing has been very instrumental in my journey as a survivor” she shares. The journey started wanting to learn to defend myself. It wasn’t long after leaving that abusive relationship that Neisha knew, “I never want to feel like I can’t defend myself again.” Neisha founded the nonprofit, G.R.O.W. to help girls of color and the BIPOC community improve self-esteem their ability to be successful, and their destiny.

Palm Beach State Attorney Says Rep Matt Gaetz is in A Whole Lot of Trouble and There Are No Good Outcomes-Guest Dave Aronberg 49:59

In this episode, I’m talking to Palm Beach's State Attorney Dave Aronberg who says " Matt's in a whole lot of trouble. Child sex trafficking is punishable by up to life in prison," says Palm Beach Co. state attorney Dave Aronberg of the accusations facing GOP lawmaker Matt Gaetz. "Even if they can't make a case of child sex trafficking, if you've proven to have sex with an underage girl, that's a felony in Florida, punishable by up to 15 years in state prison." Dave Aronberg for what many are now calling in Florida, “The Pedophile Coast” because of Jeffrey Epstein and accused Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Donald Trump, among many others. As the State Attorney for Palm Beach County, Florida he has first-hand information about Congressman Matt Gaetz's alleged sex trafficking of underage girls and the sexual abuse criminal case. "Matt's in a whole lot of trouble. Child sex trafficking is punishable by up to life in prison," says Palm Beach Co. state attorney Dave Aronberg of the accusations facing GOP lawmaker Matt Gaetz. "Even if they can't make a case of child sex trafficking, if you're proven to have sex with an underage girl, that's a felony in Florida, punishable by up to 15 years in state prison." Dave says, “The most serious crime in Florida is child sex trafficking, punishable by up to life in prison." There’s a 10-year mandatory minimum. The more information that comes out, the fewer defenses Matt seems to have left. “For Gaetz, the problem is, it’s not just child sex trafficking,” Aronberg said. “If they can’t prove that and can only prove he had sex with an underage girl, well, that would be a violation of the state law against having sex with a minor. And that is a 15-year maximum sentence. And you have to register as a sex offender. Even if it’s solicitation of a sex act, that’s also a felony, plus registration as a sex offender. There are no good outcomes here, I think, for Matt Gaetz in the future.” Dave Aronberg is a frequent guest on MSNBC and CNN . He's also the State's top Palm Beach Prosecutor where Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking underage girls, soliciting prostitution before Dave Aronberg took office. But Dave is acutely aware of the devastation that Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators committed against underage girls. Before that, Dave served as a state Senator for Florida for 8 years. Dave is a tremendous leader in so many ways and is recognized as a formidable enemy to child sexual abusers, sex traffickers, rapists, and all predators, pedophiles, and perpetrators of sex crimes against women and children. Dave understands sexual trauma, resilience, and the healing process victims and survivors must endure, in order to overcome sexual victimizations. He shows compassion for rape victims, rape survivors, child sexual abuse traumatized victims and survivors, and believes in women supporting women, women empowering women. The law can bring justice to survivors, says Dave Aronberg.…

A true Handmaiden's Tale of Horror. She was trained and pressured by the Orthodox Jewish Community to be raped, forced into a violence marriage, and treated as a second-class citizen in every way possible. She wasn’t allowed to drive, go anywhere without being covered head-to-toe in a long-handmaiden outfit, and required to cover her hair with a itchy, hot, dreadful wig. Fraidy Reiss had never been alone with her Orthodox Jewish husband before she was married off to him. She says he turned abusive quickly, but when she tried to get a restraining order, Rabbi's came to her house and made her withdraw the restraining order and followed her to court to make sure it was filed. With no education or job, in an insular religious Orthodox Jewish Community where only men have the right to grant a divorce, she felt trapped. Fraidy shares her story of going from an Unorthodox handmaiden, to a successful educated professional. She graduated from Rutgers University at age 32 as valedictorian with Hillary Clinton in attendance.

When she finally did leave her last abuser, she fled in the middle of the night, with her 1 child and $150 in her pocket. We call her "Super SHEro". She used new technology, smarts, and pure grit, to develop an app for victims of domestic violence that collect and store legal, court-admissible evidence.

When Justice Turns a Blind Eye—The Last Rape Victim of The Golden State Killer 51:32

In this episode, I’m talking with rape victim, Rosebud Ireland, the last rape victim of The East Side Rapist before he turned into The Golden State Killer (raping and then killing his victims). Rosebud Ireland was only 22 years old when she was awakened suddenly at 3 AM feeling suffocated by a leather glove and a pillow over her head. The gloved man raped her and disappeared. For the next 39 years, Rose tried her best to go on with life, but she suffered from PTSD, and rape trauma, never knowing who her rapist was, or being able to hold him accountable. The day that Joseph DeAngelo, the Golden State Killer (HBO docuseries I'll Be Gone in the Dark) was captured, Rosebud knew it was him. The one that had raped her so many years ago. She then set out to find and seek justice. She was disbelieved, blamed, disrespected. The detective on her case asked, “what were you wearing at the time of the rape?” Rosebud Ireland describes her battle trying to get justice from the wealthy entitled, privileged, celebrity enclave of Santa Barbara County, CA to hold the killer accountable for raping her in 1979.

Child-on-Child Sexual Abuse: Willful Blindness: What Parents Need to Know 57:20

In this episode, I’m talking to child-on-child sexual abuse survivor, Adrianne Simeone, the founder of the non-profit, The Mama Bear Effect. She calls our unwillingness to confront this issue head-on as “ Willful Blindness.” “ Child sexual abuse is not necessarily an epidemic because abusers are so effective at perpetrating, but because the taboo, and consequent discomfort and fear, hold protective adults back from being aware, effectively empowering children, and responding appropriately.” Child on child sexual abuse as well as all child sexual abuse is one that parents, caregivers, and loved ones, just don’t want to deal with. And they don’t know how. Adrianne works tirelessly educating parents, caregivers, pediatricians on behalf of children to prevent child sexual abuse. The Mama Bear Effect is a nonprofit whose mission is to change the way people think, talk, and respond to child sexual abuse. Adrian calls child sexual abuse, “The Silent Pandemic.” About the issue of should I protect my children from the reality of child sexual abuse, Adrianne says, “ I am not going to shroud my children from this reality to somehow 'protect' them from the truth that the world isn't as safe and wonderful as we want it to be. I want them to know the truth so that when they have the power to do so, they can help make it better rather than turn a blind eye like so many do Listeners Please Note: Shari Karney, the host of Roar with Shari. . .

In this episode, I’m talking with Nicole-Earnest-Payte raped at gunpoint by a man who threatened to kill her. She knew at that point; she wasn’t getting out of this. Here is how Nicole told us her story. On June 22, 1991, 21-year-old Nicole Earnest-Payte was awakened on her couch by a man in a ski mask carrying a handgun about 8:30 at night after falling asleep on a couch in her home. He put his arm around her neck and throat to control her, while holding a gun at her head, held her hands behind her back as he forced her up from the couch, partially disrobed, all while continuing to hold a gun to head, telling her that he was only there to rob her and to stay quiet. Still masked, behind her with a gun still at her head, he then led her upstairs to her bedroom, put her face down on her bed, hog-tied her hands and feet together, duct-taped her eyes and mouth, and tied a pillowcase around her head. He then left her on the bed while he went downstairs to go through her personal belongings that he ultimately stole from her. He came back with a boom box. He turned it to a station that played love songs and told her these are our songs; these are our love songs. Nicole never saw her attacker’s face because he wore a ski mask and taped over her eyes. Then, he turned the radio on. Nicole said, “At that point, he had only been looking through my belongings and asking for money, But at some point, he turned me over on my back and I started shaking because I knew what was about to happen…. I was shaking and started to cry. He said, ‘Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be as bad as you think.’” Nicole knew at that point she was not getting out of this. While raping Nicole multiple times throughout the course of several hours, Nicole’s attacker threatened multiple times to kill her that night. I felt terrified for my life, couldn’t believe what was happening, Nicole said , “I tried to think of ways to get away. “I knew there was no way I could get out of this. I was absolutely terrified. I just wanted him to get out of my house, and I thought if I don’t fight him maybe he’ll leave.” The man told her he had been watching her for a week. After the first time he raped her, he began kissing her all over her body. He knew details of her personal life: how tall her ex-boyfriend was, where she worked, that she typically left her sliding glass door unlocked during the day while she was at work, generally locking it at night when she was in the house. At some point, he started to apologize while laying kind of next to her. He said, ‘I’m sorry for doing this. I’ve never done this before and I’ll never do it again, I promise.’” The attacker finally left her home at about 2:30 a.m., after taking her ATM card and PIN and tying her hands in front of her with duct tape. Then he gave her a butter knife to cut the tape and strict instructions. “He instructed her to wait for three songs on the radio and cut herself free. Don’t call the police or I will know, and I will come back and kill you before they come.’ Then, as he left, the attacker said something “mockingly, ‘You should lock your doors from now on. Someone might come in and try to hurt you. ’After the three songs had played, she cut herself loose, got dressed, and grabbed a clothes iron as a weapon because she feared he was still there. Even after finding no one inside the home, she was still too terrified to call the police. She called her mother in Tiburon. She said ‘Mom, I just was raped at gunpoint in my house by a masked man, I need you to get here,’” Her mom told her to hang up and call the police. Nicole, too terrified to call police, truly believed he had access to a scanner.” Within minutes her mother showed up with Rohnert Park police with her as she passed them making a traffic stop in Rohnert Park near Nicole’s home. After 27 years of believing he would never be caught and punished here's what happened.…

I’ve Been Left for Dead: A Sex Trafficked Child-The Audrey Morrissey Story 1:00:10

In this episode I’m talking with AUDREY MORRISSEY, a sex trafficked BIPOC child now adult survivor who says she was sold 10-20 times a day. “I’ve been beaten, tortured, and left for dead.” "I thought I was going to die in the combat zone of sex traffickers. Her traffickers would use words like “Young. Fresh." It’s not like the blockbuster movie, “Taken”, where a pair of unwitting girls travel to Paris, and make every parent cringe by giving men they just met their address, and confirmation that they’re traveling alone. They’re abducted, and Liam Neeson saves the day and his daughter. However, for the hundreds of thousands of children that are sex trafficked, there’s no one coming to save the day . “Taken” is not what sex trafficking looks like in America. In most cases, our stereotypical perception of a “prostitute” is, in reality, a commercially sex trafficked victim,” say Morrissey. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and our children are being sold on a large scale. The sex trafficking industry makes more profit from sex trafficking than any other illegal trafficking in drugs or weapons. Morrissey says “ People don't understand this is happening right here in the United States." Her fervent conviction is that no child should be bought or sold. “Image sex with someone you love, but you have to have sex with them 10-20 times per day." If you can’t have sex with someone you love 10-20 times a day, how can you want to have sex with strangers 10-20 a day?” "I never once in my life, when I was a kid, said 'When I grow up, I want to be a prostitute.'"

In this episode, I’m talking to Betsy Butler, a former California Assemblymember, who has been fighting for equity and justice throughout her career. Betsy talks about the fact that child marriage is still legal in 35 states including California! Today, with Roar as One, she takes on the fight to stop child marriage in California. Betsy, as CEO of the California Women's Law Center, has been working with California State legislators to stop child marriage in California. Most surprising and shocking, there is no minimum age to get married in California. This allows child rapists and predators to escape justice and accountability by simply marrying their child victims. Too often, we hear about "third-world" countries, selling young girls into sexual slavery through marriage to older men, for money, religion, tradition, or survival. But the truth is, the United States is just as bad for young girls and teens. Betsy has been a fighter for justice for women and girls throughout her career. Betsy reveals for the first time that she too has been a victim of sexual harassment throughout her powerful career.…
