It may feel that way, but you’re NOT powerless “I can’t prosecute. I can’t sue. I’m powerless.” We hear some version of this from a survivor nearly every day. It’s a horrible feeling: powerlessness.
It’s especially horrible if you’ve felt it before, when you were being abused.
But while most of us who have been sexually victimized may feel powerless, we really AREN’T powerless. We have the truth. And often, we have determination. That alone can sometimes prevail.
It did for one brave, eloquent and caring survivor. She has “outed” her perpetrator, a Mennonite pastor and former Conference leader named Vernon Leis.
