Summary

Lise Lotte-Lublin didn’t recall being sexually assaulted until 20 years after the fact while watching an interview with a famous model whose story seemed familiar. When she went to authorities only to learn nothing could be done, she decided to take the law into her own hands. She went on to change three sex crimes laws in her home state of Nevada, including the statute of limitations. She helped fellow survivors in other states do the same. And then, she testified before the man that she says attacked her all those years ago: Bill Cosby.

This episode is part of a ten-part series called Let The Women Do The Work. Join host Gillian Pensavalle as she follows the stories of ten dynamic, inspiring, badass women in true crime.

0:00.0	So those three laws ended up getting changed and we kind of reset ourselves back to getting into,
0:07.5	you know, changing more laws and seeing what we can do to make a difference because
0:14.0	somebody's got to be the spokesperson. Somebody's got to get out there and kind of get the ball
0:20.0	rolling. I guess you could say so. Yeah. I guess that's us. And I'd say more than that. You're getting
0:26.3	the ball rolling and then like throwing it through the door and kicking the door open. Yeah.
0:32.7	Yeah. Busted through. Hell yeah. Let me throw my supergap.
0:44.0	Hi, Jillian here. And this has left the women do the work. The podcast where we look at true crime
0:48.9	from the perspectives of the women involved. Now, a harsh reality in some of these stories we
0:53.6	recover is that women are disproportionately victims of several kinds of violence, most notably
0:58.8	sexual assault. The World Health Organization said just last year that one and three women
1:04.0	experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes. This number is disproportionately
1:09.1	high for women of color and in lower income nations, that number is closer to one and two.
1:14.8	And instead of just acknowledging this for what it is, the true crime media world often
1:19.1	dangles it around his bait. Look at these terrible things that have happened. Imagine them happening
1:24.0	to you. That would really be the end of things, right? Look, the victim trope is real,
1:28.6	turning stories of survival into cautionary tales. But survivors of sexual violence don't simply
1:33.7	disappear into devastating circumstances. They're you. They're me. They're people with lives before
1:40.2	and after their trauma. So on this episode, we'll explore the expansive journey of one such woman,
1:46.0	how she took her experience and changed the better part of a country for it.
1:49.9	My name is Lisa Loughlin, born and raised in Las Vegas, been here ever since. I'm an educator.
1:57.5	I've worked through all kinds of systems to get my degree and become a teacher and now I'm a
2:03.0	nationally board certified teacher. I got a few more years to go and then I'll be in retirement.
