Like many teenagers, Megan got drunk at a house party when she was 17. When a friend offered to help sober her up in a bedroom, he instead coerced and sexually assaulted her.
After opening up about it, Megan and her parents agreed to blame the incident on her drunkenness and the topic stayed dormant for years – until #MeToo erupted.
In this episode, we unpack Megan’s reckoning with her assault, how she's overcome its impact on her life and how her parents took part in an awakening.
