During the 1970s, I was a teenager sexually violated and exploited by adults at the prestigious, private Key School in Annapolis. Do young people understand sexual abuse as abuse when it happens?

Until recently, we had no legal recourse to hold Key School accountable for its complicit violation, compounding our sexual abuse and institutional betrayal with judicial betrayal. I believe the antidote to institutional betrayal is institutional courage.
