Overview

Following her first groundbreaking work, The Godfathers of Sex Abuse, Book I: Jeffrey Epstein, Professor Deana Pollard Sacks now takes on two other monstrous sex abusers: Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby. Sacks not only presents their dark stories of fraud, manipulation, and coercion, but she broadens the perspective to reveal the other types of abuse commonly aimed at women, simply because of their gender. But she doesn't stop there. Professor Sacks presents fresh ideas as remedies to sex abuse of all kinds, ideas that can be addressed both collectively and individually. This book is a must-read for any #MeToo survivor or follower, concerned citizen, or individual who is fed up with having one justice system for the rich and another for the rest of us.
