‘The Bachelorette’ alum Katie Thurston says ‘the justice system failed me’ after she was sexually assaulted
Former star of The Bachelorette Katie Thurston has revealed that she lost a legal case against her alleged rapist in a heartbreaking statement.
“The justice system continues to let down victims every day,” Thurston wrote. “I refuse to feel defeated in the strength it took to be an advocate for myself. I hope my experience will help those feel the strength and support they need.” “I felt like a small lost child who was vulnerable and scared,” she shared. “They thoroughly explained the process, asking for consent along the way, and allowing me to decline or change my mind at any time.”
Despite going through all the necessary protocols that come with reporting and doing everything she “should have done as a victim of rape,” Thurston became another survivor of sexual assault who has been let down by the justice system.
