SM: If you could go back, would you have reported it?
Lindsay: Yeah, if I was in the clear mindset that I’m in now. If I was still in the mindset I was at that point, no, I probably wouldn’t have reported again.

SM: What mindset?
Lindsay: I remember thinking I would encounter a lot of judgments. I went to the biggest church in my town. I remember thinking about being judged, being scrutinized for being in that position.

SM: You’re not the first sexual assault victim who not only blames herself but also fears that others will judge you—the focus is too often on the victim, not on the predator. What do you think that says about our society?
Lindsay: You hear so much about the woman’s role in the sexual assault and you never hear about the guy. I think when people react – she shouldn’t have been wearing that, if she would have been studying and not drinking, if she would have done a, b and c then... All that does is fuel the myths that surround rape. It doesn’t matter what happens, you don’t deserve it period.
