How can victims and survivors find justice in a system that routinely fails to protect them?
In April 2025, a Long Island judge awarded over a billion-and-a-half dollars in damages to 107 women who testified in their civil suit that, as children and teenagers, they had been sexually molested by their former pediatrician, Stuart Copperman.
