One of the most significant factors in bringing Larry Nassar to justice was the ability to introduce pattern evidence. This decision caters to rape myth culture and ignores what we know about the patterns and proclivities of abusers and predators. cnn.com/2024/04/25/us/…

Abuse occurs in context - context that is critical to know when seeking to understand specific instances of behavior. It is for this reason that many courts appropriately allow evidence of patterns and proclivities. This is not justice, and in fact inhibits justice.
