One year later: Nassar victims work to honor the past, change the future
One year later: Nassar victims work to honor the past, change the futureTrinea Gonczar never saw it coming. More than a thousand messages poured into her social media and email accounts after she testified during the fourth day of the Ingham County sentencing hearing for serial pedophile Larry Nassar. Gonczar thought her message to Nassar about surviving his sexual abuse would reach some of her fellow gymnasts in the Lansing area. Instead, she heard from women all over the world, including one she will never forget: the woman who wrote from Sweden, saying she wouldn’t kill herself and would fight harder because Gonczar and the others who had testified were fighting hard, too. There were others who shaped Gonczar’s path, like the 15-year-old girl who attempted suicide twice after she testified against Nassar. Their stories led Gonczar to leave her job at a creative company and begin working for Wayne County SAFE (http://wcsafe.org/), which provides free counseling and advocacy for sexual assault victims, and processes rape kits. “Somebody has got to fight for these survivors,” Gonczar said. “My sister survivors and every other survivor is why I am never going to stop doing what I am doing.”
