Lawrence Lessig

This morning while reading through my usual feeds, I was taken aback by a post on Robert Scoble’s blog. He talks about finding a link to an article on New York Metro about the American Boychoir School and a lawsuit being brought by someone who was a victim of molestation while attending the school. In it, we also learn that famed law professor Lawrence Lessig is not only helping the plaintiff, but he openly discusses the fact that he, too, was molested while attending the school. It’s a very long article, but it’s also very powerful and worth the read.

I want to personally thank both Mr. Hardwicke and Mr. Lessig for speaking up and showing other victims of sexual abuse that we are not alone. I wish them both the best of luck with the case!
