About this event
Hosted by Esau McCaulley
Rachael Denhollander is an attorney, author, advocate, and educator who is recognized as a leading voice on the topic of sexual abuse. She became known internationally in 2016 as the first woman to pursue criminal charges and speak publicly against USA Gymnastics’ team doctor Larry Nassar. As a result of her activism over 300 women came forward as survivors of Nassar’s abuse, eventually leading to his life imprisonment.
Rachael has engaged audiences with lectures on the campus of numerous universities across the nation. She has lectured at West Point and the Naval Academy, and been invited to keynote the National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s annual conference.
Rachael has extensive experience working with churches to help them understand how to lead with courage and integrity through crisis, how to communicate their values within their church and to the public, and how to properly respond to reports of abuse.
