I’ve spent the last two weeks in Sacramento, CA attending a Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) training sponsored by the California Clinical Forensic Medicine Training Center. Forensic basically means the application of medical or scientific knowledge to legal issues. I like the definition that one of the doctors gave: “The application of science for social

Boys Cannot Be Baht
The title is from a sticker produced by Urban Light to draw attention to the fact that men and boys are exploited in the flesh trade. Those of you who read this regularly know that Relentless works for the freedom everyone in bondage: women and girls, men and boys. Recently, I attended a one-day workshop
