Nobody's Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs, and Trolls

Nobody's Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs, and Trolls

Nobody's VictimÂ is an unflinching look at a hidden world most people donâ€™t know existsâ€”one of stalking, blackmail, and sexual violence, online and offâ€”and the incredible story of how one lawyer, determined to fight back, turned her own hell into a revolution. Â Â

â€œWe are all a moment away from having our life overtaken by somebody hell-bent on our destruction.â€Â That grim realityâ€”gleanedÂ from personal experience and twenty years of trauma workâ€”isÂ a fundamental principle of Carrie Goldbergâ€™s cutting-edge victimsâ€™ rights law firm. Â Â

Riveting and an essential timely conversation-starter,Â Nobody's VictimÂ invitesÂ readers to join Carrie onÂ the front lines of the war against sexual violence and privacy violations as she fights for revenge porn and sextortion laws, uncovers major Title IX violations, and sues the hell out of tech companies, schools, and powerful sexual predators. Her battlegroundÂ is the courtroom;Â herÂ crusade is to transform clients from victims into warriors.

In gripping detail, Carrie shares the diabolical ways her clients are attackedÂ and how she, through her unique combination of advocacy, badass relentlessness, risk-taking, and client-empowerment, pursues justice for them all. There areÂ stories about a woman whose ex-boyfriendÂ made fakeÂ bomb threats in her name and caused a national panic; a fifteen-year-old girl who wasÂ sexually assaulted on school grounds and then suspended when she reported the attack; and aÂ man whose ex-boyfriend used a dating app to send more than 1,200 men to ex's home and work for sex. With breathtaking honesty, Carrie also shares her own shattering story about why she began her work and the uphill battle of building a business.

While her clients are a diverse groupâ€”fromÂ every gender, sexual orientation, age, class, race, religion, occupation, and backgroundâ€”the offenders are not. They are highly predictable. In this book, Carrie offers a taxonomy of the four types of offenders she encountersÂ most often at her firm: assholes, psychos, pervs, and trolls. â€œIf we recognize the patterns of these perpetrators,â€ she explains, â€œwe know how toÂ fight back.â€Â Â

Deeply personal yet achingly universal,Â Nobody's VictimÂ is a bold and much-needed analysis of victim protection in the era of the Internet. This book is an urgent warning of a coming crisis, a predictor of imminent danger, and a weapon to take back control and protect ourselvesâ€”both online and off.
