An in-depth news series about the handling and mishandling of sexual assault cases in Austin and Central Texas. Travis County law enforcement responded to more than 600 adult sexual assault allegations in 2017, according to the Travis County District Attorney. That same year, only one person was found guilty by a jury. In the age of #MeToo, there’s a growing number of people in Austin – and across the country – who worry the criminal justice system is failing rape victims. KUT's Nadia Hamdan spent eight months speaking with more than a dozen people within the sphere of sexual assault to find out why it was so hard to prosecute these cases.
