[Content Note: Sexual violence; murder.]
Last week, I wrote about Ched Evans, the professional soccer player who was convicted two years ago of raping a 19-year-old woman and will be allowed to return to playing.
Jessica Luther has written a great piece about Evans, and others like him, and how such lenient treatment of violent athletes writes their victims out of their rehabilitation narrative. I urge you to go read the whole thing: "Left Out of the Narrative."
