Because of their courage, Hinds is now being held responsible for his reprehensible sexual misconduct.
We handle these cases with the utmost seriousness and sensitivity, and we encourage anyone who has experienced abuse—whether recent or in the past—or suspects someone they know is being harmed, to speak out and seek assistance.”
