Veronika’s Voice, Our Fight: Hold Rapists Accountable

For two long years, Veronika and her family have endured a relentless and costly legal fight to restore her voice and clear her name after she was wronged by the very system meant to protect her.

Veronika bravely came forward to report her sexual assault in the military, but instead of finding justice, she was wrongfully arrested and charged with filing a false report and wiretapping by the Fort Indiantown Gap Police. Her courage was met with disbelief and accusations, turning her from a victim into a suspect. What was already a deeply traumatic experience became an even greater nightmare, one that her family has struggled to navigate emotionally and financially.

Over these two years, Veronika's family has endured immense stress, pouring thousands of dollars into fighting these baseless charges. Legal counsel, expert witnesses, and travel expenses have piled up, leaving her loved ones burdened with overwhelming debt. The financial strain has only added to the emotional toll this flawed investigation has taken on them all.

The police dismissed her rape claim simply because it wasn't reported the same night it happened, ignoring clear evidence—including audio recordings—where she says no, and prove the encounter was non-consensual. While the military held the perpetrator accountable by discharging him, local civilian authorities in Annville, Pennsylvania, failed her, compounding her trauma with a flawed and biased investigation.

Veronika's case reflects a chilling reality: too often, survivors are disbelieved, dismissed, or even punished for speaking up. The costs of justice shouldn't bankrupt a family already in pain.
