Help eliminate the shame and stigma of male sexual abuse.
·Major institutions—schools, religious institutions, sports programs, etc.— unwittingly, provide opportunities for predators, and even indirectly promote sexual predation within their own ranks, all under the gaze of bystanders.
·This webinar will explore the covert ways that males are victimized and offer possibilities for limiting or eliminating such avenues for predation by focusing on the role of bystanders.

Professor Guiora is the recipient of the University of Utah’s Distinguished Faculty Service award. He has authored two books based upon his research on the phenomenon of bystanders. His most recent article, Holding Enablers of Child Sexual Abuse Accountable: The Case of Jeremy Bell, addresses the role of enablers in the sexual assault of children.
