Restorative Justice After Sexual Violence

In a recent “Relationships Matter” interview, Jane Mulcahy and Marlee Liss discuss Marlee’s journey to becoming the first person in North America to access court-mandated Restorative Justice for sexual violence after her 2016 assault.

They explore the challenges victims face in the criminal legal system, Marlee’s decision to pursue Restorative Justice, and the healing process that followed. The conversation covers the benefits of Restorative Justice, the importance of authenticity in the process, and the potential of this approach as an option for other victims of sexual violence.
