Our Founding Partner, Douglas H. Wigdor has been highly involved in recent sexual abuse civil cases where the plaintiffs filed the complaint anonymously as Jane/John Doe. Today, he weighs in with the New York Times in the debate between protecting victims’ privacy and the impact of anonymity on a fair trial. “One can imagine someone who is coming forward with a claim of sexual assault who has children and relatives who don’t even know about it. The potential psychological damage and stigma associated with that leads some — but not all — of our clients to want to proceed as a Jane or John Doe.” https://nyti.ms/3CfxypH
