Domestic violence experts fearful of Depp v Heard impact
Michelle Sacks, the director of training at the Houston Area Women’s Center, has told the Guardian that she hopes the outcome of the Depp v Heard trial doesn’t discourage sufferers of domestic violence from coming forward.
“Just because the jury decided that way, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen,” Sacks said. “I think that’s really important to kind of get across – just to believe anyone that may disclose something to you. And if you know that someone is struggling, just let them know that they didn’t deserve it, that it’s not their fault, and that there are services available.”
