Men Can Be Sexually Assaulted, Too

 

 This must be crazy.

Who are they?

Why are the violence take place ?

 

 Nearly 25% of males will experience contact sexual violence in their lifetime. But, only a quarter of those assaults were reported to police in a 2018 study. CJ Krainock takes us through a vivid path of his own sexual assault story, and sheds light on why men and boys may feel uncomfortable speaking out about their experiences. CJ hopes to change the stigma around male sexual assault victims, as well as encourage victims to share their stories and foster change within themselves, their families, and their communities. CJ Krainock is a victim of sexual assault and an advocate for male sexual assault victims. He is passionate about ending male sexual assault stigmas and helping victims receive the help that they need to recover properly. CJ is now the CEO of Incline Marketing, a loving husband and father, and baseball coach at Madison High School in Rexburg, ID. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
