Get Brandon Berwager arrested for rape

The Issue

In May 2019, a 14 year old girl was groomed and raped by 20 year old Brandon Berwager after he gave her a ride home. He also has a history of domestic violence and assault. In August of 2019, she went to the police to report her sexual assault. She underwent months of trauma therapy, as well as forensic interviews, but the District Attorney refused to press charges. She was left in the aftermath with severe PTSD, and began failing her school work and even left school for 3 months. He sexually assaulted her in his truck right next to where she used to play as a child which had become her safe space. It took her over a year to finally come back to that place. The District Attorney, Dave Sunday refused to go through with pressing charges because there wasn’t enough evidence. As victims of Sexual Assault, we are constantly being silenced. Less than 1% of all sexual assault cases are resolved through a jury trial. This number is unacceptable. We need to believe the victim, for once in history. Help bring her case to justice. We won't be silenced.
