At AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys, we stand with every survivor who has been harmed by someone who was supposed to love and protect them. You deserve safety. You deserve justice. And you deserve to be believed. đź’ś

AWK SAA is investigating potential claims on behalf of patients of Liberation Psychotherapy, an LGBTQ-centered therapy practice in Manhattan, after two of its therapists were criminally charged with s*xually abusing patients.

Joseph LoGiudice, founder and clinical director, was charged with r**e and multiple counts of s*xual abuse involving two patients. He is the second therapist at the practice to face charges in recent weeks, after Re*****on Yhap was indicted in September for allegedly ra**ng a teenage patient.

If you or someone you know was a patient at Liberation Psychotherapy and experienced abuse, our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand your options.

The national headlines about a college student at Cornell University who was repeatedly r**ed over the course of seven hours by seven fraternity members in 2024 is an egregious campus s*xual assault case that represents a failure of institutions to hold the perpetrators accountable. AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys stands with Jane Doe as she comes forward to seek justice.

She reported the assault in November 2024, but no charges were filed at the time. After she filed a civil lawsuit last month against the seven other students, the fraternity and Cornell University, the district attorney announced his office would bring a case before a grand jury with her cooperation.

Coming forward takes tremendous courage, especially under intense public scrutiny. Survivors deserve to be heard, taken seriously, and given a fair path to justice.

When are survivors ready to talk? The answer may surprise you.

AWK Attorney Chris Klotz breaks down a study from the National Institute of Health revealing when s*xual abuse survivors feel prepared to come forward—and why the timeline looks very different for male versus female survivors.

Understanding when and why survivors speak up is critical to how we support them, believe them, and fight for them. There is no timeline for healing—and there is no deadline on justice.

At AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys, we meet every survivor exactly where they are. Whenever you are ready, we are here.

On September 18, former youth basketball coach Dwayne Murray pleaded guilty to s*xually abusing a child under the age of 13 in the city of Mount Vernon, Westchester County, New York. Murray led the Mount Vernon Junior Knights and served as an assistant coach for the Mount Vernon High School boys' basketball team.

Survivors and their families may also have civil legal options, which can help bring answers about how the abuse was allowed to happen.

AWKO represents survivors of s*xual abuse nationwide, and all over the state of New York. With a Westchester office, we are particularly suited to help you. Our team takes a trauma-informed approach, creating a safe, confidential space where survivors can share their experiences at their own pace.

NBC News covered a class action brought by attorneys Hillary M. Nappi of AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys and the Marsh Law Firm against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. The lawsuit seeks damages for survivors whose childhood images were allegedly included in Epstein’s child s*xual abuse material collection.

"This lawsuit holds Jeffrey Epstein’s estate accountable for a crime that has never been fully addressed on its own terms,” said Hillary Nappi of AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys.

The complaint asks the federal court to order the estate to work with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on a court-supervised identification process. That process would notify survivors shown in the collection so they can pursue individual claims.

AWK SAA Partner Hillary Nappi published an op-ed in the New York Law Journal, arguing Congress must act on AI-generated CSAM after the Seventh Circuit's ruling in United States v. Anderegg.

The court ruled that the First Amendment barred prosecution of Steven Anderegg for privately possessing AI-generated child s*xual abuse images in his own home, with the judges saying they would benefit from "additional guidance" from the Supreme Court on how outdated precedent applies to generative AI.

Hillary argues Congress already has the fix in hand. The Senate passed the ENFORCE Act unanimously in December 2025 with endorsements from NCMEC, Thorn, RAINN, and the National District Attorneys Association, and it has sat in the House ever since.
"Ask your representative why the ENFORCE Act is still lying on a desk," Hillary wrote. "There is no answer anyone should want to say out loud."

AWK Survivor Advocate Attorney's Hillary Nappi and Kathleen Devlin have secured a major win for a Pennsylvania family. A judge ruled that Keystone Central School District can't claim governmental immunity to avoid a lawsuit over three employees who groomed a student.

The district argued the law only protected K.R. if one of the employees had actually completed a s*x crime against her, not just tried to solicit one. The judge disagreed, ruling that trying to pressure or manipulate a child into s*xual activity is enough on its own.

AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys stands with families fighting to hold schools accountable when they fail to protect the children in their care. If your child was harmed by a school employee, reach out to talk through your options.
