Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau & Luke Malone here! We wrote ONE IN FIVE, a book on child sexual abuse prevention - Ask Us Anything today, August 20 at 9am PT / 12pm ET!

We're Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau, a leading child sexual abuse prevention researcher and founder of MOORE at Johns Hopkins, and Luke Malone, an Emmy-nominated journalist and producer. Our new book, One in Five, argues CSA is preventable—and shows how. On Thursday, August 20th, 12pm ET, Ask Us Anything on r/IAmA! We came to this work from different sides of the same problem, united with the same goal: preventing child sexual abuse (CSA). What began as an interview between source and journalist grew into a decade+ collaboration, and eventually into a book (just released this week!) One in Five: Why Child Sexual Abuse Is Our Biggest Public Health Crisis—and What We Can Do to Stop It is our attempt to pull this subject out of the shadows and point it toward solutions that actually work. The title says it plainly: roughly one in five children experiences sexual abuse, most often at the hands of someone they know, and (more often than people expect) at the hands of other kids. In the book, we argue that shame and silence are the biggest obstacles to prevention, that compassion and accountability have to coexist, and that we already know enough to prevent harm from occurring in the first place - that is, before it ever happens. Our hope is that readers come away with hope and a clear sense of what's possible.
