Morgan Scafe joins me to recount her seven-year journey—beginning in high school—that started with abuse by her best friend's father and ended in his conviction for kidnapping and sexual abuse. Morgan was just eight years old when he assaulted her in the house on Carpenter Road in rural Michigan. After years of struggling with the trauma and its effects, a television program inspired her to speak out—slipping a note under the door of a high school teacher. By her twenties, he had been convicted of kidnapping and sexual abuse, and Morgan’s path toward healing had begun. We talk about grooming, silence, and the freedom that comes—not just from a trial, but from reclaiming your voice.
