  • Rahel Bayar: Warning signs of child sexual abuse

    Rahel Bayar: Warning signs of child sexual abuse
    2026/01/12
    Rahel Bayar, a former sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor from the Bronx District Attorney’s Office, has spent years handling some of the most severe cases involving crimes against children. Today, she works on the prevention side, advising schools, camps, religious institutions, sports organizations, and nonprofits on how to create environments that reduce the risk of abuse and harassment.

    Bayar, who now runs the New York-based Bayar Group consultancy, said two types of cases stayed with her most from her time as a prosecutor. The first involved children whose futures she still wonders about, after their cases ended in court. The second involved cases that could not be prosecuted at all, often because young victims were too traumatized to testify or lacked corroborating evidence.

    Music journalist Eve Barlow was once at the center of the global entertainment industry, writing for outlets like the Guardian, the LA Times, and serving as deputy editor at NME. After becoming a vocal Jewish woman and an advocate for Israel, those same spaces began to close their doors.

The conversation explores cancel culture, media silence, the aftermath of October 7, and the broader implications for free speech, journalism, and Western society. Barlow also discusses why facts matter more than feelings, how propaganda spreads, and why she remains optimistic despite the backlash. An unfiltered discussion about belonging, betrayal, and what it means to speak when silence is safer.
