If I don’t want everyone to find out about what happened to me, can I still come forward?

You can come forward as a Jane or John Doe. Your name doesn’t have to be on the front page of the newspaper. You don’t have to tell everyone at Thanksgiving dinner. This is a personal choice for you and attorneys can help you navigate this by having you as anonymous. So even if you don’t want it to be out there in the paper or to your family, don’t let that stop you. There are still options for you.
