An article with this issue is very rare as it is unlikely that males speak out on sexual assault which makes Terry Crews very brave and hopefully inspiring to anyone with the fear of speaking out. He is very honest in this telling of the story and even explains why he didn't speak out at the time, his reasoning is sadly related to his race with him saying he would go to jail and "240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho" would be the headline the next day. This is very sad and eye opening to read as he felt the assault would be turned on him just due to the reputation of his race. Free speech is a human right and due to our non modern, modern society in terms of race he didn't feel as though he had any freedom of speech. He states due to the recent allegations against Harvey Weinstein he wanted to speak out to “deter a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless” which makes him a remarkable human being and an asset to his industry as he is supporting and encourage others to do the same, male or female.
