Part 55: Sexual Violence and Retaliation at USC - Accountability Journalism for Victims Rights
By Zachary Ellison
December 22, 2023
The summer afternoon was beautiful on campus at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, it was a perfect July day and we were having a special lunch just because quite often my work at USC was satisfying. There’s a misperception that I was a total malcontent, that day I was asked to tell a story of the mountains, and so a story I told, of hearing woodpeckers in the San Gabriel mountains deep in the Devil’s Canyon that were in fact Native American drums banging up above at Chilao.
Well investigative journalism can be a lot like hearing woodpeckers, but rest assured readers it’s not woodpeckers that I am hearing. Instead I am reporting an additional suspected case of Title IX Retaliation at USC, intentional abuse of the process in order to intimidate a witness in an ongoing sexual harassment investigation. Like woodpeckers in my head, I am sure that we will hear more such stories from USC, and most especially because I write about it hear which gives people a trusted voice that they can come to share their stories.

These stories are real, unfortunately this whole world is very secretive, and I protect my sources
