** From Victim to Suspect
------------------------------------------------------------

Nicole Chase was a young mom with a daughter to support when she took a job at a restaurant in Canton, Connecticut. She liked the work and was good at her job. But the place turned out to be more like a frat house than a quaint roadside sandwich spot. And the crude behavior kept escalating—until one day she says her boss went too far.

Chase turned to the local police for help, but what happened next further complicated her life. Her quest for justice triggered a legal battle that dragged on for years, eventually reaching the US Supreme Court.

“My whole life has been flipped upside down,” Chase told Reveal reporter Rachel de Leon.

For years, de Leon searched for and investigated cases across the country in which people reported sexual assaults to police, only to find themselves under suspicion. In this hour, we explore one case and hear how police interrogated an alleged perpetrator, an alleged victim, and each other.

De Leon’s investigation is also the subject of the documentary Victim/Suspect ([link removed]) , streaming on Netflix, which won the 2024 Emmy Award for outstanding documentary research.

Taylor Cadle was 12 years old when she disclosed to a trusted adult that her adoptive father had been sexually abusing her since she was 9. Law enforcement was quick to respond—and almost just as quick to suspect that Taylor had made up the allegations.

With our partner PBS NewsHour,reporter Rachel de Leon went to Polk County, Florida, to meet Taylor—and hear how she finally put her abuser in prison. ([link removed])

Donald Trump won the presidency following one of the most tumultuous election years in modern US history—and after a campaign often filled with violent rhetoric, misinformation, and disparaging comments about women, immigrants, and people of color.

Still, Vice President Kamala Harris was unable to build a coalition to defeat Trump.

“America has never had a Black woman governor,” says Mother Jones editorial director Jamilah King. “So the fact that America’s never had a Black woman president is not surprising. I don’t think we as a country were quite ready for it.”

In this Reveal podcast extra, host Al Letson sits down with King, as well as Mother Jones’ David Corn and Ari Berman, to break down how Trump won, why Harris’ campaign faltered, and where the nation goes from here.
