le came forward -- totally unsolicited -- with information concerning Esai Morales' prior rapes and sexual assaults. So far, 2 of these women have provided sworn declarations, detailing instances of violent rapes and sexual assaults against them by Esai Morales. These women came forward despite fears for their safety, fears based on the fact that Esai Morales had previously stalked and threatened them -- as he did to me. I have an obligation to these brave women to honor their courage and fearlessness in coming forward. It is for these prior victims -- who have recently come forward and are finally getting a chance to raise their voices -- that I am speaking out today.

Second, I feel like I have an obligation to Esai Morales' prior victims who have not yet come forward. I understand how these women feel. I was in their shoes: Esai Morales had abused, raped, and threatened me too. I too feared for my life based on his threats. But I have found strength in the other brave women victimized by Esai Morales who have come forward and signed declarations detailing his prior sexual abuse. I feel empowered to carry on and fight the good fight. Because these brave women empowered me, I want to share this sense of empowerment with other women who are currently out there who are perhaps lonely, perhaps scared, but who all share the common trauma of having been sexually abused by Esai Morales. It is for these women -- who have not yet had a chance to raise their voices -- that I am speaking out today.

Third, I feel like I have an obligation to all of the innocent women out there who may one day be victimized by Esai Morales. Hopefully, by coming forward together with Esai Morales' prior victims, we can prevent him from raping any more innocent women. It is for these women -- who have not yet and hopefully never do suffer at the hands of Esai Morales -- that I am speaking out today.

Finally, I feel like I have an obligation to myself. As a result of Esai Mora
