Were You Denied Justice by Washoe County?
To Washoe County DA, Chris Hicks, sexual assault victims are merely broken dolls: first discarded and damaged by abusers, then emotionally manipulated by the justice system and himself.
When a predator confesses and the system still refuses to prosecute, the failure isn’t a mistake, t’s a pattern. For nearly a decade under District Attorney Chris Hicks, victims of sexual assault and violent crime have been silenced, discarded, or turned away using cruel and discriminatory excuses.

Did DA Chris Hicks "No-Charge" or Fail to Prosecute Your Attacker?
Prosecutors have a duty to seek justice, but too often in Washoe County, victims are told their cases are "unwinnable" for reasons that have nothing to do with the law. Did the Washoe County DA's office refuse to bring charges against your attacker because:
​
-
They weaponized your body size, weight, or physical attributes against you?
-
They used a disability or medical condition as an excuse to deny an exam?
-
They blamed what you wore, what you drank, or where you were?
-
They claimed a lack of DNA evidence, even when you had a confession or other proof?
If the justice system protected your attacker instead of you, share your story securely below. We are tracking the patterns to hold this administration accountable.
