The Salt Lake Tribune has partnered with ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative newsroom, to investigate sexual assault in Utah, and we’d like to hear from survivors and others with knowledge about this topic to help guide our coverage.
We’re reporting on sexual assault by health care professionals, an issue we highlighted in our story about a Provo OB-GYN who was sued by nearly 100 women who said he sexually assaulted them during treatments. You can fill out our confidential form below to tell us about other practitioners and health care institutions you think we should report on.
Salt Lake Tribune reporter Jessica Miller has written multiple stories about sexual assault, including at Brigham Young University, and ProPublica has worked with survivors across the country to tell their stories. We hope our continued coverage of this issue will lead to further impact.
