12/08/2021
Professor Jennifer Drobac was a guest on KCBS radio in San Francisco to discuss two recent high-profile trials that center on emotional manipulation of victims. The interview took place November 30.
In the interview, Professor Drobac discusses how prosecutors establish grooming as a form of abuse. Experts are permitted to testify about this form of behavior during criminal trials.
Professor Drobac is a widely known expert in sexual harassment law. She is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law at IU McKinney and has given more than 100 interviews to media members worldwide in connection to the #MeToo movement. She is an author of the textbook, Sexual Harassment Law: History, Cases and Practice, recently published by Carolina Academic Press. She co-authored the book with Professor Carrie N. Baker of Smith College and Professor Rigel C. Oliveri of the University of Missouri School of Law. Professor Drobac is at work on her next book, The Myth of Consent, which is under contract with Cambridge University Press. That work will explore the neuroscience of adult decision making and how the science should influence law reform, particularly the law of consent.
