Real victims of domestic violence and sexual assault deserve to be heard and amplified and cannot be as long as people like Owens take the space that should be reserved for true victims, not abusers. In case you had any doubt of the veracity of Owens’ claims, consider this email to a judge below, in violation of the rule of ex parte communication, wildly accusing Gillespie's lawyer, now also Echard's lawyer, of drugging and sexually assaulting her.

She even accused Echard's lawyer of drugging, violently assaulting and raping her.

But remember, bringing up past accusations isn't allowed, even though that's the entire point behind the fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
