The Case of Heaven Awot

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Ethiopia to discuss the horrific case of Heaven Awot, a 7-year-old girl that was sexually assaulted so severely that her spine was visible from outside of her body. In addition, we discuss TikTok's war on Heaven, her mother, and anyone who wanted justice for this little girl - as well as the disgusting "crimes of opportunity" committed against women and girls at times of war.
