On March 10, 2017, Jessee Baldwin filed a police report, just four days before her 40th birthday, which was the cutoff for reporting in California.

Starting at just 12 years old, she was groomed and abused by her 7th grade teacher at North Valley Baptist Church & Schools in Redding, CA (now known as Crosspointe Community Church). This abuse continued throughout high school.

Despite substantial evidence – including a pretext phone call – the District Attorney declined to press charges against Jessee's perpetrator.

This disappointing decision lead her to file a lawsuit against the school/church in 2022 under California's AB218 law, which provided a three-year window for victims to seek justice.

With her lawsuit now won, Jessee shares her story publicly, motivated by a desire to heal and help others who might unfortunately relate to aspects of her own story.
