*Content warning: domestic abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, and non-consensual pornography.As shared in Part One of [WCN Presents] SWW S14 Updates, Season 14 of Something Was Wrong began airing on October 20th, 2022 and the last episode aired on January 3rd, 2023. The season highlighted the narratives of Kaylan, Melissa, and Sara and their very toxic, abusive relationships with a man named Jake, as well as the abuse their children faced. As the season progressed, it included several accounts from other victims and acquaintances of Jake as well. Jake continued to leverage his professional connections in the media to add validity to his dating presence and in turn, victimized over forty women. On December 13th, 2022, the guests of Season 14 also participated in a SWW Live event on which they discussed the impact of the season & answered some listeners’ questions. One week later, a petition was created to call for Jake to face legal accountability. And despite the fact that less than a year passing since its release, quite a lot has happened. The Broken Cycle Media team is so grateful for Kaylan, Melissa, and Sara’s involvement, as well as the rest of the guests' of season 14, and the impact their sharing has made. We are also grateful to host this conversation with Kaylan and Melissa about all that’s come next since Season 14 aired.Season 14 of SWWhttps://somethingwaswrong.com/14-2/Change.org Hold Jake Accountablehttps://www.change.org/p/seattle-police-department-hold-jake-gravbrot-accountableThe Stranger on Jake Gravbrothttps://www.thestranger.com/cops/2023/01/06/78802686/after-months-spd-finally-responds-to-allegations-of-serial-sexual-assault'Your Pocket Therapist' Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/your_pocket_therapist/For additional resources and support, please visit:http://somethingwaswrong.com/resources
