Generation Cult

Another Legal Chat with Carol!


Listen Later

We've brought back a fan favorite from Season 3 for an update on litigation cult survivors can bring against their abusers, and this time we're also tackling the dreaded topic of defamation.

Carol Merchasin, an attorney with the firm McAllister Olivarius, has had some success bringing lawsuits on behalf of people who were sexually abused in Buddhist, yoga and cult-like groups. Her focus has expanded to other types of organizations and litigation, so we're ready for an update.

Do you want to speak out but have concerns about a defamation suit being brought against you? You aren't alone. Let's talk about ways to protect yourself and the options available to those who are faced with this threat.

Join us for another legal chat with Carol!

*Includes discussion of sexual assault

Music by Lee Dunn, opening/closing song by The Chaw
