About our guest:
Jody Plauché, from Baton Rouge, La., made national headlines in March 1984 when he was abducted by his karate teacher and taken 2,000 miles away from home to Los Angeles, CA. FBI officials rescued Jody, and his abductor was arrested. Upon his karate teacher’s return, Jody’s father, Gary, shot and killed him. The shooting was captured by WBRZ news crew, a local ABC affiliate.
Jody obtained his bachelor’s degree in General Studies from Louisiana State University with minors in Psychology, Speech Communications, and Philosophy.
Jody has worked in the field of violence prevention since 1995. While attending Louisiana State University, he served on the executive board for Men Against Violence, a campus organization aimed at preventing campus violence, including sexual assault and other physical violence.
For seven years, Jody worked at the Victim Services Center of Montgomery County, a comprehensive crime victim center in Norristown, PA. At Victim Services, Jody worked as a sexual assault counselor as well as a prevention educator and eventually became the Supervisor of Community Education Programs. Jody provided crisis intervention to sexual assault victims on the agency’s 24-hour crisis hotline, as well as in-person support at hospitals and police stations. He facilitated sexual violence risk reduction programs for students ranging from pre-K through college age. Jody also presented numerous professional training sessions for police officers, hospital staff, parents, and school administrators.
