In this powerful, honest roundtable, survivor Miss Houston USA Mary Bentley shares her story alongside licensed therapist Monica Villarreal, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare, and HAWC’s Leticia Manzano. Together, they tackle some of the toughest questions surrounding sexual assault—consent, victim-blaming, trauma, prosecution challenges, and what healing really looks like. Moderated by KHOU 11’s Ugochi Iloka, this conversation is part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and aims to shift the narrative around survivors, justice, and community support. Whether you’re a survivor, an ally, a parent, or simply someone who wants to learn and do better—this is for you. If you or someone you know needs help, HAWC is available 24/7 at 713-528-2121 or visit www.hawc.org. Join the conversation. Listen, learn, and help create change.
