In 2019, the Washington Post writer Amy Brittain wrote about Lauren Clark, who in 2013 had been sexually assaulted in a D.C. park by a man named Jayro Cruz. After a judge, Truman A. Morrison III, gave Cruz a lenient sentence, Clark kept tabs on her attacker, who received unsupervised probation in 2017. Many of the investigation’s details are best left for the audience to discover. However, Brittain’s findings result in a multiyear journey that connects the case to an Alabama woman, Carole Griffin, who has a bombshell revelation. The show exposes how lives are irrevocably changed by sex crimes: Friends are lost, families are thrown into disarray, and mental health is strained to a breaking point. Although rapists don’t fit a specific profile, victims tend to have much in common. Canary shows that when due process fails, the bond between survivors can be the starting point for justice.
