Callisto- Tracking And Stopping Repeat Sexual Offenders
Manage episode 485281025 series 3450378
Warning: Today's episode covers a variety of topics related to sexual harassment, assault, and rape.
Today, I sit down with Ms. Tracy DeTomasi, a licensed clinical social worker and CEO of Callisto, for a necessary conversation on sexual assault, prevention, and cultural accountability. With over 25 years of experience in gender-based violence work—including counseling adolescent sex offenders and running a domestic violence shelter—Ms. DeTomasi brings powerful insight into how abuse happens, why perpetrators reoffend, and what we can do to break the cycle.
We explore the importance of involving men in these conversations—not just as potential allies, but as individuals who are victims themselves. Ms. DeTomasi challenges the myth that consent education alone can stop assault, highlighting the deeper issue of power and control. We discuss the dangers of toxic masculinity, the cultural shame surrounding male vulnerability, and how men can actively prevent abuse by confronting harmful behaviors within their communities.
Finally, we cover Callisto’s revolutionary technology—a platform that enables college survivors to safely identify serial offenders without going public. We talk about the impact this tool is having across the nation, how survivors can anonymously match their perpetrator’s identity, and why education, donation, and awareness are crucial. Whether you’re a survivor, a supporter, or simply someone who wants to be part of the solution, this episode offers a clear path forward.
