NORTH CAROLINA -- Executive Director of the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault Monika Johnson-Hostler says it's important the "Surviving R. Kelly" docuseries comes during the time of the "Me Too" movement.

• She reminds that one in four girls are at risk of being sexually assaulted before the age of 18.
• Now the docuseries is airing the alleged stories of survivors accusing R. Kelly of abuse, predatory behavior, and pedophilia.
• North Carolina is the only state where you can't withdraw consent once you start sexual activity.

"Movement not moment. And so I think it's drawing people's attention in a way that I think if we saw this two years ago I don't think the outrage would've been the same. I think we would have more people who were blaming the victims than we do right now," said Johnson-Hostler.

She reminds that one in four girls are at risk of being sexually assaulted before the age of 18, regardless of race, but says oftentimes communities of color have trust issues with law enforcement and don't want to report the crime.

"One of the first articles I read was about, interestingly enough, black girls. And in the document it said 'black girls are known to be promiscuous and so they are often not at high risk of being sexually assaulted.' Like promiscuous and not at risk of being sexually assaulted. Like that's what I read at 20," Johnson-Hostler said.

Now the docuseries is airing the alleged stories of survivors accusing R. Kelly of abuse, predatory behavior, and pedophilia, including his ex-wife, backup singers and fans. R. Kelly denies all claims against him.

"I believe our culture still believes young women somehow are the only ones that are sexual beings and so somehow if you're a sexual being you can't be sexually assaulted. I still think that that's the psyche of the American culture. I think that's why girls aren't believed. I think that's why girls of color aren't believed and I think we have a long way to go but I do think the last 18 months has been, for me, the most exciting and best part of my career because people are saying to me 'I believe people'," she continued.

The NCCASA focuses on advocacy and legislation. One law they're trying to change, which is unique to North Carolina, pertains to consent. We are the only state where you can't withdraw consent once you start sexual activity.
