years. dr. sarai crain pope, bay area women against rape. i was a little shocked, this has been a long time coming. so much rhetoric around case, the allegations in particular who he is, this is america's dad. dr. sarai crain pope is the executive director for bay area women against rape. she spoke candidly about the case against cosby. dr. sarai. there has been alot of contention about the case, because he is african american, alot of backlash. i think what is unfortunate is that there was some metoo blacklash. we believe that metoo is a beautiful, and it has allowed people to speak up about powerful men. dr. crain pope believes this case involving cosby may bring about big change both nationally and locally. dr. sarai. once person exposed on a national level like harvey weintein, then locally more powerful people could come down and women who did not feel strong enough to come forward, may feel like that can now. and she adds this message. dr. crain pope. we know there are abusers out there, and they should be fearful. in oakland, terisa estacio, kron four news
