After a loophole in Indiana’s rape law let a confessed rapist walk free, one Indiana woman pushed for a change that will affect the lives of future sexual abuse victims for years to come.
The victim, Jenny Wendt Ewing, shared her difficult story with NewsCenter16 in the hopes of educating future Hoosier victims about the laws in their home state.
Ewing’s story goes back to April of 2005 when she was a nursing student at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis.
The then 26-year-old Ewing went on two dates with a man named Bart Bareither who was formerly her physiology lab professor.
The couple saw live music on the first date and toured a winery on the second.
