Last week, Taylor Swift appeared in the headlines after going on trial in civil court. Taylor Swift recently sued former radio DJ, David Muller, for groping her backstage before a performance in 2013. Muller filed a countersuit against Swift for defamation after he claims her accusations caused him to be fired from his position at the radio station.

While there was very little evidence to support either Swift or Muller's accusation, the main source of evidence used in the trial was this photo obtained by TMZ. In this photo, Swift claims that Muller raised his hand underneath her skirt to touch her inappropriately while the photo was being taken. Muller denies the accusation and claims that he placed his hand exterior to her clothing on her lower back to pose for the picture.

After a highly intense and emotional trial, the jury ultimately decided in favor of Swift. Muller had to pay Swift a hefty $1, to symbolize that Swift was not after Muller for his money but fighting for the bigger picture of justice being served for victims of sexual assault.

And while Taylor Swift is no martyr for every victim of sexual assault and violence, the trial does show that literally, anyone can become of victim of sexual assault. Studies show that 1 in 3 women will experience sexual assault or rape in their lifetime.

These statistics include all women and do not make exceptions for wealth or celebrity status. If one of the biggest pop culture icons of this day can fall victim to sexual assault, then it can definitely happen to the average person. What are we going to do to change this?
