3. Do you understand the harm to me as Lauren's representative & to women who won't report to police because they can share private evidence w/o consequences?

Miguel Deras was Lauren's contact at campus police. She had 18 calls with him alone. On the day of her murder, she called him 3x about a text impersonating an officer to lure her out of her dorm. He didn't share that info with anyone. He was never disciplined for failing Lauren.
Officer Miguel Deras wasn’t fired for mishandling reports from student-athlete Lauren McCluskey weeks before she was killed on campus last fall.
Months later, however, Deras made the same mistakes again on another woman’s case.
