John-Michael Lander, a former Olympic contender, was stalked by a college classmate.
During college, he was relentlessly followed around campus, receiving increasingly explicit notes from an obsessed stalker. One night, the situation escalated tragically as John-Michael was drugged, sexually assaulted, and left unconscious by his tormentor. In his compelling book, "An Athlete's Silence," John-Michael courageously shares the painful narrative of his experiences, detailing the trauma of sexual abuse and his survival through sex trafficking. Through his advocacy work, John-Michael seeks to empower others to speak out against abuse and contribute to the broader conversation about creating a safer environment in sports and beyond.
**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains topics including childhood abuse, sexual assault, sex trafficking, grooming, and attempted suicide. Listener discretion is advised.**
