Hurt: Calif. Bill Banning Secret Settlements Will Force Sexual Harassment Cases into the Open

RUSH EXCERPT: 

HURT: "I am all in favor about far more openness in court and court settlements. But this seems really kind of insane because first of all, I don’t know that the courts can guarantee that they will keep victims’ identities secret. We saw what happened was Dianne Feinstein trying to keep a victim identity secret. But the real problem I think is what will end up happening, and I don’t know why sex crime advocates — victim advocates would be in favor of something like this — because all this does is, no aggressor is going to agree to these stipulations and so all it is going to do is force all these cases out into the open and my understanding is that that is not where most of the victims of these things want to argue these cases."
