Maude Gorman, who already held the crown of Miss Plymouth County, decided to turn in her crown. Gorman is a sexual assault survivor, having been raped by 3 men when she was only 13 years old. She took to Instagram to explain why she handed her crown in.

Gorman said, “I really felt betrayed. To mock a movement that has empowered survivors to stand up is inappropriate, and especially a women’s empowerment organization, should be unacceptable.”
Good work, Ms. Gorman.
