Angela Rose

Angela Rose's innovative work on the issue of sexual violence has made her a highly-respected, engaging speaker and expert on sexual assault and violence prevention. She is also widely recognized as an advocate for survivor empowerment. At the age of 17, Angela was abducted at knifepoint outside a suburban Chicago shopping mall. She was assaulted by a repeat sex-offender on parole for murder. After suffering at the hands of her abductor she then suffered at the hands of authorities who – instead of helping her – subjected her to scrutiny, blame, and additional victimization. The anguish of her abduction was immediately magnified by anger and a strong sense of injustice at her treatment by authorities. Angela turned her anger into a positive force for change and worked with her attacker’s previous victims and other concerned community members to help enact Illinois’ Sexually Dangerous Persons Commitment Act in 1998.

In 2002 Angela founded the non-profit organization, Promoting Awareness | Victim Empowerment (PAVE), to create education and action surrounding the issues of sexual violence. Today PAVE has chapters in multiple states, trains fraternities and sororities on sexual assault prevention and convened the National Campus Sexual Assault Summit held at Georgetown Law that broadcasted live to over 300 colleges. Angela’s work on college campuses led to an invitation to the White House for the launch of the “It’s On Us” campaign and was asked to serve on the White House Taskforce to Protect Students from Sexual Assault chaired by Vice President Biden.

Angela’s passion of ending sexual violence through prevention education and empowerment has led to several projects and public speaking engagements including the  documentary “Transition to Survivor”,  founder of Men Opposing Sexual Assault, training for professional law enforcement groups, the American Psychological Association and several branches of the United States military. Angela presents annually at the International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma and personally works with rape survivors from Uganda, and was invited by the former First Lady of France Cecilia Attias to participate in the Women’s Global Dialogue for Action.

Angela’s efforts have been profiled by the Oprah Winfrey Network, Bio Channel, The Today Show, TIME Magazine, CosmoGirl, Girl’s Life magazine, and CNN Headline News profiled her on their “Breakthrough Women” series. Rose authored the book Hope, Healing and Happiness: Going Inward to Transform Your Life. She has been awarded accolades for her work including “Forward Under 40” by her alma mater University of Wisconsin-Madison, “The Inspiration Award” from Today’s Chicago Woman magazine, and the “Promise Award” from the YWCA.

Delaney Henderson

Delaney Henderson’s story made headlines when she was sexually assaulted by two boys with whom she went to high school with. After repeated attacks in school and on social media, Delaney decided to share her experience with the world as she came forward with her story at 17 years old. Delaney was repeatedly bullied and re-traumatized following her sexual assault and was named publicly in a rap song that was published which also threatened her life. Being an unprecedented case and the first of its kind, this rap song made its way to the California Supreme Court of Appeals which overturned the previous judge’s decision to throw out the case claiming freedom of speech, and they also agreed to have this case published because of the importance behind it.

As a GET BIT Investigations Team member and an ambassador of PAVE, Delaney’s story has been featured on a 48 Hours Special Edition Episode on CBS as well as the Television Show, Crime Watch Daily on Broadcast syndication. She was invited to the Sundance International Film Festival to speak on behalf of sexual assault victims across the nation in a documentary on Netflix called Audrie & Daisy, in which her story is also featured in. Delaney graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and aims to spark a change in culture by sharing her powerful story with many young adults, parents and survivors.

Dr. Coby Webb

Dr. Coby Webb was a highly respected Captain for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Coroner and noticed a powerful need for the wellness of her employees. She needed a positive tool to help them throughout the day especially dealing with death and other traumatic incidents. With Coby's background with K9’s and her education focusing on lowering officer’s stressors, she began to implement a phenomenal program and train a therapy dog for the Coroner's Bureau. The program grew where Riverside County Sheriff’s has two full time therapy dogs assigned to their dispatch centers (east and west); however, they can go anywhere needed. Her concept continued to grow where Coby worked with non-profits for service dogs that failed, but would be great therapy dogs. Coby’s dogs are living 24/7 at Santa Ana PD, Chino PD, Ontario PD and Banning PD.

Our goal here at GET BIT Investigations (thru donations and contributions) is to place (C.C.P.T.D.) Coby Certified PAVE Therapy dogs in every station across this nation (at ZERO cost to the 1st responders departments) ....stay tuned for more on that one.

These highly trained “Special” dogs would not only be available 24/7 for 1st responders who have just returned to their stations from a traumatic event, but to anyone who may visit the stations and be in need of the powerful calming effect these beautiful therapeutic dogs can provide……children, victims of sexual assault would truly benefit… among so many others.

Coby is also the Founder of Find’em Scent Safe which is a significant tool to help families be proactive to collect and store their loved one’s scent to help K-9 search teams with an uncontaminated scent article if a loved one is ever missing or lost. www.findemscentsafe.com. Much more to come on this also!

Please help us welcome Dr. Coby Webb!
