Time Magazine also featured her story in a segment that was ranked number one as the most viewed; most shared, and most read articles of that week. As much as she feels that the interviews and media coverage have helped spread the word regarding the legal battle, she finds that her public speaking has gained wonderful allies, friends, supporters, and pioneers in the movement. Her first speech on rape took place in the basement of her sorority house. Subsequently she has spoken at law schools, universities, and fundraisers. In August 2008 she married Sgt Kyle Flynn who is based out of Indianapolis for Military Intelligence. They live there with their dog, Reagan.
