TW: Sexualized violence In August, two survivors TW: Sexualized violence In August, two survivors — Sophie Brindle and Jenna North — shared sexual assault allegations against Peter Mirmotahari on Instagram. They received an overwhelming amount of support, and other survivors started following suit. But soon after, some posts were removed and an anonymous page dedicated to sharing their stories, Call Out Victoria, was abruptly deleted.
