We are writing this page for the person in Knoxville, or anywhere across East Tennessee, who has been sitting with a secret they were told they had to keep.

The Betrayal of Safety at 1812 Fraternity Park Drive You send your child to a university like the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, believing the organizations they join will offer brotherhood, mentorship, and a safe environment. When those organizations are centered around faith and Christian values, like Beta Upsilon Chi (BYX), that trust is even deeper. Finding out that a member of that very house was arrested on four counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor is a trauma that defies description. If your family is living through this nightmare in Knoxville or Sumner County, the first thing you need to know is that you are not alone. While the criminal justice system focuses on punishment for the accused, our team works to hold every institution that allowed this to happen accountable. When a “finance major” and intern uses his status to allegedly groom and exploit a minor, the failure isn’t just his—it belongs to the fraternity that supervised him and the university that provided the housing. We provide a parents guide to child injury lawsuits to help families move through the initial fog of these crises.

While the criminal justice system focuses on punishing the individual suspect, we know that for the families involved, the criminal charges are only one side of the story.
