DMV Spotlight on 6-8-25 shines a light on Domestic Violence as the images  of Sean Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway plays on repeat during Combs trial. Executive Director of My Sister’s Place in DC, Mercedes Lemp, says she has not noticed any uptick in cases, but says  the non profit that assists survivors of Domestic Abuse always has more cases than they can help.

Lemp does say My Sister’s Place provides a safe haven, short and long term housing, counseling, financial assistance and connection with legal and court services as needed. Lemp explains the cycle of abuse as well as the financial manipulation that can trap women –and sometimes men—in domestic abuse situations.
