This content contains mentions of sexual assault, bullying/online harassment and suicide.From the Baylor University sexual assault case to President Obamas Its On Us?initiative to end sexual assault on college campuses, the topic is often recognized as a collegiate issue. However, Audrie & Daisy, a new documentary from the filmmaker team of Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk (The Island President, The Rape of Europa), shines a spotlight on the experiences of teenagers coming of age in a time of social media and bullying.We tackle a lot of really hard material in our documentaries, Cohen said via phone. Ive been commiserating about how this film has been the hardest one to make. Its so deeply personal, and tough to watch.Audrie & Daisy -- which premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival -- tells the stories of Audrie Pott and Daisy Coleman, two teenagers from different communities in different states who were each sexually assaulted, then became fodder for gossip and bullying within their school communities. The torment was so intense that the then-15-year-old Pott, who lived in Saratoga, California, committed suicide eight days after her assault.Coleman, now 19, endured her own struggles as she fought for justice. People within her community did not believe her allegations. She was ostracized at school, and her familys house was burned down.The common thread for Coleman and Pott was that the current climate of teen usage of social media compounded the trauma of their assaults.Its a lawless society, Cohen said of the experiences of teens online. Kids are using social media and not really interacting with their parents about how theyre using it.Coleman had intended to put that January 2012 night behind her. Her family moved out of Maryville, Missouri, and back to Albany, Missouri, where they lived prior to the death of Colemans father in a car accident in 2009. She had closed that chapter in her life.After my case had gone viral, I didnt want to do a whole lot of speaking, and when Bonni and Jon came forward to me with the idea for the documentary, I was still a little partial [to not wanting to speak], Coleman said by phone.It was learning about Pott and other pending cases that inspired her to reopen this part of her life and share her story.I decided to speak out on their behalf, Coleman said.High school culture is heavily influenced by sports, especially in Maryville. At one point in the documentary, Daisys brother laments his own isolation as something hed never experienced before, explicitly because he did play football and baseball.Sports can have an excellent influence or they can have a really negative influence, depending on the vibe of the team and the vibe of the coach, Shenk said. We think sports have a giant role to play in the solution to this.Charlie Coleman, Daisys brother, started coaching high school baseball after his sisters experience. The documentary shows him teaching his students the importance of respecting?women above all. An avid supporter of the cause, he threw out the first pitch at a San Francisco Giants game for the teams Strike Out Violence Day.It isnt until the end of the documentary, however, that it is revealed that Daisy Coleman is an athlete herself.Coleman started wrestling when she was eight years old. Her achievements earned her an athletic scholarship to Missouri Valley College. The sport has been a big part of her life, but following her assault that relationship became complicated.Through elementary, middle and high school, they didnt have a womens division for wrestling, so I was wrestling all boys, Coleman said. After my assault, it was kind of hard for me to get back into it, but it also helped me develop stronger relationships with men.Coleman didnt start wrestling again until her family returned to Albany. The coaches wouldnt allow me to wrestle in Maryville, she said. By the time she hit the mats again, it had been a year since she endured the sexual assault -- she ended up feeling largely comforted and supported.[My teammates] were like brothers and friends to me, she said.Moving forward, Coleman hopes to become a tattoo artist. Shes always enjoyed art, but she thought being a painter or a graphic artist was a little bit too boring for her.Its really empowering to know that people trust you that much [enough to give them a tattoo], she said.Coleman continues to work for justice for young survivors. She volunteers with the organization Promoting Awareness for Victim Empowerment (PAVE), which empowers students, parents and civic leaders to end sexual violence with prevention education and promoting respect of oneself and each other. Through PAVE, she speaks with students and educating others on sexual violence.Its good to know that Im actually helping other people who went through something similar to me, Coleman said.Audrie & Daisy premieres on Netflix on Sept. 23.

HOUSTON -- Texans defensive end J.J. Watt reinjured his back and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.The Texans signed veteran defensive end Antonio Smith to fill Watts open roster spot. Smith played for the Texans from 2009 to 2013, registering 27 of his 47 career sacks with the team. He played for the?Denver Broncos?in 2015.It is unclear if Watt will be a candidate to return later this season. He would be eligible to return to practice after six weeks on IR and to game action after eight weeks, meaning he could be back Nov. 27 against the San Diego Chargers. However, a team source told ESPNs Ed Werder that I do believe that he will miss the season, but with the new rule this year, if he were to be ready in December, he could come off IR. Long shot.The source said that the Texans felt Watt was never right after offseason surgery.Watt missed all of training camp and the preseason after he had surgery for a herniated disk in his back in late July. The three-time defensive player of the year and four-time Pro Bowler played part of last season through the injury, before aggravating it late in the offseason. He also had surgery in January to repair five torn core muscles.The 27-year-old has not been as explosive since returning to the field, although he did have 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs.Watt started all three of the Texans regular-seasonn games so far, including Thursdays blowout loss to the New England Patriots in which he had two tackles and no sacks.ddddddddddddWatt missed practice Monday, although coach Bill OBrien said he was just getting the day off.Watt has never missed a game in his six-year NFL career.However, there was a time after his surgery in January when he wondered about his future in the NFL.After the first surgery, there were some days there where I really questioned whether or not Id ever be able to play again, he said earlier this month. Just some of the stuff we were dealing with from a rehab standpoint, just the way that the recovery was going early on ... there was a very low point there, and it was tough.Houston selected Watt with the 11th overall pick in the 2011 draft. He has played 83 consecutive games for the Texans despite various injuries, including the torn core muscles and a broken hand last season. He has been a force since entering the league not only because of his pass-rushing prowess, but also because of his uncanny ability to swat down passes. He has 45 passes defended in his six-year career. He has forced 15 fumbles and recovered 13.Watt led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and has 76 for his career.The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
