I disagree. Giving EJ PG's details, and putting the onus on the victim to reach out to PG, is (IMHO) the kind of attitude that got us here. I think this is what happened with AirBnB too: they probably gave her a number to call "if you need anything", and then just moved on.

The victim shouldn't have to go around knocking on doors to get help. Sometimes it's nice if the help comes to victim on its own volition.

In this case the 'someone' happens to be PG, a complete stranger to EJ and somebody with financial stake in airbnb, who got EJ's contact info from another complete stranger on the internet?

The victim also shouldn't be stalked or contacted by investors in the company that has already intimidated her and whose gross negligence hampered a speedy resolution to the crimes that were committed against her.
