Back in 2006, a Boca Raton tanning salon employee ran to a nearby pizza shop in tears.  She said a customer had grabbed her, kissed her, and tried to rape her. Despite plenty of evidence for probable cause, the prosecutor decided not to follow up.  I mean there are verified stories of on-duty police officers repeatedly groping gas-station employees on camera and only getting probation, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Everything about this predictable story makes me sick.  "He said, she said" is a thing because men run law enforcement.  Are there not security cameras in tanning salons?

This article discusses behavior that could certainly be independently verified if investigated, including that McMahon allegedly showed this employee nude pictures of himself on his phone.  But this happened in Florida, the same state currently housing Jair Bolsonaro, where Jeff Epstein got his super sweet deal from Trump's other buddy Alex Acosta, two years after this incident.

The Daily Beast

"McMahon, who was married to wife Linda, now the chief of the Small Business Administration for President Donald Trump, strongly denied the allegation at the time. He did not respond to requests for comment for this article."...
"A handful of 2006 press reports remain online (Woman, 22, Says McMahon Tried Too Many Moves), but many others have disappeared or can only be found on forums where they appear to have been pasted without permission."

Here's what really pisses me off, the way this young woman at her minimum wage job was expected to deal with an alleged geriatric groper who was close friends with the POTUS.

"Clear [the manager] said the woman started to cry on the phone as she told her that an “older gentlemen followed me into a room and tried to kiss me.”

The attendant asked Clear if she should call the police, but Clear urged her not to and told her she was coming to the salon. When she arrived, she saw a man sitting in a black Hummer in the parking lot and a Papa John’s employee in the salon, she told police.

McMahon’s accuser then showed Clear how she used her hands to push him off of her and said this happens to her “all the time,” according to the documents."  [Emphasis added]

I can't imagine managing some shitty tanning salon, having some young girl call me in tears like that, and telling her not to call the police because I'm on my way over there to make it all go away.  But that's why I'm socially marginalized.  God bless the woman Kobe Bryant admitted raping.

 Exactly like the title says.  Apparently after jerking the survivors around for years, now Ron Jeremy doesn't recognize his attorney and there's no sign that he's faking it.  How nice for him.
LA Times

"Jeremy, who has denied all wrongdoing, is scheduled to appear in a Hollywood courtroom Jan. 17, when he will be formally declared incompetent to aid in his own defense" [emphasis added]

"Some of Jeremy’s relatives apparently suspected he suffered from dementia before his 2020 arrest, “which was the catalyst that started the process that resulted in his driver’s license being taken away,” Thompson wrote in the email.Once declared incompetent, Jeremy will probably be placed in a state-run hospital.

Lianne Young, a former British adult film star who first publicly accused Jeremy of assaulting her in an interview with The Times in 2020, said she was frustrated to learn there were concerns Jeremy had dementia long before prosecutors brought charges against him.

“My first reaction, I was kind of numb,” she said. “They were aware of his condition before getting us all involved. They were well aware he had dementia, so I’m very disappointed that they didn’t solve that bit before letting us go on that emotional journey for 2½ years.”

Yeah, I hate the way so many of us have to live with letting alleged perpetrators win pretty much every time.  Maybe Bill Cosby will spoon feed him some pudding.  Sorry to hear it.  At least Harvey's still in jail on his gouty feet. 

"Young said she was wearing a bikini at an industry party at the former House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in 2000 when Jeremy came up behind her, shoved her against a table and forced himself inside her. The encounter lasted only seconds, according to Young, who said she fought him off quickly. "

A Tinder date that started in Maryland allegedly turned into a human trafficking nightmare for one woman.  She ended up being tattooed with some scumbag rapper's name and jumping out of a moving vehicle on an expressway to escape the beating she said she was undergoing when she didn't want to continue working as a prostitute in Florida.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is a true gift to the world, doing God's work.

On September 1, 2022, NCMEC forwarded 14 separate tips about a single suspect to the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigations.  That subject was identified as Kevin Etherington, who was at that time employed as the Assistant District Attorney for Payne County.

Side note, I hate it when governmental entities put out their official statements on Facebook, but here you go.  Here is another link on Law & Crime.  From L&C:

"A sworn affidavit of probable cause obtained by Oklahoma City NBC affiliate KFOR-TV, investigators recovered “at least 153 videos, screenshots, and photos of prepubescent girls being sexually abused and exploited” from an account alleged to belong to Etherington. The account’s IP address and the email address were both directly connected to Etherington, OSBI said."

It occurs to me that if women were more proportionally represented in law enforcement there would be a lot less of this crap going on.  The US has always excluded women from exercising power, since making us subordinate in the constitution -- a classification which remains as of this writing, at the end of 2022.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_inequality_in_the_United_States:

"The Center for American Women and Politics reports that, as of 2013, 18.3% of congressional seats are held by women and 23% of statewide elective offices are held by women; while the percentage of Congress made up of women has steadily increased, statewide elective positions held by women have decreased from their peak of 27.6% in 2001. Women also make up, as of 2013, 24.2% of state legislators in the United States. Among the one hundred largest cities in the United States, ten had female mayors as of 2013.[10]"

 So I feel like having law enforcement be the non-stop sausage party that it always has been is one part of the problem.  A lot of good police are men.  But having them running every show every time is part of the problem. While not all men are sexual abusers, 95% of sexual abusers are men.  Just putting it out there.

Emery Taylor is a manager at a gas station in Louisville, Kentucky.  See the report here.

The place she works at offers free coffee to law enforcement, which is not unusual.  When I was a paramedic we all went to the place that gave us free coffee, which was ingenious because we also fueled up those diesel trucks.

Officer Robert Neff is seen on security footage in the store Taylor runs, tying Taylor's hands behind her back.  He goes on to sexually manhandle her, as though nobody could see them.  Lord knows what he does on patrol, when he's not standing under security cameras.

Taylor had already alerted coworkers that she was uncomfortable with Neff, who came in often and wanted side-hugs.  He had repeatedly tried to give her a phone number.  That's why a coworker immediately rushed to her side and attempted, unsuccessfully, to dissuade Neff from kissing and groping Taylor on the two occasions caught on security tape.

Taylor had no interest whatsoever in Neff.  She couldn't understand why he continued to pursue her.

As an old woman I completely understand.  It's very simple:  She happens to have whatever physical attributes turn him on.  Simple as that.  Nothing to overthink.   Maybe it's her lovely figure, or her red hair, or both.  There's  a reason people wear hijab.  It's the fact that she's a good enough person not to have stabbed him by now.  Not at all blaming her, she's awesome and he's IMHO criminally insane, and the world apparently isn't very bothered.

It's painful to watch the report for many reasons, not the least of which is Taylor struggling to make sense of why she in particular was targeted.  "Why me?" she asks in tears.   She's looking to find the fault in herself that made her the target, how she's to blame.

When that isn't it at all.  It's that he has lost his damned mind.  And she had the particular package that he likes.  That's all.  If the other girl's thing was the one that makes his dick hard, she would've been the one he grabbed, or the black one.  That's all.  That's literally all.   

There's nothing for Emery Taylor to cry about on that level, of why he picked her to bully like this.  She wasn't the weakest one.  She was the one he personally found the hottest.  And he's out of his damned mind.  He thinks he can do whatever he wants with his dick because he can take people into custody and order them around like a game of Simon Says gone mad.

This on-duty officer followed the manager around the gas station for over two hours, think about that.  Followed her into the back room, and is seen on camera groping her.

He has got to be stopped, and I'm not sure his local law enforcement community has the appetite for it.  Because he got a very dainty little wrist slap, probation only, for stalking, harassment, multiple unlawful restraints and sexual assaults, in front of bystanders in a gas station, on videotape.  He did all of this while in uniform and on duty.  Not one day of jail time.  

His fellow officers apparently aren't that bothered, in other words, because Neff was allowed to resign.  So he'll get another police job.   I'll be surprised if Kentucky revokes his police powers just because they can see the videotapes for themselves and he pled guilty.

They're tossing the survivor some chump change and telling her to go away because their policeman did those things while on the clock.   And those are her options.  I think they gave her $55,000.

Emery Taylor wasn't looking for money, jokers. Plea bargaining is brutal on the survivors, I don't know if people understand

At the end of the day Future Officer Neff is not safe for a badge or a gun.  He's loose in the goose.  Louisville and Robert Neff both screwed Emery Taylor over.  Justice failed here.

I wish I was making this up.
But no, after finding Cathal Feeney guilty of raping a woman he met on Plenty of Fish:

"Judge Sherrard told [Cathal] Feeney: “You are still a young man. There’s nothing that will stop you moving on with your life in a more productive way, finding work or finding a wife or partner, getting a family and a home.

“The order imposed is the lightest touch I can afford.”

He specifically didn't ban him from using the internet to prowl for more victims like the one he attacked in the instant case, because "he did not want him excluded from normal life.” 

Unlike all the women he attacked, whose lives the judge acknowledged will never be normal again.

According to the linked article eight different women, including his mother and grandmother, have protection orders against Feeney.  Judge Sherrard noted that Feeney doesn't grasp the seriousness of his behavior.  But this is where it goes all off the rails for me:

"A probation officer said Feeney should be considered dangerous, but Judge Sherrard felt the threshold wasn’t met, and while accepting his offending has escalated, it was the first sexual offence [that has been reported].
​
It was noted Feeney received support from prison chaplain Fr Michael Bingham who, although recently passed away, found “the character image of the defendant being a menace to vulnerable women is one I find hard to reconcile given his moral sensibilities.”

Well, if a Catholic priest finds it hard to believe you're a molester, I think that seals the deal, eh?  Aren't they the ones?  JFC, kill me now.

I'm at a loss for words.  I can't help but wonder what it would take to straighten out Judge Sherrard's  disordered thinking.  I struggle every day to get out of bed in a world where men just don't give a shit how they impact our lives.  I truly don't care what happens to Judge Sherrard, what misery befalls him.  If he dropped dead in front of me, this paramedic wouldn't do CPR.

In I Saw The Devil's Face, I talk about the heartbreaking case of Lavail Calhoun, whose case was allowed to fail at the grand jury level.  Therefore her alleged attacker, Dondi Craig, will always remain officially innocent until proven guilty of the crimes against her.  Craig then went on to abduct, sexually torture, and murder two small girls as I discuss in the book.

Now we have another example of a similar situation.  A woman named Alicia Franklin has filed a lawsuit against the City of Memphis, because she says they failed to follow up on her complaints about a man she called Cleo attacking her back in 2021.  The same man now stands accused of abducting and murdering jogger Eliza Fletcher.

From the above link:

"Alicia Franklin sued the city of Memphis on Tuesday, accusing the Memphis Police Department of failing to follow up on leads in her case even though she completed a rape kit and provided the first name, phone number, social media information, and a description of the car driven by Cleotha Abston. Abston is accused of abducting Fletcher, a teacher, while she was on her morning run and killing her on Sept. 2."

It's exhausting to me, how it's always the same old thing.  The police just can't bring themselves to take it seriously when we complain about rape.  Then somebody gets murdered.  I'm fatigued with the apathy about the damage done to women's lives.  It didn't bother the city, whatever was done to Alicia Franklin's life last year when she reported it.  I'm tired of how obvious it is.

"Franklin is now seeking damages for the lack of justice in her own case as well as to bring to light how police failed other women by failing to arrest Abston sooner.

“I definitely believe she would still be alive today,” Franklin told Good Morning America on Wednesday."

I'm glad she's doing that.  I think that's really the only way you get America's attention, is by suing them and getting paid.  That's the only way anything changes.  I'm proud of her.

There's so much wrong with this story.  Let me just start here:

"Police charged [Todd] Walls with first- and third-degree rape, sodomy and unlawful transaction with a minor, according to the original arrest citation. The case was pleaded down to a single count of sexual misconduct. Walls was sentenced to 12-months probation and a $65 fine. "

This was regarding a 15-year-old girl that he met while on duty as a Louisville police officer.  So even though he was quite guilty of raping a teenager -- while a sworn law enforcement officer -- all he got was probation and a lower fine than you get for parking on the sidewalk in my town.  Granted this was all the way back in 1996.

So why are they firing him now, when his employer hasn't cared about it in all these intervening years?  Well, the state has forced their hand.

"Kentucky House Bill 206, signed into law earlier this year, was aimed to keep officers off the force that have been convicted of sex crimes. The law requires KLEC to decertify officers who have been convicted of misdemeanor sex crimes."  That led to Walls' law-enforcement certification finally being revoked, much to his boss' dismay.  I'm a little dismayed about "misdemeanor sex crimes," and actually all of this.

The above-linked article clarifies the finer points of expungement, including that it doesn't mean that legally "it never happened." It also clarifies that this case wasn't eligible for expungement for two reasons:  1. It's a sex offense, and 2. It involved a minor.  Expungement simply means the conviction -- this officer was convicted as I will clarify below -- is wiped off your record.  As the linked article states, "It is not clear why a judge said this case could be expunged."  I would suggest corruption and rape culture as two possible reasons.

But wait, isn't it all just he-said, she said?  Maybe the girl is lying.  Maybe she said she was 18.  You can't ruin a good man's life with false accusations.

"WDRB obtained a copy of the Crimes Against Children Unit report from a source and last month reported details of the 1996 case that included phone calls between Walls and the girl. "Was I good in bed for a 15-year-old?" the girl asked, according to a transcript of the phone call obtained by WDRB. "Heck Yeah," Walls responded."

Okay, so he did it, and he knew, and he DGAF. He pled guilty, got a wrist slap.  Then his record got expunged, and he got hired on as a deputy somewhere else.  So did his new employer, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, not know they were hiring a scumbag?

Jefferson County, You're Doomed

Citizens of Jefferson County, Kentucky, your sheriff had to be forced to remove this POS from its department.  It took a  firm arm-twist by the state, or they weren't going to do a damned thing to keep him away from your daughter.  They know exactly who he is.

"Col. Carl Yates, a sheriff's department spokesman, previously told WDRB that the office was aware of the sex crime conviction and had lawyers look into it.

"We asked legal counsel, and we were we were told that it means it never happened," Yates said. "When records are expunged it means it never happened."

Col. Carl Yates Is Not Worried About Your 15-Year-Old Daughter Getting Raped By A Deputy, Because Lawyers Told Him It Would Be Fine

"WDRB located the now-adult woman as part of efforts to authenticate the Crimes Against Children Unit file. She has never spoken publicly about the sexual encounters with Walls. WDRB is not identifying the woman, as she is a survivor of a sex crime. [Emphasis added]

She's the one who needs to hide it, not him.  Why is that?  Why does she end up hiding a dark secret on society's margin, while it takes 26 years to get him in actual trouble?

"I feel like my silence has allowed (Walls) to feel entitled to keep a position in law enforcement," she said in a recent interview. "I want to make the record very clear: He raped me. He took advantage of me. He committed a crime against a child."

People are paying the salaries of these decision-makers on their behalf.

Some middle-school boys in Rhode Island thought their teacher was a creep.   He would make up flirtatious nicknames for the girls, demand that they get up and dance for him in class, say that tomorrow would be swimsuit day.

The teacher was known to also be rude to the boys at times.  The kids had complained about the way their teacher creeped on the girls.  And just like back in my day, there was nothing to be done about it.  The teacher told them so himself.  He had tenure.  He had withstood years of parental complaints.  When the boys complained, they were ignored.

But these wonderful young men were uncomfortable with what they saw.  So in this internet age they decided to take action.  They understand how the world works now.  They began crowdsourcing, and documenting his behavior.

"During COVID, as they attended class online, they’d open the Discord channel on a split-screen and document the teacher’s comments in real time:
“You all love me so choose love.”
“You gotta stand up and dance now.”
Everyone “in bathing suits tomorrow.”
Once they were back in class in person, the boys jotted down notes to add to the channel later: Flirting with one girl. Teasing another. Calling the girls “sweetheart” and “sunshine.” Asking one girl to take off her shoes and try wiggling her toes without moving her pinkies.
“I felt bad for [the girls] because sometimes it just seems like it was a humiliating thing,” the boy told the Globe. “He’d play a song and he’d make one of them get up and dance.”

When one girl filed a restraining order against the teacher, he was finally placed on leave.  There is currently a criminal investigation into him and another employee, a coach who performed naked "fat tests" on several teens in his basement.

I'm so very proud of these boys who took the initiative to protect their classmates.  I'm glad that I lived long enough to see the world change in this way.
