They believed her. Police discovered the box—as well as the knife he repeatedly threatened her with—after she came to them with her story. Everything was still in the house...except Horn.

That poor woman. She already suffered so much. And her son!

No but being held without bond might have, given the severity of his crimes.

It definitely appears to be BDSM, but not sure this is puppy play. Having a partner on a leash is pretty common...

It’s garden- variety exhibitionism. I was a dom in the 90s. The fact that it’s being ‘performed’ in public is what speaks the loudest.

I think you’re right, and a lot of these dudes who otherwise uphold the patriarchy (have ratings systems for women to make future wives, usually pretty douchey and traditional not in a good way) are the same ones who try to secretly call up dommes. I think it hits a little too close to home and puts an inconvenient…

If they're both into it, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I have no problems with this at all, but I’m not surprised that some of the public does. Outraged people be outraged, man. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know people can be kicked out of Malls for whatever and it is not some outrage but i don’t see a problem with it as long as both consented (appeared to). Happened in London, with genders reversed recently.

Consenting adults? A’ight then. You do you.

BDSM??? right

The DA would have to file the charges. And it’d be hard to file charges against a John Doe without tying it to something as specific as a DNA profile, but Wu is basically saying here that law enforcement could pull his name fairly easy from phone records, if they... chose to do that.

Couldn’t she file charges against “John Doe”? I thought I rembered NYC doing this with a ton of sexual assault cold cases with unmatched (or unprocessed) rape kits- to basically prolong the statutes of limitations.

“I can’t stress this enough,” she told Jezebel at the time. ‘The wider point here is the gamification of the harassment of women.”

I mean, she said that video games shouldn’t be actively sexist, that seems like an incredibly proportionate response.

yeah this man is clearly ill and also a hero

There’s a story about Henry II doing something similar. I don’t even have a reaction beyond that. Like, you do you, dude. You do you.
