funny thing, the idea of ''innocent until proven guilty'' only applies in the court of law. it's a crazy idea, but you are actually allowed to talk about your own personal experiences however you want to in whatever format you choose. i can complain about whatever i want—a bus driver being rude to me, for…

yeah sorry, I'm talking about Hart. I'm the ''Amy'' that Cecilia interviewed.

hey—thanks for commenting. we've all been wondering over here in portland about hart's ''past life'' and where the fuck he came from, as well as if there are a bunch of his victims in michigan. if you know or hear of anyone from there who was abused or assaulted by hart, let us know, k?

hey there, i'm the person who that was written about. in my situation, yeah the deal was that he entered me without a condom when i'd explicitly said that wasn't okay. ''nonconsensually penetrated'' could mean, however, more along the lines of what you said—fooling around, being naked, but not having had sex yet or…

you are so strong and so brave and amazing. i'm so glad you got out of that relationship and that you're taking care of yourself and your son. so much of that sounds exactly like what hart did. if you ever need to talk to someone, just let me know.

It's interesting, now that all of us victims have found each other, the thing that so many of us have in common is that we are strong, assertive, feminists. I really do think that was part of his ''thing.'' Like he wanted to date powerful women (and trans folks) so that he could take them down and degrade them.

Kind of both—I didn't know Hart before we went on a date, which was where the consent stuff got brought up, but I know he had lots of online conversations constantly about consent, female objectification, feminist theory, etc. He was always sharing stuff on his FB about feminism.

if you read the counterpunch article that she linked to in there, there are *some* things happening! i've actually been really impressed and so heartened by the community response in this case. it's been the only thing that's made this entire experience bearable. if you need something more positive to wash this down…

Hart would constantly compare non-veganism to rape, even after literal rape victims asked him not to. He was invited to a Thanksgiving dinner that was going to have turkey at it and he said ''that's like making a rape joke in front of a rape victim.''

this sounds like exactly what happened with me and Hart. We met up on a bike ride and he was super insistent on going back to his apartment to put his bike inside before we went to get a drink, and wanted me to put mine inside too. It made sense because it's always safer to have your bike inside instead of outside a…

I mean the thing is this dude didn't hang out in internet forums. Yeah he had his blog that he ran but in many ways he did seem to ''walk the talk;'' he was involved in protests and on our first date gave me several examples of ways that he'd stuck up for women. In hindsight I can see that it was all calculated…

Yeah he refused to use protection and actually told three of us, whom he was dating at the same time, that he didn't need to use condoms with us individually because he was using protection with anyone else he slept with. several people believe he gave them herpes. also on our first date when i asked if he had a…

This is Amy, one of Hart Noecker's victims that Cecilia quoted in this piece. First, I just wanted to thank Cecilia publicly for writing this piece and going about it in such a thoughtful and respectful way. This is so much better than the libelous, inaccurate garbage that the Willamette Week published, and it really…
