A sex worker friend of mine answered an ad for a private sex party hostess position. As it was explained to her, the job mostly required that she walk around in cocktail attire and/or lingerie and mingle, participating in sexual activity only if she chose to do so. And it paid extremely well.

WA has varying degrees of rape charges (1st-3rd degree, all felonies), with factors such as presence of a deadly weapon, “force,” and absence of consent due to mental incapacitation (drugs/drinking). It is still a very messy area of law and unfortunately policy change has been slow to come. Date rape is still…

They should be prosecuted as rape (itself a violent crime) + some of other assault charge (to account for choking, hitting, threats of violence with a weapon, etc.). Having degrees like “kind of rape” and “legitimate rape” contributes to this idea so may people have that it’s not “really” rape unless there’s a gun…

Yeah, what about defamation?

Can she sue for identify theft? He was using her name and likeness.

Providing alcohol to someone underage is illegal and should have given them a much better avenue in proceeding with rape/sex…

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with punishing really violent rapes even more harshly.

Seems to me Whoopi has nowhere else to go

I will always like Guinan.

Either she’s Becky or she wants everyone to think she is.

But where was Rachael Ray during this time?

I believe worst memoir title still belongs to OJ’s “If I did it”

“Life’s too short to be dating the human equivalent of mashed potatoes”

Note to self: become a hobbyist beekeeper so I can write memoir about the life lessons it taught me titled “Bitch, I might bee”

she probably didn’t bring her driver’s license with her, she grabbed the place card so her body could be identified

Glad they got him. The SOB who killed my cousin in a hit-and-run in March hasn’t been caught.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling some regret. I voted for him way back in one of the early Super Tuesday races and ever time I hear one of his supporters call Clinton a bitch or a cunt I wish I could change my vote.

Man, it's hard enough to find ONE partner...
