I can't get over how gorgeous these two are. They look like movie people.

They couldn’t leave the state of Hawaii while the charges were pending and this resulted in losing their jobs and their home because in most jobs your employer can’t really deal with ‘gone indefinitely pending criminal charges.’ So, yeah, in that regard, $80k is very little.

Hard to get a job if you have an arrest record. Also, these women were stuck in Hawaii for 6 MONTHS while this was going on. And two nights in jail for kissing?!

If I remember correctly that is the amount they are getting before their legal fees. If that is the case they end up with a lot less. I think they should have gotten more money.

Yes. Whenever someone is like “Ugh, do they have to shove it in our faces?” I’m like “You mean the same way straight couples hold hands etc in public?”

The legal fees and time lost while dealing with this shit will eat up most of that 80k. As always, the lawyers win.

How is this “plenty”? That’s obviously subjective. But I think their arrest record (which was not expunged) and the fact that Hawaii wouldn’t let them leave (tourists are a flight risk, so they had to extend their vacation and call in sick to work) are HUGE problems. Once the police say you aren’t allowed to leave,…

I’d hardly call 5-6 months “fairly brief,” particularly when it means spending them thousands of miles from home and with only the stuff you brought on vacation with you.

Same couple. They even became homeless at one point.

I mean why not both? I think both these women and the girls that got raped by Jared got too little.

They were unable to leave the island for several months until charges were dropped. It wasn't simply 2 days in lock up, a horrifying event in itself, but they were de facto homeless as a result of kissing someone

Right? Two hot people start making out, you rake that eye candy in - and this moron breaks it up?

Nothing bugs the shit out of me more than the fact that those girls raped by Jared got so little.

Two days in jail, an arrest on your record, shame and humiliation. Totally worth that money or more.

“I mean do they have to do it in public”

This is them. The charges were only dropped after 5 or 6 months and they were unable to leave Hawaii the entire time.

Wait, was this the same couple who couldn’t return home because of this? I remember reading how one of them lost their job because they had to stay there or keep going back. Or am I confusing it with another case?

I’m glad they won this.

“Hey you two, stop displaying that you are happy with each other in a publicly acceptable romantic way!” Ugh...

I miss Sassy so much. This would never have happened in Sassy! I’m gonna go put on my combat boots and babydoll dress and sulk in the corner until it’s over.
