Yeah, I was suspicious about the story from the beginning too, but didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to question what I thought was a vetted story. The part that was suspicious to me was where the friends actually said they were worried about the hit to their social lives if she reported. I think a lot of…

In college, I had several friends who were raped, some violently, and I subsequently enrolled in Women’s Studies as a second major, specifically sexual violence against women. During my time in college, I met countless women who had been raped, and who had been failed by the police and by the University...I also came…

Including quotes from the friends and only verifying them from Jackie is amazingly inept. I can’t get my head around that. You are running virtually verbatium quotes, not ‘Jackie says her friend said something to the effect of’ but speech marked QUOTES and you don’t get in contact with the people who said them! Whaa?

I…

It kills me that so many idiots will use this as a rallying cry to undermine efforts to fix a very real problem. I understand there is a very fine tight rope investigative journalists have to traverse but this, there were so many mistakes that didn't need to be made.

“Fuck that shit...We’re just living our motherfucking lives.”

I was VIP for her show last night and can vouch that the crowd went BONKERS when she said that. She’s a queen, and it made my heart smile to hear everyone agreeing with her!

Hooray, but also, fuck, 18 years? Pretty sure most get less than that for crimes like rape and attempted murder.

On a scale of 1 to 10, my schadenfreude is at 140.

So according to the LA Times, “Bollaert was ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution to his victims and a $10,000 fine. Bollaert will be allowed to serve the sentence in a county jail rather than state prison under the judge’s ruling.” And “Prosecutors said more than 10,000 images from California and other states were…

Bollaert earned about $900 a month in website ad revenue and collected about $30,000 from victims.

As a mom parenting a teen girl in this era of revenge porn and teen boys aggressively pressuring girls for “nude pics”, etc. I have to tell you that one of my least favorite things has been explaining that revenge porn sites exist. It gives me great joy to see this dbag brought to tears during his sentencing, but I…

$10000 and a sentence that could result in release after 10 years with “good” behavior? I’m glad that he got convicted, and so grateful that we finally have revenge porn laws at all — but, sorry, he’s getting off easy. He should be on the sex offender registry.

The other article indicated he also cried at his sentencing.

As this makes me happy, I feel it should be included in this write-up.

This is good.
