    I will never advocate underage upskirt shots ever, so I'm just going to mention my complete awe at how brave 15 year old Taylor Momsen was to wear a white see-through negligee/corset(?), with a thong, while on her period, on an elevated stage. I can't even find the courage to wear black leggings out fear of some kind

    That was beautiful, thank you. It took me a long time, but eventually I stopped carrying it as a burden (and was incensed that I felt I had to), and started being open about my experiences. People really do not like to hear about unpleasant things, and their reactions can be so hurtful, but you're right - through

    Like vampirism?

    I can't edit my comment, but I do think it is bullshit when non-penetrative sexual assault is "weak" case by default. There are plenty of other ways to sexually abuse someone, and it frightens me how many victims are ignored because our standards are so high. I know there is a rampant fear of false allegations, but

    I'm not really sure what you want. She is a judge that is not very good at her job. She has been accused by many other people for not being very good at her job. She has been sued for not being very good at her job. I have no interest in doing anything about my case, at all. I am feeling really guilty though because

    Thank you for all of that information and the complaint form. That judge is appalling.

    I wasn't the only victim and we were kids when it happened, so in the interest of her privacy I don't feel comfortable naming him.

    I think it's really important everyone tell their story, at the very least to break the stigma that it's some terrible dark secret we have to carry around forever.

    That is awful! The fact that she needed luck to get protection is such bullshit. Our justice system/society is so messed up.

    This was when I was in my early teens, and it was shocking how much almost everyone in my life failed me at that time. I'm really okay now and have made peace with it, but seriously I couldn't believe it as it was happening and sometimes I find myself shocked at how much people were afraid of hearing about sex crimes.

    If it makes you feel any better I think it got a lot worse for him. The last time I checked, he lived in this seedy motel with all of these other registered sex offenders, as there are so few places for them to live. He was also publicly disbarred when he confessed and can no longer practice law. And he was assaulted

    Apparently some of the jurors did believe me, but didn't feel they could do much. There was a woman sitting in the back of the court room visibly upset, and I had no idea who she was. Apparently, when they were selecting jurors they asked if any of them had been sexually assaulted (because that might bias the jurors's

    This was almost 10 years ago, but I actually think she's a superior court judge for the county now. There are a bunch of forum "reviews" for her and she's not very popular, and was accused of favoring "pedophile rights."

    Yeah my sexual assault case was handled somewhat similarly in another county in Georgia. The judge told the jury that I was lying and the case was a waste of everyone's time. She even read the newspaper during my testimony. The perpetrator was found not guilty. A year later he confessed to other sexual assaults and

    Narcoleptic here to say that (unfortunately?) that's not narcolepsy. Her behavior doesn't resemble cataplexy at all, which is actual paralysis and always scary, no matter how 'routine.' Nor does it look like she's having a sleep attack, which looks pretty much like someone just fell asleep. A sleep attack doesn't

    Do you write articles and can I read them all right now? I don't even know what's happened, but somehow that's like the most logical, articulate, and patient(?) comment I've ever read. Are you in politics, I will vote for you.

    It's Ghostbuters, when the ghost drives the car, you know.

    If I remember correctly this came out, and was a big deal, a while ago. Kim was going to have sex with her long time boyfriend at 15, and her mom knew, so she put her on birth control. Kim might've even asked for it. Everyone freaked out when it became tabloid fodder, but Kris was completely unapologetic about it.

    answered with words more or less fashioned into coherent thoughts

    No dude, that's dementia.
