Rape/Sexual Assault Culture

https://www.theledger.com/news/2019...rt-vindicated-as-rapist-gets-17-year-sentence

Rape culture is a 13-year old victim having to film her second rape herself for anyone to believe her.

 

Look on the bright side. At least the perpetrators don't have to film themselves raping someone.

The only thing that struck me as odd was... didn't he notice her filming and photographing him?

 

It's easy to record on a phone without being noticed or anyone thinking anything of it now. I'm guessing that's all she had to do.

 

Thanks, @soccernutter, I wanted to move @dapip post but was not sure where to move it. I guess this works.

I sort of feel sorry for Ms. Hill.
She had an affair, she put that person on he staff.
That was a stupid move, likely illegal, and subject to sanctions. It was just LAST YEAR that Congress passed a rule against having relationships with subordinates.
She is then just destroyed with nude pictures published by soon-to-be ex-husband (he claims his "phone was hacked").
That is just disgusting.

I decided to go down the rabbit hole and actually read a couple of the many Red State articles about Ms. Hill. I will not post links, as I will not give those bastards any free additional free publicity.

They have texts, as well as photos.

If the ex-husband's phone was "hacked," how did he obtain nude pictures of Ms. Hill on his phone? Why did he still have those photos on his phone?

 

I think that was part of the "throuple" thing, which was pretty much the point I stopped reading.

 

That was what I thought at first, but he then mentions her "opening up" the relationship, so I was a bit confused.

The "opening up" might have been that he alleges she slept with another man.

I, too, stopped reading.

 

A Yahoo! story informed me of Tennessee sex trafficking. I opened the article, because the words are frequently used in the U.S. but the proven incidences are fewer. The "sex trafficking" consisted of an undercover agent pretending to be a 16 year old soliciting sex, and then arresting potential customers. Tennessee LE called that crime sex trafficking.

That is not sex trafficking. Stop lying to me on the grounds that is the cause is just the truth doesn't matter. Yeah, it does matter.

 

I don't get the sex trafficking charge myself. I always thought that involved abducting someone and then pimping them out.

But does it not qualify as something illegal? It seems like the same thing as a standard prostitution sting, except in this case, it's done over the phone/www and the target is "customers" who prey on children.

 

There is the mythical midnight kidnapping of the virginal white honor student sold to evil Middle Eastern/Eastern European types who can only be rescued by the SEALS or Mel Gibson.

Then we have people of all ages and races identifying girls of all races who are both attractive enough to be profitable and desperate enough to be molded into whatever type of companion the market will bear.

One ia scary but not real.
The other ,just as scary and all too real.
Right Mr. Epst-oh never mind.

 

Wasn't that Liam Neeson? Not that it matters....

 

Got Ransom and Taken confused - oops.

 

Maybe you're thinking of "Taken 4 Ransom IV"?

 

Exactly. But my question remains. What happened HAS to be against the law some kinda way. What law is it in violation of?

 

It's usually considered solicitation,and in the case of a person attempting to solicit a supposed 16 year old,there are further charges.

 

https://www.dhs.gov/blue-campaign/what-human-trafficking

D.H.S. characterizes "trafficking" as follows:

Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use violence, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations....

...Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to lure their victims and force them into labor or commercial sexual exploitation. They look for people who are susceptible for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social safety net, natural disasters, or political instability. The trauma caused by the traffickers can be so great that many may not identify themselves as victims or ask for help, even in highly public settings.
​

So @JohnR is correct. The Yahoo article is carelessly written.

 

Not necessarily. I'll explain how I know this later, when I'm typing with two hands on a keyboard and not one finger on a screen

 

"human trafficking" has gone all wonky lately in its definition, especially the definitions law enforcement and some governments are using - most actual sex workers claim this is just a way to crack down on the workers themselves (or at least those who self-employ) - and has nothing to do with concern for any actual trafficking in human beings.
Statistically sex workers are most in danger from the police, big surprise.

 

"Human Trafficking" can be things like coyotes who rip people off by promising to get them across the border into the US. Often these are dangerous situations and desperate people are taken advantage of, but it doesn't have anything to do with sex or sexual exploitation. It's just a con.

 

Wait now. Pimps traffic, customers solicit. That is the English language.

 

Like the English language and legal language are related to each other ...

 

I read the legal definition. If I ask a minor for sex I have trafficked him, although I don't know him, haven't moved him, haven't pimped him, haven't touched him, and he is such a virgin that he has never been kissed.

In fact, if I ask a 25 year old for sex but I think she is 16, then I have trafficked her too.

So I am dead wrong, it seems. Damn lawyers.

 

I'm amazed that you all are amazed. The next thing you'll be posting about is discovering that wire fraud often has nothing to do with telegraph machines.
