Normally Synapse bags on stupid criminals. This week, he's going to bag on dumb cops. A friend of mine, Carol (Names and some details have been changed to protect the innocent) was raped in her home in broad daylight. Her normally sharp judgment had been clouded by stress and anxiety about her husbands health and lack of sleep. The fellow kept hammering away at her to give out her address until she relented. When he came to the home, he ended up raping her. The only way she was able to get rid of him was to cough up a lung until he became so repulsed he left the house.
When she finally called the police some four hours later (after trying to regain some of her wits, making sure someone could take the kids so she could deal with the aftermath, etc) They came to the house, took her to the station, and over five hours period of time, they had her write it. Then, after having read it, the (male) officer stated he didn't believe her story and had her rewrite the deposition to his liking (i.e. the sex was consensual) The case was dropped, and the whole time, she states, he was calling her "Sweetie" and "Honey" and completely just badgering her to say it was consensual. Now, Carol is facing charges of filing a false report. (A class A misdemeanor)
Now, common sense dictates what is consensual and what isn't. If the woman keeps saying "no" and trying to move away, chances are it wasn't consensual, no matter what the woman's past history or anything else was. If the police actually did their jobs as opposed to trying to rid themselves of paperwork, we might actually get a few problem people off the streets. Rape kit = not done. Asking for a description of the assailant = not done. Allowing another female or support person in the police interview = not done. Treating the victim with respect = not done. And the insinuation the cop made that she should have just loosened up and gotten into it = COMPLETE AND TOTAL GIBBERISH. And why is a male cop allowed alone in a room with a female victim???
Carol is seriously considering suing the department, as their treatment of her was completely atrocious. And, she adds, "I will never again look to the police for their help, and I want my tax money back."
Wow...what city was this? Also, did she know the guy who did it who kept badgering for her number? You can refrain from answering since I understand or you can send a message to my youtube channel, happyhooker83. To me, I don't care if you are a sex worker or a non sex worker, no one has the right to sexually harass or rape you. Especially in light of the fact that womyn in remote tribes of Africa wear NOTHING, yet they don't get raped. Why? Because those societies are far advanced than us in respecting their womyn whereas our societies (european, hypochristian societies) are rooted in a deep distrust and disdain for womyn (Eve ate the apple that caused sin, thus womyn are at fault for causing sin) along with it's puritanical, misogynist, and anti-sex views. As for the sick fuck policeman who kept calling her all those names, I wonder how many sex workers he had raped? He needs his dick cut off.
ReplyDeleteShe isn't a "sex worker". She oftentimes states men would pay her $1500 just to get the hell off the street. Interesting that the judge entered a not guilty plea on her behalf when she never offered a plea one way or the other. and I agree with you, arresting the victim and letting the perp go his merry way to do this to others took a lot of balls < / sarcasm> She tells me she will not call them ever again, not even to get a cat out of a tree, unless its a pissed off mountain lion :)
