I stand, as always, with survivors.
The possibility that any child may not survive abuse, because those involved in their rescue have been redeployed to work immigration, is beyond appalling.

It's time to reframe the conversation about safe sex to also encompass pleasure. Safety and pleasure aren't mutually exclusive. You can have both! https://www.sexandpsychology.com/blog/podcast/episode-442-can-safer-sex-still-be-sexy/

This #showmeyourhellhole stuff is cool and all, but personally, I won't believe that #Chicago is okay until I see a #dilf standing in front of Chagall's Four Seasons, slowly unbuttoning the top two of his shirt, mouthing to camera "Hey Holly. We're good, baby."

I stand with survivors.
This was despicable behaviour and deserved a harsher penalty.
I also find it ridiculous that a judge can decline to add an offender's name to the CSO register when they've been convicted.

We should believe survivors, but for those who won't
I'll just say that if you write a "he seems like such a good boy and he's got his whole life ahead of him" letter for a judge
The next time he grapes
You should be charged as an accessory
