‘I Am Evidence’ Is An Eye-Opening Look At The Rape Kit Backlog
Woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her at 13 drops lawsuit
hey all, i need to get real right now, because a friend filled me in on this only this morning. it feels like no one has heard this news, and that’s probably because no one is reporting it due to election overload. trump’s victim has dropped the charges. let me make this clear: she had 2 sworn eyewitnesses to the literal rape (do u know how rare that is?) so we know the case itself had some definite identifiable merit going in, and 2 days before dropping the charges jane doe was going to break her anonymity. it’s reported that she received so many death threats in the hours between announcing that action and holding the press conference to do so that her safety became a serious concern and the press conference was cancelled. later, on the 6th, she dropped the charges altogether. it’s not going to trial.
do i think this is a coincidence? no fucking way. do i think he’s a rapist? most definitely; i don’t need a trial to recognize the truth. but we do need to reflect on the fact that this is what rape culture looks like: a world in which a woman can’t get justice for her childhood sexual assaut, because it would mean suing the president-elect of the united states and would put her life in serious danger. the lawyers were unclear as to why she dropped the charges, but it’s my firm belief that, like many survivors of assault, the pressure of laying her story out in front of the world became overwhelming, especially with so much at stake. it’s scary enough to press charges against ur rapist if ur both average people. if he’s gonna be the president? hahahahaha fun.
i’ve been sending good thoughts her way, and i don’t want to be the bearer of bad news like this, but i’ve seen so many people already talking about organizing around this rape case and it’s not even happening, y’all. this is almost worse than his win, tbh. i’m in so much pain for all of us, especially jane doe and those of us who needed to see him stand trial for this.
wait people don’t know this already i’m baffled by america i’m shook and disgusted
Woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her at 13 drops lawsuit
A rape survivor was thrown in jail for a month after crying in court
On Dec. 8, 2015, “Jenny” — a woman with medically diagnosed bipolar disorder — was testifying against Keith Hendricks in a Texas courtroom. When recalling her trauma of the rape incident during her testimony, Jenny went through a mental breakdown. She reportedly cried and ran out of the room. In response, she was held in jail for one month. But now she’s fighting back.
“ In total, Jenny was held in jail for about one month. Her lawsuit claims that the jail guards didn’t treat Jenny as a victim, but as a convicted criminal. Her attorney Sean Buckley told Raw Story another inmate punched her. According to the suit, she was involved in a physical fight with one of the other jailers due to being frustrated at the treatment she was receiving. She was charged with assault, but the charges were later dropped.

Refugee raped in offshore detention centre begs Australia to let her enter for abortion – Telegraph
The women in pornography are real women. Real women who are humiliated, physically hurt, spat on, tortured. They matter. Their pain, emotions and the abuse of their bodies, matters.
The first image is Thea Wellband, who plays the teenage rape victim in Unwatchable.
The second image is Rose, nine years old, who was raped so violently her hips are permanently damaged.
Hey, here’s a good idea.
YOU DON’T NEED TO THROW ONE GROUP OF RAPE VICTIMS UNDER THE BUS TO BRING UP ANOTHER.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WESTERN WOMEN ARE RAPED AND JACK SHIT IS DONE ABOUT IT? YOU COULD’VE JUST HAD THE BOTTOM PICTURE OF THE GIRL WITH CAPTIONS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HER INSTEAD OF MAKING HER “OPPONENT” LITERALLY ANOTHER RAPE VICTIM.
JUST. STOP.
Survivors see you ignoring that your idols are rapists and pedophiles. We get it, your enjoyment for this person is much more important than any human psssh! Why else would you hail David Bowie as your lizard king? Laugh about how terrible Nic Cage is, but never mention what he did to his ex-wife. Media before people. Entertainment before survivors!
I hate how ppl go thru so many fucking hoops to defend David Bowie giving bs excuses as to why he isn’t an abuser in their eyes smfh
People willingly support abusers then cry when they’re told about the bad things they’ve done. It’s always: “I can separate the art from the artist!” or “I don’t support that BUT-”.
As if they don’t realise that by ignoring what their idol did is supporting their abuse.
