“The defendant [Danny Masterson] drugs his victims to gain control,” Deputy District Attorney Ariel Anson said in her closing argument. “He does this to take away his victims’ ability to consent.”
“The women testified that when they reported Masterson to church officials, they were told they were not raped, were put through ethics programs themselves, and were warned against going to law enforcement to report a member of such high standing.”
Classic gaslighting, intimidation, and victim-blaming nonsense.
Predatory behavior like this takes place worldwide, within all socioeconomic levels, all occupations, all nationalities, religions, families. It knows no bounds. It’s all about power.
Go justice system! Here's to keeping our democracy healthy and functioning, even if it does get messy. |
