Wow, I am so sick from reading this.

I saw that story. Amazing young woman to have the fortitude to do that.

What an amazingly brave young woman..that officer should have been fired long ago!!

To know she is up for a promotion- make it make sense. 😡

Read the article this am & then watched Netflix doc Victim/Suspect. Great reporting by both you & Rae de Leon @raeoflion.bsky.social. Remembering HBO’s I Am Evidence & Netflix’s Unbelievable. The dual victimization of these young women by their assailants & then police is gutting. Also validating.TY

Believe women and girls. Period💜

This was a painful story to read. So many adults failed Taylor at every corner. She had to do their job for them. How that detective can walk into work every morning knowing she allowed a child to be abused. Taylor is one strong young woman. She had to be. 💔

My daughters half siblings live in that awful county. I’m afraid for them.’

This story was featured on PBS News Hour 3 weeks ago. Here is the video if you're interested in seeing Taylor tell her story:

Taylor Cadle is an intelligent and courageous young woman. Her story is heartbreaking and needs to be told - not only for her but for the millions of children and women who have been silenced by a system that supports sexual assault.

This is a horrific story-just like the Pro Publica story that led to the Netflix series "Unbelievable." BELIEVE girls and women. Trump brags about sexually assaulting women on a routine basis, adjudicated rapist and here we are. https://www.propublica.org/article/false-rape-accusations-an-unbelievable-story

Thanks to @raeoflion.bsky.social for being an incredible co-reporter, and to @journokateh.bsky.social and @idgordon.bsky.social for editing. And of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without Taylor, whose courage and persistence as she’s told her story—many years ago today—have blown me away.

Life affirming young woman and reporting

ONLY MAGA accuses 12 year old girls of lying about being raped!!! we need to blow the lid off that, I'm so sick of this epidemic like it's just an accepted part of life.

I'm sorry... but as a Dad of a daughter, I have to say that the adoptive parent really needs to be 'outed' in prison as a child abuser, since they tend to be introduced to the 'pleasure' of being the recipient of the sexual 'attention' of other inmates.

Let him learn to 'enjoy' the attention !
