Lesbian Sex Crime: Florida Dance Teacher Guilty of Molesting ‘Hot’ 15-Year-Old Girl

Posted on | April 5, 2014 | 32 Comments

Dance teacher Nichol Marie Phelps molested 15-year-old girl.

“Why are you so hot?”

That’s what dance instructor Nichol Marie Phelps asked her 15-year-old student in March 2012, immediately before pinning the girl against a wall and kissing her. The next day, Phelps sexually molested the girl inside a car in the parking garage of a hotel at the Orlando airport.

Last week, a jury in Orange County, Florida, found Phelps, now 30, guilty of two counts of lewd and lascivious battery and one count of attempted lewd and lascivious conduct for her crimes against the girl, who was a student at Universal Dance Academy in Port Charlotte, where Phelps was an instructor. Phelps was married at the time, but said she would leave her husband to be with the underage girl.

A performance by the Universal Dance Academy team.

Jeff Weiner of the Orlando Sentinel reports:

According to an investigative report, Nichol Marie Phelps, now 30, cultivated an increasingly sexual relationship with her pupil in the months before molesting the girl in March 2012.
The girl told detectives she began attending Universal Dance Academy in Port Charlotte at age 13. Phelps quickly “took a liking to her and always singled her out,” the report states.
The victim left the academy, but continued to communicate with Phelps. Investigators discovered more than 550 phone contacts from January through June of 2012, the report says.
The girl said Phelps told her she was “hot” and discussed performing sex acts on her, and Phelps also mentioned leaving her husband to be with the teen, the report states.
The molestation occurred during a dance convention in Orlando. Phelps was crying in a bathroom after arguing with a parent and the girl attempted to console her:
Phelps “looked at her and asked why she was so hot and why did she have such strong feelings for her,” the report states, before pinning the girl to the wall and kissing her.
The next day, while loading Phelps’ car inside the Hyatt garage at Orlando International Airport, the instructor ordered the girl into the back seat and molested her, the report says.
Phelps was fired by the dance academy in June 2012 . . . after an “emotional outburst” during a recital.

Isn’t there something weird about this story? Does it make sense that a married 28-year-old woman who had never previously shown any homosexual tendencies would find herself overwhelmed by an obsessive sexual desire for a 15-year-old girl? Sudden Onset Lesbian Syndrome?

Perhaps psychologists can cite clinical studies of this phenomenon, but anecdotal evidence suggests a growing trend:

  • Texas teacher Amanda Feenstra pleaded guilty in March to having sex with a 17-year-old girl.
  • Kelly O’Rourke, 42, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in October 2013 for having sex with a 16-year-old girl.
  • Andrea Michelle Cardosa, 40, was charged with 16 felony counts in February after two former female students accused her of sexually molesting them. One accuser said Cardosa started having sex with her when she was only 12.
  • Nicole Wooten was arrested in February 2013 on charges that she had sex with a girl in 2005 and 2006, when the victim was a 12-year-old eighth-grader.
  • New Jersey swimming coach Sarah Blessing pleaded guilty in 2010 to having sex with a 17-year-old Catholic school girl.
  • Linda Wallace was sentenced to prison in September after pleading guilty to having had a four-year sexual affair with a female student that began when the girl was 13.
  • Kelly Ann Garcia, 29, was arrested last June after police say she had sex with a 16-year-old girl.
  • Tonya Drueppel was arrested in January on charges that she had sex with a middle-school girl beginning in October 2012, when the victim was 13.
  • Florida high school basketball coach Jaymee Wallace was sentenced to three years in prison in 2007 for having a lesbian affair with a girl that began when the victim was 14.

The difference between these cases and the Nichol Phelps case is that these lesbians had “consensual” teen partners, whereas Phelps had to force herself on the “hot” 15-year-old dancer. How long until saying “no” to gay sex is considered a hate crime?

#RapeCulture: Fourth Boy Says Teacher Told Him: ‘This Stays Between Us’

Posted on | April 5, 2014 | 40 Comments

Meredith Powell: Teacher accused of sex with teen boys.

Amid all the feminist “rape culture” lectures about sex on college campuses, I keep noticing stories about women who can’t seem to be happy unless they’ve got a high school boy’s penis in their mouth:

A former Tacoma high school math teacher charged with child rape faces new charges after another student came forward to police. Meredith Powell, 24, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for arraignment on a charge of sexual misconduct with a minor. Powell pleaded not guilty to two counts of third-degree child rape and one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes Feb. 7 after her arrest by Tacoma police. The allegations involve three male students at Lincoln High School. Powell was released without bail pending trial. According to amended information filed in Pierce County superior court on Thursday, a student identified as A.D. met with Tacoma police detectives on March 25 and told them he had a sexual encounter with Powell in her classroom at Lincoln High in early January 2013 when he was 17 years old.

After she pleaded not guilty to charges made by three previous accusers, the news coverage led another accuser to come forward. And you know it’s a great story when the link to the prosecution affidavit carries a warning for GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT:

A.D.’s mother reported to police that A.D. disclosed he was touched by the defendant. On March 25, 2014, a detective met with A.D. who reported the following: The defendant was his math teacher during his junior year (2012-2013). In 2013, A.D. sought help from the defendant in raising his math grade. She gave him extra math problems in her classroom after school. On one occasion, the defendant sat at her desk while A.D. sat on the corner of the desk. He told her he needed help getting his grade up and she asked what he would want to do. A.D. said he would do anything. The defendant asked, “You’ll do anything?” and reached over and unzipped his pants. She touched his penis (he made a motion with his hand moving back and forth). A.D. described ejaculating. The defendant told him, “This stays between us.”

Nothing more exciting than a court affidavit description of sex, eh? Let’s enjoy some more of Pierce County deputy prosecuting attorney Heather DeMaine’s erotic prose stylings:

On February 6, 2014, detective interviewed the victims. M.R. disclosed the following: The day of the MLK assembly, M.R. went to the defendant’s classroom. They kissed, he touched her breasts, and she touched his chest under his shirt. M.R. then digitally penetrated her vagina. On the day of the assembly, M.R. sent her a text asking if she wanted to stay behind and she agreed to. During his interview, L.H. disclosed the following: The defendant is his teacher. They sent texts to each other and she sent him pictures of her naked in a bathtub. L.H. and the defendant kissed a few days after the MLK Day assembly when he went to her classroom and the door was locked. The defendant kissed L.H. and he touched her buttocks and breasts. The defendant touched L.H.’s chest under his shirt and performed oral sex on him. L.H. digitally penetrated the defendant.

 Allegedly, I hasten to add, because Meredith Powell has pleaded not guilty, and the defendant is presumed innocent until . . . Oh, wait. What’s this in the affidavit?

Detectives re-contacted the defendant and advised of her Miranda rights which she waived. . . .

Let me interrupt here. We’ll get back to the sexy stuff in a minute, but it’s important to note that Meredith Powell was advised she had the right to remain silent and to have her attorney present during questioning, yet she chose to waive those rights. Why? If you’ve seen enough shows like C*O*P*S and The First 48, you know some suspects get the idea that all they have to do is explain away the evidence — come up for an excuse for that bag of weed in the car, or their fingerprints at a murder scene — and they’ll walk. This only serves to demonstrate how stupid most criminals are. If you’re guilty, no explanation is going to help you. Just shut up and lawyer up. And now, back to the Meredith Powell interrogation:

She admitted the following: She preformed oral sex on L.H. and her classroom door was possibly locked. He put his mouth on her breast and digitally penetrated her vagina. She told him to stop. She sent him a snapchat pictures. She thought they were of her in the bathtub and one of her in bed in the dark. The defendant admitted M.R. put his mouth on her breast and digitally penetrated her vagina. They began texting after New Year’s Eve and it became inappropriate. She touched M.R.’s penis over his clothes and he put his finger into her vagina. She knew her actions were wrong as both L.H. and M.R. When asked what she would say to the students’ parents, she said she would apologize.

Hey, “she said she would apologize,” so that makes it all right, I guess. There’s zero chance Meredith Powell will beat this rap, especially now that yet another accuser has come forward. My advice to Powell is, whatever plea deal the prosecutors offer, take it.

Of course, Meredith Powell isn’t the only (allegedly) perverted teacher who craved the taste of boy flesh. Recently in the news:

  • An attorney for one of four teenage boys allegedly molested by English teacher Lauren Harrington-Cooper, 31, has indicated the boy is planning to sue the Pennsylvania school district. “The multitude of charges against Harrington-Cooper involves incidents of sexual intercourse and several episodes of oral sex. The four teens ranged in age between 16 and 18 at the time of the encounters.”
  • Police in Alabama say substitute teacher Kristina Kelly, 41, had sex with at least three boys at a middle school in Mobile. Kelly has been charged with eight counts including rape, sodomy, sex abuse, and sexual contact with a child under the age of 19. The mother of one 15-year-old said most of the victims are 14 or 15 years old.
  • On Thursday, an Indiana judge rejected a plea bargain for Shannon J. Woodson, 39, who was prepared to plead guilty to having sex with a 17-year-old student in her special education class. The judge instead scheduled a jury trial for June 11.
  • North Carolina authorities investigating felony sex charges against Brittany Phillips, 25, say the teenage victim provided them with cellphone video of the Lexington High School teacher performing oral sex on him. The student told police that his first sexual encounter with Phillips occurred in a school closet, and that they subsequently had sex twice at her apartment.
  • Texas high school counselor Ellen Wermeling, 32, was charged Wednesday with having sex on multiple occasions with a boy who was a senior at MacArthur High School in Houston. The first occasion was Feb. 28 when, the student told police, Wermeling picked him up and took her to her apartment: “They removed each other’s clothes and began having sexual intercourse and oral sex.” The student said he and Wermeling also had sex at her apartment on March 6 and March 8.

You can understand why feminist bloggers don’t pay much attention to these stories: “Women are being oppressed by the patriarchy! Now, excuse me while I suck this teenage boy’s penis . . .”

Kind of disrupts the victimhood narrative, you see.

NRSC Uses Left-Wing Race Attack Against GOP Senate Challenger Chris McDaniel

Posted on | April 5, 2014 | 97 Comments

You know the Republican Establishment is getting desperate when they stoop to cheap guilt-by-association smears in a GOP primary.

That’s National Republican Senatorial Committee “strategist” Brad Dayspring tweeting out a story from (wait for it) Talking Points Memo that is one of the flimsiest guilt-by-association attacks in the history of flimsy guilt-by-association attacks. A moment’s scrutiny of that story is sufficient to glean the relevant facts: Some grassroots folks in Mississippi scheduled a “Firearms Freedom Day” rally for May 17.

You may ask: “How grassroots is it?”

The flyer for the event is printed in Comic Sans.

Go read the flyer and you will see that, listed among the various Tea Party groups, pro-gun organizations, state senators and country music  singers, is “Pace Conferederate Depot.” This is a vendor of such merchandise as Confederate flag T-shirts and bumper stickers whose proprietor, Brian Pace, also happens to be some kind of segregationist. Because the flyer also listed Tea Party-backed Senate challenger Chris McDaniel as the “keynote speaker” for the rally, this tidbit of information about Pace was highlighted by a Republican blog associated with incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran. That was immediately picked up by Talking Points Memo, which played it as Another Scary Republican Racism Scandal. Once you get past the breathless liberal hype — “ZOMG! Confederates! In Mississippi!” — you realize there’s nothing to the story. Somebody asked McDaniel to speak at a gun-rights rally, as one of his supporters, state Sen. Melanie Sojourner, told TPM:

“There were several Second Amendment groups that were planning different events and we’re both very strong Second Amendment supporters and so there were several events that were planned and it was basically just kind of the discussion was ‘well when you get some things done and scheduled let us know’ but there was never any confirmation on exact events or what was happening.”

Organizers of the rally issued a statement on Facebook saying, “When a vendor asks to set up and sell lawful merchandise at one of our events, we don’t run a background check into their personal lives. That’s not our business.” The attempt to turn this into a scandal is like saying that if a candidate campaigns at a county fair, he thereby endorses every rip-off carnival game at the fair.

But this is what’s being promoted on Twitter by an official of the National Republican Senatorial Committee as part of the GOP establishment’s desperate effort to rescue Thad Cochran, who is 76 years old and has been in office since Jimmy Carter was president. With just eight weeks to go until the June 3 primary, Chris McDaniel’s campaign is surging:

Tea Party’s McDaniel Boosted
by Polls in Miss. Senate Race

Levin: “McDaniel is a great guy, a great candidate.”

Tea party momentum builds around McDaniel
in Mississippi GOP Senate primary

Three Polls, Three Days: McDaniel Leads
Cochran Among Republicans, Conservatives

Chris McDaniel has been endorsed by Mark Levin, Sarah Palin, Citizens United, Club for Growth, FreedomWorks, the Madison Project, Tea Party Express and many more leading individuals and organizations of the conservative grassroots: Central Mississippi Tea Party, Gulf Coast Tea Party, Hattiesburg Tea Party, Leflore/Carroll Tea Party, Meridian Tea Party, South Mississippi Tea Party, The Mississippi Tea Party, Tupelo Tea Party and Vicksburg Tea Party. McDaniel also has endorsements from state Sen. Angela Hill, state Sen. Billy Hudson, state Sen. Chris Massey, state Sen. David Parker, state Sen. Michael Watson, state Sen. Philip Gandy, and state Sen. Tony Smith.

What all those endorsements represent, in total, is the effective infrastructure of a winning campaign. Chris McDaniel has the on-the-ground resources necessary to win this primary — and the GOP Establishment knows it. That’s why you see the NRSC forced to play the race card, pushing a left-wing smear against a young Republican leader, in a desperate attempt to halt McDaniel’s insurgent momentum.

Are you going to let them get away with this? Or are you going to fight back? I say, war to the knife, knife to the hilt.

CHRIS McDANIEL for U.S. SENATE
It’s Time for a Change

Trolls Are Bad People

Posted on | April 5, 2014 | 104 Comments

Spend enough time in online New Media and eventually you discover that people who do bad things on the Internet are also usually bad people in real life, too. One of the predictable habits of bad people on the Internet is the use of multiple fake “sockpuppet” accounts to attack their enemies. Neal Rauhauser’s “Gaped Crusader” harassment against Patterico was a classic example of this pattern.

When you see a troll behaving that way online, it’s safe to assume that the troll is a wretched excuse for a human being. Confirmation of this is a long, long post Bullyville put up about Tom Retzlaff of San Antonio, Texas. Retzlaff is such a slimy creepazoid I’m astonished that Texas ever let him out of prison.

After he got out of prison, Retzlaff lied on his application to the MBA program at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), falsely claiming to be a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

When Retzlaff’s dishonesty was exposed (evidently as a result of his harassment of a Chinese foreign exchange student at UTSA), Retzlaff then sued various university employees for defamation. But somehow, despite being a convicted felon, Retzlaff lied his way into a job as a private investigator for a law firm. He got fired from that job in 2012 and then sued the law firm.  Retzlaff has tried unsuccessfully to get his criminal record expunged, but that was before he made the mistake of going to war against Bullyville.

And now you can go to TomRetzlaff.com and see all the gory details.

Pay special attention to the divorce records. Real ugly stuff there.

Advice to trolls: You don’t want to mess with Bullyville.

Whatever Happened to ‘Crazy’?

Posted on | April 4, 2014 | 24 Comments

Headline at American Power:

Fort Hood Shooter Was Being Treated for Depression

The Associated Press reports:

Unstable mental health may be a “fundamental, underlying cause” of a soldier’s shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left four people dead, though an argument with another service member likely preceded the attack, according to investigators.
Spc. Ivan Lopez turned his gun on himself after killing three people and wounding 16 others Wednesday at the sprawling Texas military base, where more than a dozen people were fatally shot by a soldier in 2009. An Army truck driver from Puerto Rico, Lopez was undergoing treatment for depression and anxiety while being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, base officials said.

(Hat-tip: Regular Right Guy.)

We have become so sensitive about mental illness that we are afraid to call crazy by its right name. Since no one else will do it, therefore, let me be the first to say that Ivan Lopez was crazy, bonkers, deranged, off his rocker and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Being the Internet’s Leading Amateur Expert in Crazy, I’ve sometimes been accused of insensitivity toward nutjobs and wackos.

Sympathy for the demented has become so widespread that people nowadays write books  about how crazy they are, hoping to win some kind of Victimhood Derby Prize, like the lesbian professor who wrote a book about her borderline personality disorder. Being an affirmative action “twofer” — both female and homosexual — wasn’t enough for her, you see. Now she’s also disabled, so that if she goes off the deep end and starts having lesbian S & M orgies in the classroom as part of her Women’s Studies lectures, the university wouldn’t dare fire her, for fear of a civil-rights lawsuit.

Don’t laugh. Hugo Schwyzer nearly got away with that trick.

Using mental illness to play the Victimhood Card is becoming routine. Last year, when it was revealed that notorious Twitter troll Melissa Brewer (@catsrimportant) was a convicted prostitute, she immediately claimed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as an excuse. Because being a crazy whore is somehow better than being a sane whore.

So now we have the media telling us that Ivan Lopez was “undergoing treatment for depression and anxiety,” as if shooting 19 people before committing suicide wasn’t a big enough clue that his mental health was “unstable.” Gee, ya think so?

As I said four years ago, after Pentagon shooter Patrick Bedell was shot by police, “Whatever Happened to Crazy?”

Geek Girls To Feminists: Don’t Jack Up Our Target-Rich Environment

Posted on | April 4, 2014 | 28 Comments

by Smitty

Is it National Offend a Feminist Week yet? Dr. Layla has got me on my knees, laughing at the notion that women shun Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors due to “concern that their ‘geeky’ male classmates will present poor social prospects“. Other major concerns listed were:

  • boring
  • they wouldn’t be any good at it.

To be sure: one should do things one finds interesting. But if you only did things you were good at, how would a feminist get past the teenage harpy stage?

When I did my engineering degree, the choice was driven my maximizing learning. All of the math and science would be kind of folded in, I rationalized, and therefore I pursued a major in control systems engineering. In middle age, the chief result of all this is that I can tell our government is running without proper stabilizing feedback, like a truck going down a hill without breaks. But I have a really bitchen piece of paper to back up my assertion, so, there.

I actually don’t know any geek girls, other than this blog’s old admin lady. Who was cool, but our traffic outgrew her patience rapidly. Or maybe it was Stacy’s dull, sonorous tones when expressing concern over technical issues. In any case, why would women in STEM majors want competition?

Challenge to feminists: just found an all-female engineering school. It turns out that there is a high school program to start women off in engineering in the back yard of Republican #WarOnWomen Generalissimo, Governor Scott Walker. Who knew? You can build that up into a full-on college, feminists.

However, moving yourselves from the “griping column” to the “doing column” is going to require new Applied Victimization research to find fresh blame targets. So, that’s an issue.

‘Highly Intoxicated Vaginal Penetration’: #RapeCulture and Campus Reality

Posted on | April 4, 2014 | 166 Comments

“Both sides agreed that Mr. Gilbert and the victim were at best acquaintances; both sides agreed he entered her room uninvited that night, in a highly intoxicated state, and both sides agreed that he initiated sexual contact which included vaginal penetration with the victim while she was asleep.”
— “Joint Statement,” New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (NHCADSV) and WISE (Women’s Information Services), March 27

The use of the word “victim” in that statement is rather problematic, considering that the statement was issued after Dartmouth College student Parker Gilbert was acquitted on all charges:

The foreman of the jury that found Parker C. Gilbert not guilty of sexually assaulting a Dartmouth College classmate said jurors were not swayed by the accuser’s account, which they found implausible.
Rick Rogers, of Enfield, was one of 12 jurors — six men and six women — who found Gilbert not guilty of five counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault and a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge on Thursday. Deliberations lasted about four hours.
“(The woman’s) story of how the night played out, the evidence wasn’t there to support that,” Rogers said in a phone interview Thursday evening. “To the contrary, it was more in Parker’s favor. Her statement in the morning (to a friend) — that Parker stopped by and we had sex — is just not the answer that a rape victim would have.”
The prosecution had alleged Gilbert entered the woman’s unlocked dorm room in the early hours of May 2 and began having sex with her while she was asleep. The defense argued that the sexual encounter was consensual, “clumsy, awkward, drunk college sex.”
Rogers said there were many pieces of the accuser’s story that the jury thought pointed to consensual sex, including that the next morning when she told a friend about the encounter, she didn’t characterize it as an assault. . . .
Rogers said other evidence also swayed the jury, including the testimony of Nancy Wu, the suitemate who said that she was awake and heard sounds consistent with consensual sex.
Rogers described Wu as the most credible witness. . . .
A number of the witnesses had been drinking heavily on the night in question.

The accuser was drunk, the accused was drunk, and the witnesses were drunk — evidently everybody on campus at Dartmouth was completely hammered that night, and the only thing anyone can remember for sure is that “vaginal penetration” occurred.

Permit me to digress: Can someone get a trial transcript and provide me with verbatim quotes of Nancy Wu’s testimony? Because I’m curious to know what she says she heard, which the newspaper euphemistically describes as “sounds consistent with consensual sex.” Was the alleged victim moaning passionately, as if in a state of orgasmic ecstasy? “Oh, Parker! You sexy beast! Do me, baby!” But I digress . . .

K.C. Johnson at Minding the Campus calls attention to the Gilbert verdict and the bizarre reaction to his acquittal:

How did the activists at Dartmouth respond? With a lengthy statement (still labeling the accuser as a “victim”) denouncing the jury, demanding a “cultural shift” in what could be considered a crime. . . .
If Gilbert had been convicted, the message would have been a need to address “rape culture” at Dartmouth. With Gilbert acquitted, the message was a need to address “rape culture” at Dartmouth (and in New Hampshire!). Facts, it appears, don’t matter.

More importantly, I would argue, we don’t know what the facts are. All we know is (a) drunkenness and (b) “vaginal penetration,” and everything else is a matter of “he-said/she-said” testimony by the alleged victim and witnesses. None of the witnesses actually saw the carnal act, and only one claims to have heard “sounds consistent with consensual sex,” whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.

We don’t know what we don’t know, and yet the “rape culture” activists at Dartmouth insist that certainty of Parker Gilbert’s guilt is indisputable, that any skepticism or concerns for the due process rights of the accused is tantamount to “blaming the victim.”

Do I know what happened? No, absolutely I do not know.

For all I know, Parker Gilbert is a psychopathic pervert notorious for his habit of playing “booty bandit” with sleeping coeds.

On the other hand, for all I know, Parker Gilbert may be a highly popular collegiate studmuffin, and the alleged victim may have been gleefully riding him in reverse-cowgirl position, thrilled to have the opportunity for “vaginal penetration” by his throbbing manhood.

Despite my avowed ignorance — I believe the facts of the case are ultimately unknowable, under such circumstances — my hunch is that the truth is somewhere between the two extremes. The alleged victim was likely not an enthusiastic participant in the act of “vaginal penetration,” but the subsequent accusation of rape was a misguided attempt to place criminal responsibility onto Parker Gilbert for the “clumsy, awkward, drunk college sex” that resulted.

The jury, presented with all the available evidence and testimony in the case, declared Parker Gilbert not guilty of any crime. That does not mean, however, that his actions were morally right. Nor does it mean his accuser is to blame for the “vaginal penetration.”

Whereas I see this situation skeptically, with the understanding that some things are unknowable, Dartmouth College seems to be acting as if Parker Gilbert was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt:

Amanda Childress, Sexual Assault Awareness Program coordinator at Dartmouth College, campus policies aren’t going far enough to protect students.
“Why could we not expel a student based on an allegation?” Childress asked at the panel, before noting that while 2 to 8 percent of accusations are unfounded (but not necessarily intentionally false), 90 to 95 percent are unreported, committed by repeat offenders, and intentional. “It seems to me that we value fair and equitable processes more than we value the safety of our students. And higher education is not a right. Safety is a right. Higher education is a privilege.”
“If we know that a person is reasonably a threat to our community,” Childress said, “why are we not removing them and protecting the safety of our students?”

WHOA! Did you catch that? First, Childress is in favor of expelling students “based on an allegation,” because “higher education is not a right.” (The latter claim would shock advocates of affirmative action, I’m sure.) But notice, also, that Childress justifies this attitude by grabbing some statistics out of thin air to claim “90 to 95 percent [of sexual assaults on campus] are unreported, committed by repeat offenders, and intentional.” In other words, according to Childress, serial rapists are prowling our nation’s college campuses, and for every rape that is reported, at least nine others go unreported.

Does that claim seem even remotely possible? Could it be that, in this day and age, at institutions of higher education that attract our most intelligent young people, an environment exists where 90 to 95 percent of sexual assaults — intentional acts, committed by repeat offenders — are never reported to authorities at all?

Childress made those bizarre claims in February, just a few days after Dartmouth College had promoted her to director of “the newly-created Center for Community Action and Prevention, which Childress said would ‘be the focal point on campus for Dartmouth’s sexual assault and violence prevention initiatives’ and ‘drive the College’s mobilization efforts around preventing sexual violence and increasing the safety and well-being of all members of our community.'”

Except for “members of our community” who have penises.

The “well-being” of male students falsely accused of rape is of no concern to Amanda Childress or her notorious comrade Kate Burke, chairwoman of Dartmouth’s Committee on Standards.

There is no justice at Dartmouth, and there will be no peace.

#RapeCulture: Did Anybody Notice This?

Posted on | April 4, 2014 | 72 Comments

Donald Douglas has mentioned how radical feminist Professor Caroline Heldman is stoking “rape culture” paranoia at Occidental College. Meanwhile, the violent oppression of women continues:

A Lynwood gang member was sentenced Monday, March 31, to 30 years in federal prison for running a sex-trafficking ring that recruited girls from Inland high schools.
Paul Edward Bell, 30, pleaded guilty in January to federal sex-trafficking charges. Federal authorities said he kept seven teenage girls captive after luring them into prostitution.
Bell used other prostitutes to recruit girls between the ages of 15 and 17 from high schools in Riverside and Moreno Valley, authorities said. . . .
The girls worked as prostitutes in the Compton area and lived in motels off Long Beach Boulevard. If they didn’t perform or deliver as much money as was expected, they were verbally and physically abused, prosecutors have said.
Bell held a gun to one girl’s head and locked two girls inside his apartment, prosecutors wrote in a brief recommending Bell receive the maximum sentence. He would hit the girls with his fists, a cane and a shoe. He also pepper sprayed one girl in the face, prosecutors wrote. . . .
The lead prostitute, Kimberly Alberti, 20, of Riverside, promised the girls lavish lifestyles with money and clothing for working for a pimp, according to a plea agreement that led to a two-year federal prison sentence.
Alberti and two other prostitutes — Kristy Harrell, 22, of Riverside, and Javiya Brooks, 21, of Lynwood — have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and racketeering.
Samuel Rogers, 23, and Gary Rogers, 25, both of Moreno Valley, and Christopher Weldon 24, of Compton, previously pleaded guilty to sex-trafficking charges. Su Yan, 31, a Chinese national in Rosemead, pleaded guilty to interstate transportation in the aid of racketeering.

Girls as young as 15 were being pimped out, beaten and threatened with death, right there in Southern California, within driving distance of Occidental College. But it’s so much easier for feminist academics like Caroline Heldman to gin up campus “rape culture” hysteria — in some cases, counting dirty text messages as “sexual assault” for the sake of statistical exaggeration — than for them to pay attention to teenage girls suffering  this kind of horrific violence.

Occidental College has something in common with pimps like Paul Edward Bell: They both recruit naïve girls from high schools. Parents should warn their daughters about pimps and liberal arts colleges.
