- This is clearly nonsense but even if you take it at face value there is a *huge* difference between having met someone who you didn’t know had done terrible things, and actively seeking a relationship of any kind with someone who was already on the sex offenders register years before you met him
- I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that I either know, have met, or have sought meetings with people who have done horrible things in their lives, too. How about y’all? Association is not causation, and it's not guilt — of anything. (1/8)
- I met - and liked - someone at a conference in the US about 10 years ago who was arrested for beating up his partner 18 months after we first met. I never saw, spoke to or otherwise engaged with him again. It’s not fucking difficult to keep people out of your life
