New Lows in Victim-Blaming
Yeah, sweetie, me, too. WTF, indeed.
So, yeah, a cop pulls over a woman in the wee hours of the morning, gets an erection and ejaculates all over her. She filed a report, had the DNA tested, it was his, he finally admitted it and his attorney, Al Stokke, got him acquitted because, and I quote: “She got what she wanted. She’s an overtly sexual person.”
Because she was a stripper, driving home after work while wearing a sweater, not usually what strippers wear onstage. And granted, I own some damn sexy sweaters, but what the hell? Seriously. This guy is a cop. The people we’re “supposed to” trust to protect us, and you’re telling me it’s perfectly ok for him to jerk off on some woman while writing her a ticket?
But it’s ok, because she’s a stripper.
I hate this so very much. That is exactly why this sexual predator did not get convicted. As the Prosecutor Shaddi Kamiabipour said in her closing argument, “Park didn’t pick a housewife or a 17-year-old girl. He picked a stripper. He picked the perfect victim.”
And sadly, it worked.
Guess what makes sexual predators bolder?
Success.
Congratulations citizens of Orange County, you’ve emboldened a sexual predator. And all because his victim was a stripper, and we all know about them, don’t we?
No, you don’t.
Let me know how this whole exonerating a sexual predator works out for you. I pray for all the women and girls in his jurisdiction. And while I hope this near-miss is enough to get him to straighten up and knock it off, I doubt it. As I said above, nothing emboldens predators like success. He will most likely sexually assault again, and you folks on that jury, when he makes sure his victims can’t testify against him, I hope you remember what the hell you did and that you are to blame for it.
Live with that.

Outstanding. The massive stupidity of this move is terrifying, really.
