    I was 15. He was 22. He bought me take away food, alcohol and cigarettes for my company.

    A decade later, he was my bosses boss. And harassed me at work.

    He came from a wealthy family where he was the golden child, people around town know about his tastes but no one has come forward. His family are in denial.

    Some people are just pure evil.

    Working in academia I’ve had to explain to a lot of girls that older men flirting with them repeatedly isn’t a normal thing and they should 100% report them to the proper channels if they felt uncomfortable. It sucks that even when there’s any amount of support it’s still so poorly communicated.

    I just started running when it happened to me. Charges can’t catch you if you outrun the minor. In hindsight, it was the right move. I would not have communicated anything with any level of coherence in a state of dripping terror

      I’ve read this 3 times and I still don’t understand how these 4 sentences are supposed to work together.

        1. A minor attempted to flirt with them, they literally ran away
        2. You can’t be charged with a crime if you do nothing wrong because you physically ran away and are faster than said minor
        3. Running away was the correct thing to do
        4. They were terrified (and sweaty) to the point where they were not capable of communicating coherently, and thus were not able to inform the minor that healthy adults would not be interested in their advances

        Does that help explain it?

      I froze. I simultaneously was totally uninterested and also had no mental scripts for turning down attention from a girl when I was 19 and just sort of…mentally stalled out, like my brain just stalled out.
