You do realize that someone can rape their spouse/partner right? The article does state that they were romantically involved for a year prior to the rape, so ex would be appropriate here.
How are you seriously going to defend a pedophile? He manipulated her into believing she was his girlfriend while she was his child sex slave.
Quit defending pedophiles.
Wtf? No I’m not defending anyone, are you serious? I’m just saying that the fucking newspaper headline is accurate and isn’t disparaging/insensitive to the victim in the situation.
Jesus fucking christ you are primed and ready to fucking go with your outrage. The article didn’t mention anything about the victim being a minor when they met, or about her being groomed. If that’s the case, yeah super fucked up, no shit. I literally opened the article after reading the post I responded to, read it, saw that it said the victim and Epstein were in a consensual relationship, then he raped her a year later.
If I’m missing context blame the article, not me dude.
Sadly your situation is more common than we'd hope on Lemmy.
Even more on common Reddit, but ya, you can't really escape it lol.
Pissing on the poor is lemmy's favourite sport.
