Thoughts and Prayers: The Religion Thread

False profit.

 

Here's a much more complete, comprehensive story on their post-abuse encounters/interactions.

Robert Morris warned sex abuse accuser she could be prosecuted for seeking compensation, emails show

And the article below includes more details and is a more lengthy account of The Guardian article that was posted above by someone else.

Robert Morris allegedly asked Cindy Clemishire to name price for silence on sex abuse

Robert Morris did wrong. But Cindy Clemishire is a blackmailer. There needs to be an explanation of why she, or her family, never went to the police.

 

I just love how he tried to turn any request for compensation into a threat to charge her with extortion ... without thinking it through to the obvious conclusion that any investigation would reveal that he raped a child repeatedly for years.

 

You can't help yourself, can you? Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

 

For the sake of argument, let's say your boy is a victim of an extortion attempt.
In what decent place is extortion comparable to rape of a child?

Why don't rape victims go to the police?

 

Stop trying to both-sides this.

 

The way I’m reading that, it looks far more like entrapment on Morris’ part than “blackmail.”

He asks her three or four times to “put a price tag on [her silence],” and she repeatedly says it’s not about money. Then, when “pressed” one more time, she throws out the $2 million figure, after which he hangs up immediately and follows up with an email threatening her with prosecution.

What a piece of shit.

 

Tapintoamerica: He's not a boy. He's not my boy. What has been established was sexual assault, not rape, so let's not keep calling it that for effect, and I guess I don't think two wrongs make a right.

oop: I can't help myself providing a full, better story, no, because I'm a journalist and I want to know as much as possible, and am interested. Nothing's wrong with me, and you all know it. I'm not supporting what Morris did. It was wrong. I do believe he did as asked when it came to whatever retribution was asked at the time, and I don't think the family did enough to follow up, given how long and how often and how it seems that the victim has had no trouble at all getting back to her perpetrator, several times, over the years. And yes, I find it strange that she would even want to, if she were so damaged. Makes me think she did/didn't do it because didn't want Morris charged or gotten in trouble. She'd rather have money.

Azrael: You won't, in a million years, convince me that Clemishire and/or her family didn't know, certainly by the time she turned 15, 16 (the age of consent in their state back then) or 17, that what happened to her was sexual assault, at least. Clearly, she knew, and knows, and her parents did, too, and at or nearer the time that it occurred, not 40 years later, too.

MisterCreosote: It's all about the money.

She shouldn't have been assaulted, attacked or victimized at all, but this is a vengeance quest and a money grab, as I've said before.

 

In the link you provided, Morris is the one who brings up money. And does it again and again until she relents and offers an amount. Then he hangs up and immediately emails her threatening prosecution for extortion.

A fucking blind man can see what he was trying to do.

Piece of shit.
