Who said the criminal justice system is fair.

 RantWoman, WHY do you need to go off about this story? And WHY do you need to do it now while you are also aiming to sound sane and centered about climate change, cap and trade, the transportation budget, and measures to cut back on pollution in the places it historically gets concentrated?

Furthermore, just because the story is punching about 17 of your hot buttons, why do you think other people will necessarily be able to identify all the hot buttons that might be getting pushed? 

And how many conversations about responsible organizational behavior need you to filter the hot buttons to make constructive contributions???

The story linked below came up on RantWoman's smart blind people Zoom call. Discussion on the call was minimal or had mostly happened before RantWoman joined the call. Also, RantWoman is a grownup. She did not HAVE to look. But it's the 20th anniversary month of one of RantWoman's great moments in coffee hour pastoral care. And RantWoman needs either distraction or reaffirmation, she is not sure which. There are a couple deeply disturbing moments in the article. Some readers will probably get enough out of what comes up for RantWoman without reading the article if that seems prudent.

OK rapist avoids prison due to legal blindness

The case involved a legally blind cook at a church camp, a 13-yearold girl.. The perpetrator was sentenced to two years of home monitoring and treatment and he was required to register as a registered sex offender. The perpetrator did not get sent to prison because of his blindness.

RantWoman wants to know:

--On the church camp side, does the church camp screen all employees? Since the incident described here is nominally the perpetrator's first offense. would screening matter?

--Do children who come to camp get information about resisting unwanted sexual demands?

--Did the church camp get sued and if so, the outcome.

For the child:

--Does the child also have any kind of disability or other personal factor that makes them more vulnerable to sexual assault? 

As to the legally blind rapist:

--Is this his only offense or the only one he has been caught for?

--Does his lawyer know how to make sure his client gets any training materials in a format accessible for him?

RantWoman would be interested to know a whole bunch of other  things about this case but is probably not even going to try to chase down everything she is curious about.

And how is your #pandemic going?
