Well, at least this one wasn't in costume.

I just don't believe this situation is as cut and dry as the article puts it. I think these 2 people knew each other and were vacationing together, but somewhere along the lines their short relationship took a turn for the worst and she played the rape card. I mean come on, she was there on vacation with him and sleeping in the same bed as him in the resort, its not like he broke in and viciously assaulted her in front of her kids, because like others said there would be additional charges if that were the case. I think the whole situation was consentual and then somewhere along the line it got ugly. I don't think she is some helpless victim like the article is making her out to be.

Right. Also it doesn't mention what he was getting in return for letting a stranger use his ID card...but one can imagine what it may have been....

The very fact that he supposedly attempted to rape her, but she was then more than happy to go to Epcot with him the next day, says to me that she is unreliable.

This stinks; having read the police report and the news stories, I think there are 2 things here.

1. BJ was stupid
2. The woman is either very stupid, very greedy or both...

I'm calling shenanigans on this story. At least until we get more details that seem to make sense.

Some people are just asking for it....What a moron.

There's actually 2 call centers: 1 in Tampa and the other in Downtown Orlando. But, irregardless, I'm just as curious about how he figured out what room she was in.

Just wanted to add the second call center is much closer to home that downtown Orlando. Its on Sand Lake Rd. and International Dr. close to Universal of all places. :wave:

It's typical victim blaming, no wonder so few rape victims come forward.

THIS.

The victim blaming in this thread is absolutely revolting. A real low point for these forums.

"Please come into my hotel room. I'm going to leave you, a stranger, right here in my room with my children, while I fall asleep."

I'm sorry, but if what the police is saying really happened, then this woman needs her parental rights stripped immediately.

The guy should go to jail for a long time, what he did was wrong *if* what she is saying is accurate, but she should be held accountable for leaving a strange man in her hotel room with her children while she went off to sleep. That's reckless, awful behavior and an unfit parent.

And let's not even get into the stupidity that, after this supposedly happened, she got up the next morning, let him in her room again, and they all skipped along to Epcot so she could take more advantage of what he was offering (free admission to the parks).

"Victim blaming" is such a loaded term, just because something bad happens to someone does not absolve them of all responsibility in life. Actually, using a term like that in this situation just erodes real victims (i.e. those that are just walking down the street and violated) and not someone who already has awful judgment to begin with. Did she deserve to be raped, if that is indeed what happened? OF COURSE NOT, but she is also very, VERY lucky it wasn't worse - that her children were not harmed in the same way, or worse.

Instead of making a self-aggrandizing post about it, perhaps you should use the report button or a private message if you feel the need to tell a moderator how to do their job.

she has already warned posters on this thread, wouldn't she be monitoring this thread?

During my last visit to the world in January I was asking a tall beautiful female CM for directions and she got really close to me and brushed her breast up against me as she pointed me towards my destination.:sohappy:
I'm afraid that if I tell Disney about it they will make the CM's stop doing this. We're already missing out on so much of the great customer service as it is. I'm not taking any chances, I'm keeping this to myself, and all of you of course.:animwink:

I am forced to agree with you .:ROFLOL:
I have NO problem with beautiful , friendly CM's. let's not discriminate against them:ROFLOL:

I think my husband was hoping for some "directions" from tinkerbell

On a serious note, Rape is never justified, ever! But nor is "crying" rape, and I'm sorry but "meeting" with your rapist the next day to have a "fun" day out does not bode well for this case.

"It's typical victim blaming, no wonder so few rape victims come forward."

So because of the alleged act, somehow we shouldn't take the woman to task for allowing a stranger into her hotel room with her children and falling asleep, leaving him there unsupervised with her kids?

There are two different things here, you are oversimplifying. Take what the man allegedly did out of the equation - do you think a fit parent allows a complete stranger into their hotel room, *with her children*, and falls asleep leaving him alone *with her children*?

She may not be at fault for the alleged act committed against her, but she put her children in a dangerous situation. Unfortunately, some people cannot see this distinction and are so myopic on the topic they can't see the shades in-between "blaming" a victim for an act and analyzing the stupidity that led to the situation in the first place.
