Be aware of your surroundings at all times. These COWARDS come from behind.

It's messed up how long the backlog of rape test kits are.

I knew it was him the whole time.

What’s the difference with this SA case 7+ years ago being qualified for prosecution, and Diddy’s DV/SA clip on Cassie that was almost 8+ years ago that LA allegedly “can’t do anything about”??

[@betsyjohnson9777]

She got her "pay off! $$$$$ hush$$$$$ shhh

[@RivetingJess]

The statute of limitations is different for sexual assault than it is for domestic violence. The video clip with Cassie only showed DV and it is outside the SoL for DV. It still remains to be seen whether he will be brought up on SA and similar charges, as he is still being investigated.

[@alexannaz]

Two different states. Each state has it's own statute of limitations for various crimes.

@@betsyjohnson9777 I'm sure Diddy has paid off many men and women to keep their mouths shut during his career. At this point, it doesn't matter if she was paid off or not. The FBI raided his house. Cassie is not the one calling the shots going forward.

For such a man is no hope.

[@JaymeSplendid]

OMG!! I KNOW THAT GUY!! We knew him on the street as "Sexual Deviant David" I can't believe he would do something like this. So out of his character...

[@betsyjohnson9777]

Maybe he has a personality disorder also...

[@BillyNewton-b5t]

[@UniversalCivilianStrategies]

Besides the K9 and drone , what technology/ intel was used to find the Florida Autistic man threatening suicide ?

[@larrylatham7215]

He’s Innocent

[@Rufustfirefly2112]
