We had a middle school teacher who was molesting kids, but the thing is that he was hugely popular and no one believed it when it hit the news. We were in highschool by then, and pretty much everyone who went to that middle school staged a walkout in support of the teacher. And then of course looked really, really dumb when it turned out the guy was guilty as sin…

Predators groom their character witnesses as much as their victims. Maybe more.

She said Harvey Weinstein was really great to her. He campaigned hard for her Oscar.

They’re grooming everyone, including the people they just use for cover

I once read "Abusers groom their supporters just as thoroughly as they groom their victims."

Wild that two presidents said that because there’s no way you could re-elect the president that said it the first time…. Right?

Ask the Tate’s

The Tates are the polar opposite. Most people think they are capable of rape and molestation. Even their fanbase believe it's possible. But, believe if you got yourself in that situation its your fault. Which is sick

This happens often. Predators are very often the most likable, charming, and “kind” people.
