It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, which attracts an estimated 100,000 worshipers weekly, has confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” more than 35 years ago while he was a young pastor after a woman accused him of sexually abusing her over multiple years beginning when she was 12.

His lawyer blames the 12 year old because she was flirtatious. A 12 year old.

I mean, sure, I've known a lot of flirtat... You know what, actually no, I haven't. Fucking creep.

I’m sure there are flirtatious 12 year olds, actually. You know what an adult should never do in response to a 12 year old’s flirting? What this guy did or anything at all.

Of course, I don’t believe for a second that she flirted with him. It’s classic victim blaming and any jury hearing it should assume he’s guilty.

This is actually a very big point of the novel Lolita.

People who think it's a pro-pedophilia work are telling on themselves. The novel explores the mindset of a predator more than anything else, a child being childish is "flirting" to them, not just a kid doing innocent things they, at best, don't understand. They say these abhorrent things because they, in fact, believe it themselves, must believe it themselves.
