Some protesters are wondering why OWS can’t be a little less rapey….
Occupy Boston: Where’s the Empathy?

I have been sexually assaulted in my life. Moreover, I have a young daughter. I learned retroactively that people within Occupy Boston knew of the presence of a Level 3 sex offender (convicted for raping and abusing 2 different children) at the encampment and did not share that information until after the camp was torn down. My daughter had interactions with this person.

After recent events, where the Occupy Boston community was unwilling to withdraw support from a man who had been violent toward others and who threatened me while I was facilitating a General Assembly - causing me to announce over the microphone that I was not able to maintain the neutral role of facilitator because he had done so - I have no reason to trust that this community is concerned about the physical and emotional well-being of it’s members. They may talk about concern, but they don’t enact care.
