One woman said her friend was at “death’s door” after allegedly being drugged by
#KristinSmart murder defendant Paul Flores at a house party in 1996. It appears nearly 3 dozen women will testify in the case about his alleged predatory history.
I am absolutely disgusted by his long, long history of vile predatory behavior. I'm even more disgusted that he was allowed to get away with it this entire time. I sincerely feel for all of the women he's harmed. The physical pain may be gone, but the emotional toll can be immense and everlasting.
I read each one of those victim statements, and I feel so much like these young women were never told
its not your fault, what you experienced is not okay, what he did was never okay. This shouldn't have happened to you.
Reading how one victim thought she was just
really drunk, before she had any idea that drugging women was PFs modus operandi...She didn't even
know if sexual acts were consensual, likely thinking because she was intoxicated, she may have been at least partly responsible for her own assault. This breaks my heart. How traumatic.
After years of no closure, no justice, no validation, just shame and regret and trauma from the events you've lived through...this leads to questioning your own sanity. Not knowing if it was your fault, if you should report it, if anything will come from it other than reliving all these painful moments in the court of law.
I feel so terrible for these women, thinking it was ever their fault. So enraged that women reported him only for
nothing to ever come of it. What a hopeless feeling. A fast way to lose faith in those who are meant to protect us.
And the boys, the young men! The ones at the parties seeing him do these abhorrent things to their female friends and classmates. WHERE WERE THESE MEN WHEN THEY WERE NEEDED MOST!? PF had a reputation, his nickname was
Psycho Paul for crying out loud.
Why was he even allowed through the door of these parties when people knew he was at the very least, a total creep!?
I do find some solace knowing that he'll never have the opportunity to hurt another woman again. P and F and their enabling matriarch all need to rot in jail for the monster they've enabled to terrorize so many people. moo.
