We're the Only Ones Trying to Ram Things Down Your Throat Enough

On or about March 23, 2007, in the Southern District of Texas, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, defendant SAMUEL B. KENT did knowingly attempt to causeanother person to engage in a sexual act by using force against that other person, to wit: defendant KENT, at the United States Post Office and Courthouse in Galveston, Texas, attempted to cause Person A to engage in contact between Person A's mouth and defendant KENT's penis by forcing Person A's head towards defendant KENT's groin area.

Gosh, first Mulder and now this. If we can't believe in leading men and "Only Ones," who can we have faith in?

In fairness, I hesitated posting and commenting on this one--nothing has been proven, and it's not like workplace and relationship vendettas don't exist. I also have a problem shielding the identity of accusers unless extreme special circumstances are present.

I guess the reason I'm skeptical is because I just don't know what kind of adult would submit to something outrageous like this without going into full on-the-spot-create-a-scene mode. Inappropriate comments should always be immediately put down with unmistakable seriousness. Unwelcome physical contact warrants a physical response, or at the very least, an attempt to escape screaming followed by an immediate police report.

I just can't imagine trading in your dignity for something as temporary a job.

Still, if true, it's understandable why some judges would want guns not used for protecting them prohibited in their courthouses. Because if that abuse was ever tried on some of the women I admire, Person A would be forcing something hard into the defendant's mouth.
