      He lead me to a bed in the back on the bus and closed the door. He put on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I decided to watch a few minutes and at least have a weird story to tell my boyfriend later. Yes, 17 year olds can be naïve. This is why older men target teenage girls. /8

      He started rubbing my neck. At this point, I fell silent. He talked about the film, Johnny Depp, and Hunter S. Thompson while he started taking his pants off. All I could do was sit there, looking at the movie, unable to move. /9

      I froze so he had to move my body into a missionary position. He pulled off my cargo pants. He forced himself in- there was no attempt at "warming up". I mention this because this wasn't about sex. This was about raping me as fast as he could. /10

      He penetrated my vagina without a condom, moving rapidly, while I lay there frozen in a stunned silence. If I sound clinical it's because it has been a long time and I have tried to push down any sort of fear or shame that comes with a rape. /11

      There was no consent made. I was not high. I was clean. He did not seduce me, he forced me, quickly taking advantage of my paralyzed state. It took me years to process his actions. He came all over my torso and didn’t wipe me off. There were stains on my tank top when I left. /12

      I don’t remember the next few minutes but I do remember this- my boyfriend was waiting for me at the doorway where I had been lead. His face was sick with worry. I didn’t want to upset him so I kept it to myself. /13

      I’m sure to some this doesn’t sound like rape. I’m telling this story because in the year 2000 the conversation about consent was non-existent, at least not at my high school. Statutory rape in this state is 16 and under. Lucky for him he beat it by 1 year. /14

      It has been 18 years and I’m still working through the trauma of that assault. #MeToo and #TimesUp has been an eye opener. I hope that everyone gets a chance to heal. I hope I can heal. Maybe telling your story is part of the healing process for victims of sexual assault. /15

      I kept it in for years because I knew I wasn't going to be believed by he legion of dedicated fans. Because he chose to not use a condom when he raped me, he also gave me a strain of HPV, which thankfully was not the cancerous type. /16

      Later on, I heard from a male friend that he did this in every city, at every show. He preferred underage girls (or as close to underage as he could get). What happened to me has likely happened to a lot of underage girls by this same man. /17

      A warning to Maynard James Keenan and all men: *leave underage girls alone.* Do not take advantage of a girl's kindness and trust. She deserves to keep her self-confidence and happiness forever. /End #TimesUp #MeToo

          I've carried a sense of deep shame from this assault for many years. I thought it was my fault. How could I let him do this to me? But he was 36. I was 17. He knew exactly what he was getting away with. What could I have done differently? My body was paralyzed. #MeToo

          Now that I am approaching the age that Maynard James Keenan was when he assaulted me, the thought of assaulting a 17 year old is completely unthinkable. Just *unthinkable*. We have to train men to think rape is as unthinkable as cannibalism. #MeToo

          When I was 9 years old, Twitter user @Iwas17HeWas36 raped me. She invited me into her room to watch Frasier Season 3 and raped me while I was frozen in fear. I have to share my story. If you don't believe me, you're a rape apologist. #metoo #timesup

          It’s still rape. She never gave consent. Doesn’t matter if it’s statutory or not. Stop protecting your gross faves.

          To clarify, I agree with taking accusations seriously, I'm not calling the accuser a liar. However, I agree with Manson in that there is this snowball effect that happens on social media that can be very damaging, in some cases, unnecessarily.

          I support you 100% and I'm very, deeply sorry you had to go through that with someone you admired so much, but please consider changing your position to *leave all girls alone*. "No" means NO regardless your age. Rape is criminal if you're 16, 30 or 83.

          why is it so difficult to understand that guys rape girls all the time? But somehow it’s more believable that girls would make it up. Any real victim knows it won’t make u famous. Infamous maybe, like a leper no one will go near. Name 2 Cosby victims off the top of your head.

          In her story, she didn't consent. Surely it's as simple as that.

          Implied consent?! She was 17 and fan girling at actually meeting Maynard. He didn’t hit on her or kiss her. Where is consent implied in this story? This is the same “she was asking for it” excuse rapists consistently use. Using power to manipulate and coerce is not consent.

          Yes exactly. Because a 17 year old getting on a bus is "implied consent" for all that followed apparently. 🤨Horrifying logic.

          Yes being a fan doesn’t automatically mean you want to bang the guy. Nothing is implied here except she was 17 and had no idea what was happening.

          Ok, so you are falsely accusing someone of a crime, you are mispresenting who you are, you are asking for donations for a fake reason, and you are misusing valuable police resources if they investigate. You just committed 4 crimes, 5 if you sign an affidavit with this testament.
