Trigger warning for abuse and suicide: a summary of Alec Holowka by Scott Benson https://medium.com/@bombsfall/alec-2618dc1e23e …
Wrong. Take a look at how rape victims and abuse victims are treated by the police (badly) and how hard it is to come forward. Also you keep pinning this all on Quinn, who’s now getting death threats, as though there aren’t like fifteen other victims.

Also, the guy had a documented history of threatening suicide when people annoyed him or tried to hold him accountable. This isn’t him being driven to suicide by false accusations; this is a clusterfuck of abuse and mental health issues.

You mean the way Quinn has been getting death threats for years, intensifying now? Even if she - and, again, the MULTIPLE OTHER VICTIMS - had gone to the courts, which may not even have been possible now given statutes of limitations, public reaction would still have happened.

A rapist and abuser who threatened suicide to multiple victims over a period of nearly two decades whenever they tried to hold him accountable is responsible for his own actions; the victims who speak out are not.

And if he’d still killed himself when they went to the police and it became public that way, what would your argument be - that they shouldn’t have come forward at all? And what evidence beyond testimony do you think exists in cases like these?

Again, I find it telling and fascinating that this whole thread is in response to a male victim documenting Holowka’s abuse, zero mention of Quinn, and yet you’re still acting like this is all on her alone, like there were no other victims who also spoke up publicly.
