Some years later, my now-adult (& very pregnant) sister was teaching a class, & my ex & his then-girlfriend (or wife? it wasn't clear) attended. The first session went OK, but then the girlfriend/wife withdrew, & the guy started harassing sis. Calling endlessly, sending emails, demanding his girlfriend's money back, which sis couldn't legally do, so then he said she was his wife, not his GF...

He kept demanding his girlfriend/wife's money back, sis would ask him for info she needed in order to be able to, & neither he nor the alleged wife/girlfriend would give her the info, only harass her more & berate her for not returning their money. Sis never did get what she needed to be able to refund them, only a series of poor online review from him & a case opened with the state's Attorney General.

When the Atty General's office called her & asked her what it was about, they recognized he was clearly being a total shit & making a big deal out of nothing, so we suppose it might have been that he recognized her & decided to harass her because... I dunno, why does anybody harass someone? That's who he is.

As it turns out, the boy who raped me grew into a man who became a sleazy lawyer. He spends his days helping DUIs & sexual predators stay out of jail. Both my sister and I keep occasional tabs on him as a self-protective measure.

So what's the cosmic retribution?

Well, it's not a huge thing, really, but I'm getting some satisfaction out of it: his law license was suspended for 3 months and he was censured by the state board for violating a number of their standards & rules. Apparently he picked up a family law case (not his usual purview) in which he helped his client file endless frivolous motions harassing their opposition.

In the process he decided to start harassing & defaming *all* the Superior Court judges in a local county.

Seriously, not just one, which would've been plenty, but ALL of them.

Looks like that went about as well as could be expected for him. Stupid asshole.

I'm currently reading the suspension orders. It's highly entertaining & couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I just wish the suspension had been permanent instead of only 3 months long.

If I weren't prepping for a colonoscopy I'd be munching popcorn right now.

Also looks like my dude is divorced (I WONDER WHY). He looks *terrible* in his social media pix.

Nemesis has blessed me this day.

What a total piece of human excrement, @Impious_Jade. I hope karma gets even with him soon. 🤬

@Impious_Jade prepping eh? Do you have a bucket with a lid and his address?

@sfleetucker Oh man, wish I'd thought of that earlier...

@sfleetucker @Impious_Jade 😂

@sfleetucker @Impious_Jade
😱🤗

@sfleetucker @Impious_Jade
Really, karma has a way of sorting things out better than we ever could.
I was molested by a relative when I was 7. It took about 40 years, but in the end, he committed suicide. (for reasons unrelated). It did, however, save me from all the hate & resentment I might have still been carrying.

@Impious_Jade
Oh my. I hope your exam goes well.

@Say_what_now Thanks, it's routine for my age, apparently. Prep kind of sucks but I'm sure it'll be OK.

@Impious_Jade
He sounds unhinged and dangerous. I would steer him a wide berth and be glad you both are safe.

@CinnamonGirlE Thanks. I know where he lives & practices, haven't seen him for decades. Both me & sis are fierce & proud & would probably set him on fire with our rage alone if he even came within a mile of either of us. We're quite safe these days.

@Impious_Jade
I can definitely understand that feeling from you both. Rage isn't always bad. Sometimes it protects us. But yes, the main thing is you are safe. Sorry you both had to endure that.
