I was sexually assaulted/r word by an ex Olympian in the snowboard industry, and it was insane to watch the small amount of people who I’d tell just try and brush it off, because the guy “is just a really great guy and has done a lot for snowboarding…”

Snowboarding can be so predatory, and I was on the design side. It wasn’t hard to be completely spat out of that industry that I’ve never been able to go back to design.

No bueno.

This sounds messy. Non consecutive paragraphs from the article below, click through if you want the full story:

"The prosecutor said the victim understood the need to dismiss the case and would be in favor of moving forward with the charge if it needs to be refiled.

...

In a statement issued Friday to local news outlets, the Cincinnati Police Department admitted to a protocol lapse that led to the case being reassigned within its department after a directive was not followed.

...

CPD also said that despite the dismissal on Friday, new evidence has been recovered and an ongoing investigation is still permitted."

It’s a common misconception that trafficking has to do with movement. It’s one part of one kind of trafficking but not the only thing. Per the official government website:

Neither U.S. law nor international law requires that a trafficker or victim move across a border for a human trafficking offense to take place.  Trafficking in persons is a crime of exploitation and coercion, and not movement.  Traffickers can use schemes that take victims hundreds of miles away from their homes or exploit them in the same neighborhoods where they were born.
