I imagine Combs was raised in a home where he witnessed/experienced physical & sexual abuse/violence.
I don’t feel one bit of pity for him, because he chose to repeat upon others, what was witnessed/done to him.
Right now, I work with a man who was accused of, charged, & convicted of sexually abusing an 8 year old little girl, while he dated/lived with this child’s mother.
He literally showed me the paperwork in regards to the case online, via his phone, on some legal website. All while disclosing this to me for reasons I still don’t entirely understand or can make sense of, he claimed he was innocent, & the charges came about because the child’s semi-estranged father & his non estranged family, brought legal accusations against the child’s mother, & himself, for the purpose of obtaining full custody of said child.
The paperwork CLEARLY stated my coworker was charged & convicted of as a result of these charges.
As he showed me these filings/results, he continued to claim he was innocent, & unjustly persecuted.
Honestly?
I was completely shocked & left speechless after viewing these documents, & I cannot understand why he revealed this.
I’ve struggled with, should I tell our boss? Should I remain quiet, & mind my own business?
The above stated, since viewing those documents, I’ve felt a HUGE amount of anger towards this person, which grows daily, because by all legal accounts, it was found that he sexually assaulted an 8 year old little girl, & he, for whatever bizarre reason, placed me in a position I should NOT have been placed in, & now I see him & see a man who victimized a little girl, while claiming to be innocent.
I now REALLY dislike this person, & understand he’s totally full of shit, while he remains under the impression he underwent a witch hunt, believing his word means more than a kid who underwent hours of questioning by authorities & psychologists, who eventually determined she admitted he assaulted her.
I still haven’t shared this with my boss, because while I may profoundly dislike this man, I’m also guessing he needs to work in order to meet his post sentencing probation requirements, & DL? Who am I to make that impossible for him?
I’m conflicted all day while we work together, & just don’t want to point this out, because what if there’s a 1% chance he’s telling the truth?
I’m writing this, because I hope my experience with this shows all of us reading this, how difficult it is to determine truth, even if in your gut, you believe that 99%, you’re listening to a REAL predator defend himself while the predator denies all of it.
NO ONE wants to make a mistake. NO ONE wants to be wrong, which is why we leave these decisions to the jury, unless the predator makes a plea deal, which based upon what I read, this coworker of mine made.
Sometimes plea deals mean it’s the best way out of something you’re actually innocent of, yet can’t beat, & sometimes plea deals mean you’re guilty AF, yet don’t have the unlimited financial resources required to legally game the system, & get away with literal murder, like OJ Simpson did.
I 100% believe Combs is guilty as charged, but I ALSO believe he might get away with it, because he’s got enough money to do just that.
