Matt Hickey is a Serial Rapist

[ingopixel]

This bomb dropped on FB this weekend. I had heard some of these accusations before and had promptly cut him out of my life. Some people remained his friend. Now I'm dreading that people may still try to defend him or avoid the pain of coming to terms with all this by just ignoring it. I do not want that to happen. I don't want people to feel bad,

A friend of mine was raped by him. (a couple of years ago.) She is beginning to talk to people about what happened. The more I hear, the more I am creeped out.

I'm so so so sorry for your friend. I really hope this leads to justice.

[gfrancie]

Me too. (she has had a really rough week.)

I cant say I'm happy to have done it, but damn am I relieved that this news is spreading.

I always thought he was an untrustworthy dirt bag but was like, I must be missing something, because so many of my friends whom I love and trust liked him. I hate being validated in this way tho... I feel sick for the survivors and really sad for my friends who have to confront this info about someone they trusted. Normally "trial by social media" makes me really uncomfortable but then I'm like... Eh, in this case? Fuck that guy.

The way I see it, this never would have come to light without social media. It was indispensable to help these victims find each other and begin to mobilize.

Long long long long ago he was a good guy. Something in him broke and broke hard. For a short time I tried to convince myself that the good guy was still in there somewhere but that's been gone a long time.

It is so fucked. But I feel like it's really important to face it. As horrific and uncomfortable as it is.
