Less than £300k for a year of repeated rape by fraud? And no charges for the officer? Sounds like imperialism to me.
holy shit its british Point Break
(no surfing of course because england)
Check out Cornwall
i'll surf with a pasty any time
All I need to do is join a bunch of leftist organizations and the state will assign me a sexual partner?
Incels hate this one simple trick!
This is one of my fears. I can’t imagine the betrayal and lack of ethics. I can’t imagine a person who would sell their souls to date someone they hate like this. Just thinking about it ugh! I’m in a community with a bunch of degenerates and sometimes I’ve dated guys who just seem to be lying through their teeth that they like me. I stopped frequenting their bars. Doesn’t help when the photographer at events is an undercover cop. I’m not the one in biker gangs but I stopped going because of all the fake suspicion. Still I’d need soooooo much therapy. I hope she got a huuuuge settlement.
If they slept together he raped her with government backing
Kennedy, who resigned from the Met in 2010, had sexual relationships with as many as 10 other women while undercover.
Maybe not as huge as it should be but
In 2021, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ordered the Met Police and NPCC to pay a total of £229,471 to Ms Wilson “by way of just satisfaction for the breaches of her human rights”
Not nearly enough.
"This is one of my fears"
I'm so sorry that this is actually a concern that someone legitimately feels. It's unbelievable to me that anyone could date someone they don't like, for whatever reason...
sends hug
This makes me feel sick
Happens a lot in Spain.
There has been a lot cases of police officers infiltrating left and social movements, male and female, and "failing in love" with people inside them. Just off the top of my head, there is a case of female cop that was caught by her partner after 4 years of relationship and before getting married; an another one where a male cop infiltrated different associations and literally fucked his way up to the intel, tricking women and having them have (consent) sex with him. This one his awaiting trial because after finding out the girls sued him for sexual abuse, but i doubt it will go anywhere knowing how justice works here.
You cannot obtain consent by deceit. That's rape.
Speaking only about the legal sense here, most places do not recognize that. If you are of sound mind and body, not under the influence of drugs, extortion, etc, then the consent is valid.
Part of the problem is that everyone is at least a little deceitful, and these have been used in courts to claim rape. I remember a case about the use of makeup (deceiving about her actual looks and genetics), and another about being the "wrong" ethnicity. Where is the line for the courts to be involved?
It's been years since I saw a burning cop car, I'm fucking irritated
One of my favorite memories is a comrade being interviewed during the LA Watt's Rebellion. A TV reporter asked him why they were burning police cars. His reply, "Because it's fun!"
That's truly awful, ACAB.
However, I do want to let any of our new glowies know I personally give prior consent to be honeypotted by cuties who buy me nice things.
Believe it or not, Mark Kennedy is my brother in law.
He’s a bit full of himself, and it’s weird when this comes up in the news cycle.
He wrote a book about his experiences, but it wasn’t taken up with the publisher because he essentially didn’t express regret.
Of course he didn't regret anything. ACAB
He should have been charged. The fact that none of the legal avenues have involved him is obscene.
I had a deadbeat housemate once who claimed to have been visited by two special branch cops who offered to arrange him a sexual partner in return for spying on the local anti-war group he was in. This seemed ludicrous at the time, as the group would gather outside the town hall in small numbers and sing “No More Blood For Oil” all in different keys, but in the light of this story (which had been known for quite a while now) it absolutely tracks with the tactics it turned out they’d been using.
I mean like... how do you even react to when the cops offer to pimp for you?
“It is important to note that since Mark Kennedy’s deployment there has been enormous change in undercover policing, both in the Met and nationally, and I want to be clear that this case in no way reflects modern-day undercover policing.”
Press X to doubt.
Incels just need to pretend to be leftists and then they’ll get their government mandated GF.
Have you seen them try and talk to women it's embarrassing. They usually last about 15 minutes and then they call somebody "female", or something and they can't work out what went wrong.
They would be amusingly crap spies. You could probably keep them in your midst and just talk coded language, and they probably wouldn't pick up on it.
I'm in a few local orgs and this is fucking nightmare fuel!
Wtf is this? The British version of Gestapo's joy division? Fucking disgusting. Intelligence agencies shouldn't exist outside war scenarios or valid EXTERNAL threats.
I scrolled on All/Top-6-Hours and I see this horror story on my front page.
Are we gonna play Among Us IRL now?
Are my parents even real? Or just government agents? 🤔
This is awful, but I wonder what is technically illegal about it. It is a misleading and manipulative lie, but it's not illegal to lie about personal topics, I don't think.
It's fucking rape.
As horrible this is (as owl said) how do you figure out it is rape?
Edit: fucking sorry for asking a question, that's too much for you it seems. "Everything is rape" isn't the answer ffs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_by_deception
False name, false life story, false reason for having sex with her. He had sex with her in order to spy on her.
It's sex under false pretences and deception. That's a legally defined rape.
I agree with you. If being misleading is equal to rape, then this rule can easily be abused.
The legal battle was a civil suit, based more on the violations of Kate Wilson's human rights, than on the legality of actions
I remember that happening in Orphan Black. But she stayed married to Donnie and he just became part of the clone gang.
Weren't they already together when they approached Donnie, and he thought it was part of a study he couldn't tell her about? I think it was Paul who was fully in the know about what he was doing to Beth Childs.
What in the Pyong Yang?
Insert UK for America, but you get the idea.
If this sort of thing happened in Korea we'd be hearing of it every day for years. Unfortunately this is a UK/US Phenomenon.
