    The case was settled via a plea agreement signed in Las Vegas last week when Jessup admitted guilt to a lesser, Level B felony count of sexual assault that could still carry multiple years in prison. He was facing a Level A felony where he could have spent 20 years to life in prison.

    Jesus. He raped her.

    Every accusation is an admission. The people we really need to Save The Children from are elected Republicans like this shit heel and that slimy shit heel Matt Gaetz.

    “No way to stop this happening” says only country where this regularly happens.

    Apologies to The Onion and with for the egregious application of poetic license for keeping the word “only” in there.
