Woman commits suicide after arrest for using adult toy on beach goes viral

That is sad. We live in a culture that both has voyeuristic yet also puritanical attitudes about sex. I also suspect social media had a field day both mocking and shaming her.

It sounds like she had a lot of other stuff going on in her life too and all of this pushed her over the edge.

 

This doesn't sound like the video had anything to do with her death.

She was arrested in July 2021 and killed herself in March of 2022. The video was only posted a month ago.

 

Her family has said it didn't. They said she had extensive drug and alcohol issues as well as a lot of personal problems (job, family, ect...).

 

(ignoring the specifics of this case)

I'm fine with the right to have your indecent exposure crimes be hidden from the general public view unless specifically allowable by the state or a court. Media can go buzz on something else.

 

This is always my concern.
Look at the websites like PEOPLE OF WALMART. Com
TMZ
and various things like that

We are constantly filming people without their permission
and then posting them for the world.

Women doing it to those guys they think are watching them in the gym
even if they not. . .. F'ing those guy's lives up

If it was a dude with a fleshlight, would the tone of the story be any different?

 

Yes - but for good reason honestly. Women are not a physical threat to men, and commit very few sex crimes.

 

I don't think that qualifies as a good reason to humiliate this woman publicly, even postumously.

 

Still sad story even if the release of the video didn’t cause her death. The embarrassment and shame she felt over what happened probably really added to her other problems.

 

That is a good question and I think likely would change it for the reasons Nook cited.

we’ve seen men able to come back from public humiliation for such things like Paul Rueben’s and Jeffrey Toobin. If it was a man as long as he showed honest contrition and a belief that he didn’t think anyone was around they might garner sympathy.

 

I don’t think so either… I hope that isn’t how you took what I posted.

 

She had a kid at 16 and 20 then left her husband to relive her lost youth. Drugs are always bad...

It wasn't wrong for the Karen to call the cops on her. Maybe the police should've exercised "discretion" by not parading her inside a restaurant, but they were treating her like every other suspect.

Not sure how the body cam footage leaked. Seems incredibly wrong that midemeanors like that isn't sealed after a period of time. It shouldn't take an expensive court process to expunge digital evidence from the public record.

Lesson here: Even innocent, never admit anything and lawyer the **** up. Bodycams are not your friend.

 

Damn wish I could save her. She wouldn't need a toy thats for sure. RIP

 

To many times I see people talk to cops as if the cops were actually trying to help...........the cops are not your friend, lawyer the **** up and shut your trap. What they did to this poor lady is F`d up, there was no need to parade her around like that, this is a victimless crime, give her a ticket and go away................and to the person who felt the need to call the cops, get a life
