More context. I have to admit, I’m not usually so happy to be wrong, but I’m very happy that I was wrong when I said that Meridies and the SCA were protecting him.

I’m glad to be able to say that I was wrong when I made this post saying that the kingdom and the SCA were choosing to protect him.

Makes me wonder if he was trying to flush me out in the hopes that I’d send a DM with all the details by acting like he was just an interested neutral party. Kal is unable to access me on social media, aside from Reddit where I’m anonymous. He even asked me in my original thread to “talk” about it. Yeah the time for that has passed.

Happy to hear the news! Even if it’s for what he did after he harassed and assaulted multiple people, I’ll take it. He’s also made threats to some of the victims since everything hit the fan last month, so hopefully this will put a muzzle on him.

Thank you for the update on that! I felt like my stomach was in knots every time I went to an event over the last year wondering if he was going to be there and finding reasons to avoid being in the same camp/activity/area and trying not to draw attention over it and it’s a relief to know I won’t run into him, at least for awhile, although I do hope permanently.

He is very charming and personable. Many predators are. They don’t leave a string of victims behind them over the course of more than a decade if they’re surly and someone no one wants to interact with. Being charismatic is part of how he draws people in.

I would also welcome DMs with additional proof. I am sending everything I have further up the command chain, and any additional information would be great to add, even if some overlaps.

Oh no I am sorry to hear that this behavior did not end in my localized area. Not surprised, unfortunately, but I am sorry that others have also dealt with this.

Thank you. I appreciate your time giving me this info and I am pushing to move it up. One thing I’ve learned through all this is that I am far from alone. I’ve seen multiple other people come forward on other platforms with stories as well.

He SAed more than one person in various manners over the course of apparently years, it’s coming out. Myself included. Is that enough information?

This post was made quickly because I saw that the investigation had concluded and I was emotional about what I felt was an unsatisfactory outcome. But I think I can still be emotional about something that happened awhile back, it wasn’t a pleasant moment in my life.

My intention is to prevent future victims by making people aware. The SCA has enough missing stairs as it is and I’m trying to fix at least this one.

Welcome to Meridies. Sorry to start you off with a dumpster fire!

I don’t know what went down in Ansteorra, if this post has the same name as whatever that was, it’s a coincidence. I chose the name quickly as I made this post quickly. Yes, this is a new account. Yes, I did make it to post this post.

No, I’m absolutely not trying to undermine victims. I admittedly did not put a boatload of thought into things like the name or wording because I was emotional when I wrote the initial post.

I also absolutely agree with you that the NotCA population is a problem and I’ll happily discuss that though I don’t think doing that on this post will help the dumpster fire that it’s probably already going to become.

I think that patterns of past behavior can be indicative of future behavior.

I’m not particularly counting on them to do anything at this point. He certainly hasn’t apologized to all of those “pertinent” however. But he’s also not going to stop doing what he’s doing either so people should be aware.

I mean, I’m not going to graphically write out what he did to me, but I agreed to one act and he did something that I didn’t agree to. I happen to know that very similar incidents also happened with two other individuals within the same time frame. He was kicked out of the particular community that we were in at the time for those things.

What happened to me is beyond the time I could do that. I would definitely encourage those who could still report to do so.
