but my mind can't fill in that blank. She is indescribable. Her enabling and participation in the abuse of children, her lack of any feelings or remorse during and after her involvement in the rape of young girls (at an age which she once was but the disconnect is always apparent) and her sense of indignation and entitlement after being held to account just leave me speechless.

She is a betrayal to her gender. The gender that grows up and goes through life with that always present, nagging fear that at any moment, a man - stronger and more powerful - could hurt her or worse. The girls trusted her because she was an older version of them. She manipulated and exploited that trust. She deserves to rot in jail and then in Hell.

She betrayed these young girls, abused their trust and destroyed their youth and their lives and deserves the harshest punishment possible.
