You may remember a previous post I did about an alleged Sexual Predator by the name of Arlin Jordin (I am only stating alleged as he had not been found guilty at the time of my previous post and as the quote goes 'guilty until proven innocent) Ok, so lets me honest. Reality tells us that if it was only one woman pointing the finger at this guy then the justice system would probably try to convince the jury that the sex was consensual, but when you have many women coming forward and pointing the finger at this man then there is no doubt in my mind that he is guilty.
After posting the first entry about this guy I was surprised to receive a couple of posts from women who had come in contact with him - though I am sure they wished they hadn't. Well, today I was surprised to receive an update from one of his victims, which is the common word people use to describe someone who has been sexually assaulted. Well, it is time we define these woman for who they really are - survivors! JB (one woman who came in contact with the Predator) is really a survivor. She was assaulted by this man and rather than let this person destroy her she found the courage to confront him and make sure he never gets a chance to hurt anyone else, ever again - if of course, the system does its job!
The good news is that Arlin Jordin was convicted of Second Degree Rape and Indecent Liberties which means that he could face anywhere from 6 yrs to life behind bars. Sentencing will take place on July 13.

As an interesting footnote I first heard about Jordin through one of the Associate Architects I work with who happened to be in the same fraternity with him in college. They weren't great friends but would get together every few years for college reunions. Bod recalls that Jordin had the charismatic personality that seemed to attract the women. But doesn't it make you wonder just how long he has been preying on women, and how many women have been assaulted by him?
