#OpStopShaming: Tarpon Springs, Florida

#OpStopShaming

Greetings citizens of the world and of Tarpon Springs, Florida. We are Anonymous.

Recently a young man in the Tarpon Springs community was charged with and arrested for the alleged rape of a young woman at a party. According to reports this girl was intoxicated and lacked the awareness to give consent.

After coming forward with her report, this young lady has been the victim of online bullying and shaming from classmates and others. This is unacceptable. In just the past several weeks we have seen this behavior lead to the suicide of the alleged victim of the crime. This will not happen again.

We have engaged #OpStopShaming.

While law enforcement continues its investigation we will be monitoring social media and other communication for attacks on this young woman. Attacks against her will be met with swift action.

We ask that the community and students allow the investigation to continue unimpeded and that those involved be treated fairly and with respect. If you refuse this request, then you can expect us.

Incidence of bullying and shaming can be reported to stopshaming@gmail.com or to @th3pr1est on Twitter.

We are Anonymous.

We are legion.

We are watching.

Expect us.
