I swear, I have the worst luck with men. The guy from my "someone likes me, but he's shy" thread was hauled out of the store in handcuffs yesterday. The charge we saw on the county website was "Cruelty towards child". We looked up the statute and it states
So while I can't say for sure that it was a sex offense, given what I know of him, I'm confident that's what it was. He probably sent some kid or teenager a picture of his junk, or sexted or something of that nature. This is also the same guy who stopped seeing me (to my relief, he was getting weird/scary) after I refused to have sex without a condom. We all knew this guy was kind of weird, but we thought it was the common, garden variety quirky. He was one of the last people you'd expect to see escorted out by police. Now that this happened, we also found out that before he started seeing me, he was involved with another girl at work, a younger one. A month into the relationship he got her to give up her virginity. And then promptly dumped her.
What the actual fuck.
So on top of a really rough day at work, I spent most of the day with THIS knowledge, knowing I'd been fairly intimate (although we never had actual intercourse) with this person and it made me feel sick. After we closed, we stopped by the liquor store and got some shots and Southern Comfort and Coke. I went to Needy's house and we had a nice little stress-relieving session with the drinks, some Wendy's, snuggling her kitty cats. . . and her neighbor, Teddy. I adore Teddy to death, and he was really great for chatting and sympathy, too. What makes this even more bizarre is that Teddy is in a long term committed relationship with Biscuit, who is the guy I carried a torch for for over two years. He told me he was straight and that Ted was his brother. I still love them both to death, but that took a hell of a lot of adjusting once I realized what was really going on.
I have a screwed up social life.
