so ive been talking about this on and off with a few people. ive mentioned it here in a previous post, which has since been deleted because i prefer to keep real life and rp separate. but back in april i was sexually assaulted.
the man was the owner of an autoshop and has a history for using his business as a front to lure in unsuspecting women he could corner, harass, and abuse. i was the first person to file a case against him, but since i came forward, four other women have placed similar complaints with the beverly pd, with three of those women filing charges. below is a series of articles, on the case:

i was the april case referenced in the first article, which has since been dismissed. since the other women have come forward back in october, he has been in police custody, but as of yesterday that is no longer the case. fuck, i mean, the only reason i realized he was back was because i passed by his shop last night and saw that his lights were on.
to put it bluntly, the salem district attorneys office has refused to indict him. i also did a bit of digging and realized that the reviews i and a couple of other victims left on his google review page warning that he was a predator had been removed, with a number of... er... suspicious reviews being left in their place.
these were all left right around the time he was taken into custody:
obviously hes deleting critical reviews. however, i left another and almost immediately got this response:
infuriating!
he IS listed as “permanently closed” on apple maps, but not on google. i suspect this meant “closed for the foreseeable future” and was from when he was first taken into custody. however, i forgot i had filed a complaint with MA state, asking for his business license to be revoked. i included the police report and news articles. i doubt anything came of it, or that those are connected, but heres hoping
in the meanwhile, there's not much else i can do. my case was dismissed, and his track record for accountability is abysmal. the only thing i can think of is spamming his review page with negative reviews, but i'm only one person.
i know it isnt much but im terrified of him landing on his feet and reopening. he has shown absolutely zero signs of remorse and i have no doubt that he will continue to victimize women if left to his own devices. if any of you could spare the time to, i dont know, leave a negative review, or something just to drop his businesses rating, that would mean the world to me. right now its rated 5.0 on google. its disgusting.

heres the link. thank you all for reading
edit: reblogs are appreciated!
panic deleted this last night but either theres something going on with google, or he's removing reviews because i can no longer see the one i most recently left. so now im pissed off again.
edit: i think theres something wrong with google. i found the review i left three months ago, but i can only see it if i log in from a separate account. the reviews the other victims left are just no longer there.
