I have been trying to figure out how to
write this for a while now. Last year someone I've known on and off
since I was in junior high disappeared for a while. I'd send him
comic book links and nerd stuff on Facebook and he wouldn't respond or see
any of them. Fast forward months later and a mutual acquaintance
asked if I had heard from him and asked if I checked the sheriffs inmate
site for him. I'm glad that the way my life is going no one thinks to do that
if they don't hear from me. They just think I am dead. So I check the
site and it showed that his bail was set at a million dollars and
that he was charged with a felony.
Yeah. Imagine my surprise.
But this was just the beginning. I
talked to my mother about this and a few friends about this and she
said to call and just ask what he was locked up for. I didn't know it
was that easy. The lady answered, I gave his name, and she was like
“continuous abuse of a minor.” I said thank you and hung up like
“What. The. Fuck.” I told someone else that has known him even
longer than I did and he was in shock as well. I told the first
person that got me onto this and she was doubtful of the charge while
my brain immediately thought he was guilty because he's a guy.
