[Noisebridge-discuss] Camp Tipsy sexual assault charges and Noisebridge

[Liz Henry]

Hi there fellow Noisebridgers,

I had heard a rumor about Jesse being arrested, and heard about there
being trouble at Camp Tipsy and only put them together last night, and
looked up court records from Colusa County where Camp Tipsy happened.

Here is a post from the organizer of Camp Tipsy about the event (scroll
down to the paragraph beginning "Sexual assault happens.".

Here are the court records:

And a local newspaper article about the alleged assault and the arrest.

I would like us to talk this over at the meeting tonight.

I'd like to directly ask Jesse to agree not to come to Noisebridge while
he deals with these charges.

Because I want us all to be able to make good decisions about our safety
and about recommending Noisebridge as a place for others to come to, I
felt it is important to say this in public and get it out there as
information for everyone involved with Noisebridge, rather than to rely
on people spreading the word through backchannel gossip.



Best,

Liz
