Subject: Re: Tonye,,,,OWSPOLICY GROUP facillitator charged with Rape?

"Tonye was charged on Tuesday with the rape of an individual he
offered to share his tent with, then undressed after she fell asleep
and forced himself upon despite her protestations. This is not
something I can give a lot more details on, but suffice it to say that
when these details and the complaining victims were brought to the
police to press charges, they were sufficient to charge him with the
crime and if you see Tonye trying to continue his interaction with
your group it is because he is out on bail awaiting trial for both
this rape and another case of sexual molestation with which he has
been charged.

If he attends a meeting, or is present in the camp, he is to be
repulsed immediately and reported to the police if necessary - it is
in the victims' best interests that he not be allowed to be present, a
fact which the police should well understand given one or both of them
will be testifying against him for the crimes on which he is presently
out on bail.

Hi Crimson,

I don't believe I've met Sean. Is he a leader of the GA? Was his message an "Official Occupy Wall Street" message? Is there a restraining order on Tonye that prevents him from being near the OWS site, alleged victims, etc?

Under what basis of law are we to repulse him and call the police?

Thanks,

Vince

Hi Vince,
I responded to you via your personal email. Sean is the only person so
far that I have been able to find
that even knows Tonye. So, I am unclear how he received this
information, but he seems to be very involved in
the arrangements between Liberty Park and the real estate owners. You
can find him listed under "Security" groups
and follow the thread pertaining to the harassment of women (and
worse) at Liberty.
If anyone else knows anything else about this situation, please keep
us informed.
Thanks.
Crimson
