‘Why was it swept under the table?’ Victim’s parents question police’s shelving of probe into sex offender Former Act Party president Tim Jago was accused of sexually abusing a teenager in 1999. He wasn’t charged until fresh allegations emerged more than two decades later.

“Why did police shelve an investigation into a teenager’s sex abuse allegations about former Act Party president Tim Jago 25 years before he was eventually convicted?”

Former ACT Party president and convicted sex offender Tim Jago's name suppression went on too long - advocate A survivors' advocate says sex offenders should not be able to get name suppression for as long as Tim Jago had.

ACT’s media statement is objectively factually inaccurate and it keeps being reprinted without disclaimer.

They did not take immediate action, they waited until the last possible moment, and turned responsibility over to Jago to resign, rather than cleaned house.

Māori mā especially take care in listening to them, many are affirming and some are fantastic displays of mana and rooted in the whenua. others are fantastical displays of white supremacist ideologies.

To call them a Jewish advocacy group is wild. They are an antisemitic, Islamophobic, racist Zionist lobby group

Yup

These people don't understand that anything but yes is a NO, they try and manipulate you to try and convince others that you consented. I often wonder how this carries over in other areas of their lives where consent applies, like when we call it rape when someone doesn't get consent for others. 👀

Soo cool! 😎
