Rose captioned im writing, "Today we can exhale. stinky trash is gone. Thank you to brave women testifying who took it on chin to get us over finish line. Endlessly proud of m. Today world is safer because he's t on streets. Today world is also smarter than it was pre-2017 (my personal goal was to use my story and my fight and my ambition to cause a massive Cultural Reset. I wanted to burn a system down, and so I did.) Did you kw only 2% of rapes lead to a conviction? How messed up is it that it's an insane privilege to see anything bad happen to your rapist, let alone m go to jail?! More work to be done for sure, but today I can say that due to strengths of many, prosecutor's tenacity, jury who did better than most, and especially women who took stand, re is a Mønster off streets. Love to you all who've shown me support along way. Deeply appreciated. Goddamn, I can brea. And maybe, just maybe, learn to hope again X RM"
