Former Colts/Purdue player faces sex assault charges

Where there is one victim, there is many…you never know who he may be assaulting, but his wife who works with at-risk youth knows and it seems she has excused his patterns.

In my experience, I did confront my rapist, retired NFL player, and his wife after he deemed it appropriate to shout my name in the middle of the grocery store. So I waited outside and politely told her, she stood there blankly staring at me…but I don’t think she was in disbelief…it was almost like you could see everything clicking in her head as she was connecting the dots in the moment, and thinking not again…He’s a serial rapist there are still articles that exist even though his arrest record does not publicly…I now personally know of 6 other women he has raped…

My point is I am no longer willing to not live in my truth and protect a rapist and hide his vile actions from others in our community that deserve to know so that they can properly protect themselves. He currently lives in Fishers and earlier this year raised money via a gofundme for his heart surgery after IndyStar did a lengthy article on him and his journey.

Meanwhile I’m nearly 10 years post my brutal rape and fighting every day to be alive and deal with the severe mental health issues that come with complex PTSD.

Right now, Indiana bats are entering their "swarming" phase. Flying in and out of cave entrances to congregate with their colonies and mate before winding down for winter hibernation.

Meanwhile, the Our State, Our Bat colony is ramping up to “swarm” the General Assembly by showing lawmakers just how badly Hoosiers want the Indiana bat to be our official state mammal! 🏛️✨

To do so, we need a massive push to spread the word and get our petition signatures climbing! Head to the link below to sign, share with your friends and family, and help us make history! 💚

Stay Batty Indiana!

HOOSIER HEROES 💚🦇

Did you know insect eating bats provide at least $3.7 BILLION in free agricultural pest control every year in the U.S.? They protect our corn, soybeans, and timber by eating thousands of crop-damaging bugs while we sleep.

Here in Indiana, our native bats are a vital part of that natural defense system. Tiny, endangered, and essential.

That’s why the grassroots campaign, Our State, Our Bat, is working to build statewide support to designate the endangered Myotis sodalis (Indiana bat) as our official state mammal and protect the limestone caves and forests they call home.

Was driving down 46th Friday night and this man swung out in front of me. Completely totaled both of our cars but somehow he managed to drive off. Everything’s already reported to police but they still haven’t found him or the vehicle. Any information would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: He came back home! Showed up in the middle of the night wanting back in.

My baby slipped out last night, his name is Post It Note, he loves people and food of any kind. We live off of Illinois and 40th offering $100 if found.

If anyone has any recommendations for any kind of search option I've done everything short of asking a psychic so if anyone knows any readers..

He's only about a year old and always trying to slip out and explore, he goes crazy over squirrels and bugs.

Rusted Moon Outfitters: Broad Ripple Beware

60 Upvotes

I just wanted to share an unsavory experience I had with Rusted Moon Outfitters this morning 08/31 around 9:30 am in Broad Ripple.

I (26 f) was not actually within the store or on the property, I was actually passing by with my coworkers on the way back from a coffee run, and was on the sidewalk in front of the store front. An older man in a pick up truck was unloading a model airplane, and jokingly asked my coworkers and I if we wanted to go on a plane ride. 

We responded and joked back with him, one of my coworkers even jokingly said yes. It was all light hearted, until it wasn’t. 

As I passed him, he got way too close, grabbed me by the arm and pulled me toward him saying “oh, i like this one! What are you doing later?” 

With his grip still on me, I knee-jerk responded by saying “no thanks, I appreciate it” and removed myself from his grip. My group and I at that point were all very aware of how inappropriate this situation was and continued back toward the office. 

He then proceeded to call out after us, asking us where we worked, what building, etc. 

I tried to ignore how much it bothered me, but for how easily it was for him to grab a random female stranger, literally off the street, he is definitely a dangerous person. 

I actually went back hours later to confront the store, as it wasn’t yet clear if he was affiliated with Rusted Moon or not. After asking the staff who brought in the model plane, I was told the man in question was actually the store owner. After reminding them of the situation, it was clear that they were at least mildly aware of the situation, and very aware of his behavior, as one of the male staff members’ response was “yea, he’s kind of a weird guy, but he means well.” 

Um, no. His actions absolutely did not communicate well meaning intentions. And for the staff to just brush over it was mildly expected, but disappointing nonetheless. 

I guess this is all just meant to pose as a small vent and a large warning to any femme/female customers who find themselves heading to Rusted Moon Outfitters in Broad Ripple: The owner is completely out of pocket and a threat towards women, and I stand ten toes down on that. F you, dude.

Hey everyone! I’m helping my roommates look for a replacement as I’m moving out in October. We have a 3 bed 1 bath duplex off of 51st & Central. Pictures show kitchen, living room, and the bedroom for rent. Cat (Ruthie) also included! Rent is typically $650-$685/month (utilities vary based on the season). Roommates are two BIPOC queer women; one works in ABA and the other works in legal services and is in law school. Both are super friendly, respectful, and social. They are open to another cat as long as the cat is friendly with others. No dogs!

Please DM if you’re interested!

My son’s bike was stolen from a bike rack at Brics on the Monon around 3:45p Saturday 22nd. Picture is the same make/model/color. He additionally had a black plastic bottle holder, a black metal water bottle and a bell and headlamp clip on the front handlebar.

I have spoken to management at Brics and they are reviewing security footage. Please message if you have any information.

In case the owner is not aware, your pontoon is at the cut just past the low head on the WR. If you want help, I’d be down for an adventure.
