Mike buddy, dial it back a bit. Not cool. (I haven’t forgotten, I’m not criticizing you any more, just trying to help.)

Agree. Many, not all, men are animals. Hope chicken liver Kaneshiro won’t get lazy (again) and get this guy probation (with some psychiatric help) as usual.
As long as the victim is alive, she will be able to testify against the assailant.
Send the guy back to the Mainland. Google em and see the tattoos. Punk!
Send him to an AZ prison.
Hope they put this perp away for awhile.
Just out of jail and tattoos covering his head. This type of relationship is all too common…..BAD BOY SYNDROME. When will women learn?
who knows? Maybe she was telling em to move on and he didn’t like that. Can’t get his way with her so… .
