Well it appears you did, on p.18 and again on p.21 of this thread:Malcolm wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2018 3:15 amNo. I stated that this was a matter for the courts. However, no criminal complaint has brought been against the man so far.TRC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 11:25 pmExactly you are guessing.

Well, you said:
I'm guessing that means you want him to go to prison and would feel satisfaction if he does. I'm also guessing you understand that he would be suffering there, right?
Just to refresh people's memories. I'm not the only one who has stated that Sogyal should spend time in prison. I recall Malcolm stating very categorically the same in this thread, on at least two occasions.
Malcolm wrote:I don't see any enlightened people in this game, neither Sogyal, nor the students. It is useless to pretend to be enlightened. It can be compassionate to toss someone in jail.
I agree with both of your statements, and in fact said as much, that it would be a compassionate outcome for Sogyal.Malcolm wrote:Sometimes people need a serious time out. Jail can be good for that. However, do not read that as an endorsement for the penal justice system as its stands in the US today. It is way too racist.
If anyone needs a "serious time out" in jail as you put it, then it's Sogyal. He has been continuing the abuse for more than three decades. Not even the Jane Doe case was cause enough for him to check himself. Instead he continued with the abuse and it became more extreme and widespread.
Also, there is a case being mounted in France, although I am not sure whether it is criminal or civil. In fact, in recent developments in the case Rigpa's lawyer is suing the complainants lawyer for defamation. So this illustrates they are in complete denial still of any abuse occurring. This is the same management team who covered-up an enabled abuse. This gets back to the original point, do you want to attend Rigpa for teachings knowing they are still denying abuse occurred?
