Since selling my home in Newcastle, I have contacted PCS on three separate occasions, and each time it was pertaining to domestic violence or the degradation to my humanity. In each and every situation I was blamed, ridiculed and disregarded. The victim blaming and disregard of women's abuse destroys millions of lives every minute of every day. This rape culture is a societal problem in general, and more prevalent in Placer County than any place I've ever lived. Noteworthy is that prior to this, I've never reported any incidents, so I don't have a history of being a victim. Each situation is different, and in each situation the men felt entitled to violate me, but I wasn't having it, and why I'm going to do something about it.
Incident One
In 2000 I was selling my home and breaking up with my ex, who my realtor acknowledged was so ignorant he didn't even understand the transaction. We paid off all personal and business debts in the transaction and split the cash. Noteworthy is that his bad business debts were 75% more than my than my debts. Further, he had at least $150K in illiquid assets, so I was again getting about 1/4th of the settlement amount. When I asked for just 10K more in cash, since I wasn't requiring him to liquidate his assets, he choked me. My ex took off right after this, so he wasn't there when the two misogynist PCS officers arrived. I called 911 but immediately hung up. Upon reflection, this is actually the one and only time that I've called where someone actually showed up!
Two PCS arrived about ten minutes later. When I told them what happened they said: "If we have to come out here again we're going to arrest both of you." Prior to my ex choking me, there was never any violence in our relationship. And two weeks earlier he was crying, asking me to marry him. As an aside, Bob Marley, Mr. One Love, beat and degraded the women in his life when they expected him to be responsible for his children. And the FBI has about 14 file cabinets full of Martin Luther King, Mr. Non-violence, beating prostitutes and engaging in the most disgusting perverted sexual conduct you could possibly imagine. Normalized deviance is why my exes conduct was excused, and why he felt entitled to choke me when I stood up for my rights.
Incident Two
On 12/5/2011 I called the non-emergency number for PCS to report the disgusting conduct of a registered sex offender who was living at the place I was working in Newcastle. He hung around the office and helped out for about three weeks, and before I knew he was a creepy pervert with a record, we went to lunch a couple times. After going on a couple dates, I realized he was not ok. He became increasingly aggressive, going so far as to expose himself to me while I was working, and requested disgusting sexual favors. When I reported this to the dispatcher she reacted with contempt, because I've learned this is what happens when you report a sex crime, and she hung up on me.
She sent the officer to his location rather than mine, because she was so disgusted, and with me, not him! I told her what he did because this is what she needed to know, and why I was reporting this incident. Her conduct is typical of women who hate themselves, and each other, and she endangered my life by sending the officer to his house. My car was later vandalized, and when I attempted to report this, again I was dismissed. I did see the troll who who I believe did this and reported it, but it was dismissed at the time. And the sex offender's probation officer also dismissed my report but Facebook immediately took down his page when I reported it. The offender went off probation shortly after, however; he was recently arrested for doing the same thing I reported to them, which they dismissed at the time.

Incident Three
In 12/11 a predator lured me to his business, offering me a job, but he solicited me for prostitution instead. Like most predators, they are accustomed to exploiting those they think are vulnerable, and they usually get away with it. When I reported this to PCS, only after reflecting on it for a bit, I was violated all over again. The detective said the business owner was too old to hurt anyone, and he repeatedly asked me what I did for a living. He refused to take a report or investigate, and I wrote a letter to the sergeant in charge at the time. Again, this was only after I reflected upon the entire incident, and how wrong it was on so many levels. Also, after reflecting I decided this man's wife needed to be aware that her husband was a predator. Her response was; "I know my husband, and he'll try to get away with what he can, you must not respect yourself, or he wouldn't have tried." I respect myself very much, which is why I'm going to shine a spot light on the misogyny in Placer County. Read less read more
