A former Cedarville University finance professor whose writings promote a Christian ethic of marriage and sexuality was arrested Tuesday on eight sex-related felony charges involving one or more minors.

The indictment, filed March 27 in Ohio’s Greene County Common Pleas Court, charges John Kent Tarwater with two counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery and three counts of gross sexual imposition.

He was booked into Greene County jail in southwest Ohio, where he remained in custody as of Wednesday morning. No defense counsel was listed in public court records, and no hearing or trial dates were disclosed.

Yes they are.

When the oligarchs want to fuck children, and pour global resources into keeping themselves out of jail while they fuck children, it’s a goddamn ideology.

My political ideology is also not what you would consider a political ideology, it’s “guillotine the bastards,” and on the political spectrum, it starts at the top, swoops to the bottom, then we get a new head basket.

The global oligarchs like many things. Some like children, some like crepes, some like yachts. But these things are as much political ideologies.as the Professor we're talking about is a global oligarch.

I get that you want to raise your disdain of something with every chance you can get, but some times the context will make for such a stretch that your words will becomr devalued by your intended audience.
