My parents recently pointed out to me that some misinformation about them had been spreading online; it's since taken on a life of its own and morphed into petty internet gossip. I wish I hadn’t had to write this, but I wanted to make some things clear https://jia.blog/listen-i-wanted-quar-gossip-too/
I am grateful for everyone who read this with kindness & generosity & I am so sorry, I don’t know how else to say it, that other people find that generosity to be repellent. If you wish my profile was lower or think I don’t deserve the hype I've gotten, know that I agree
(Please no one be nice to me here or it'll make it worse)
Last thing I’ll say: people are digging into the first, monstrous indictment, tweeting it as truth, not considering how these cases are built. That’s a tiny fraction of the multi-year case documentation. None of the claims of trafficking & horrible mistreatment withstood scrutiny
For example, these are the full charges in a second superceding indictment, for what would have been their second trial
