Ruh-roh
Despite being a Democratic Party precinct chair, i can't say i knew the names Joy Johnson or Joseph Craig well enough to place them until Mrs D showed me the photos they have posted on their website. The allegations against the couple are serious enough, although the sketchiness of the various news reports invite more speculation than clarity.
I'll note that the accusations did not prompt a whole lot of discussion that i could tell over the weekend. Whether that's because of the timing of the news (most people i saw on Saturday had not even heard about it yet) or whether Durhamites have learned that high profile allegations of sexual assault are not always what they appear to be is not yet clear.
One wonders, though, whether the commenter at the N&O who referred to the couple as "human scum" will be organizing a cacerolazo in the Watts Hospital-Hillandale neighborhood any time soon.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I am outraged. Surely this is a simple misunderstanding of their new-age therapy techniques. Freedom of religion, people!
