It's pretty believable. I wouldn't have thought to flag a potential employee based on crimes that someone else did.

It's one thing when your father rapes and tortures a young child a thousand miles away and you have no contact with him. It's another when it's over the course of several days, in your own home that you were staying in, while claiming to have no clue AND then you hire your father as an election manager. It probably didn't help the husband is also a prolific writer of pedofilic fantasy.

  I did not know that aimee was born in 1997, nor can I find when her father's crimes actually transpired, other than that he was convicted in 2018. My initial impression was that aimee was a transwomen well into adult hood (an adult complicit in these crimes). This whole thing is going to blow up spectacularly if it comes out that the father committed these crimes when she was in her teens, and she is a product of being a victim in an abusive household.

    When convictions and crimes are being investigated there's room to have doubt or not speak up, exigent circumstance, etc. Still doubling down years later as an otherwise functional adult removes any ethical cover.

      I don't understand, did she double down that her dad was innocent/what he did was ok? All I am aware of is that she says she did not know it was happening. And frankly if she was only 15 or something at the time, I would likely believe her. I would also leave open the possibility the she was being abused too, and feared retribution.

She hired a family member awaiting trial for raping and torturing a young child to a governmental position. That decision should be enough to flag any potential employee for having bad judgement.

It's pretty believable. I wouldn't have thought to flag a potential employee based on crimes that someone else did.
