Her story is a perfect example of why the horrifyingly immoral way some Christian groups handle sexuality is worse than the sins they're supposedly protecting against.

I do wonder about her descriptions of the legal side, though. I don't know what state she's in, but her descriptions of the legal process ring improbable to me. At the least, there's stuff she may not realize is going on that would make things less clear to an outside observer. I have a hard time believing, for example, that a charge of domestic violence wouldn't be admissible because it was "pre-divorce." Maybe this took place longer ago than it seemed, but having practiced family law in a southern state (including some rural counties therein), that's not how it works anymore.
