When Sarah Harris went in for surgery to remove her wisdom teeth in the summer of 2020, she must have thought she was in good hands. The oral surgeon she chose, Dr. James Ryan, had years of training, a good reputation and a thriving practice near her Washington, D.C.-area home. As a new patient at 23, she may never have dreamed he’d allegedly watched her when she was just 14. And Ryan would do more than take out Sarah’s teeth. Her family says he would take her self-control and eventually take her life.
Explain to me your understanding of the article. I don’t know how he’s a pedo because she was 23, and the only reference to her being 14 was the mother who said that he said She was pretty. My point is that this article is very heavy-handed, and was carefully written to sound like she was 14 when any of them started. She was 23
Other people have explained it to you, and the article is right fucking there for you to click on and read, which you’ve ostensibly already done. I’m not going to waste my time further with a person like you.
You realise it’s an article about a TV series which only quotes a grieving mother and a retired cop right?
Maybe take another look at the article with just a modicum of scepticism.
No one has explained anything. Someone said he raped her but nowhere in the Article does it say that. It’s just a lot of quotes from the mother, who understandably is pissed off. But even the article said that none of her statements could be corroborated.
Believe me, I’m not defending him For giving her drugs, I’m just criticizing the writing.
Just gotta get the last word in huh? You fucking blocked bro.
lol
Rage quit LOL.
Here, I’ll take this up. The article also quotes text messages between them wherein he admits he injected her with ketamine himself while she was asleep.
You are monstrous for defending this monster.
This message? That’s not what this says.
If I asked someone to give me ketamine, and they did, I would go to sleep. If I woke up and wondered where they were, it would be nice of them to have left me a message saying they’d just gone to get changed and would come back.
OTOH if someone gave me ketamime while I was asleep in order to control me somehow, they probably wouldn’t leave me a message telling me they had done so.
I’m not defending HIM, I’m criticizing the article for trying to paint a different picture. He’s definitely abusing drugs, and helping her abuse drugs. He’s definitely guilty of supplying, and probably assisted with the dose that killed her.
But, he’s not a child molester, as the article suggests. And, he’s not “grooming” her. The mother sure didn’t complain when he took both of them on vacations.
He’s just a really irresponsible person who knows better.
You downplayed his actions with the drugs as “irresponsible” (earlier and again now) and only talked about him making drugs available to her rather than forcefully injecting them when she couldn’t consent.
He predated on a very young patient. Whether or not the mother’s claims about his comments are true, he is clearly a manipulative monster.
The article talks both about the evidence and the mother’s statements. You look really bad here.
You telling me that I look bad to you doesn’t mean anything to me. There is nothing that anyone can say that can make me feel bad.
What other word would you use besides irresponsible? That seems to be the right word. His irresponsible actions led to her dying. That’s not downplaying anything.
I don’t consider 23 to be very young.
The mother seemed perfectly fine with all of this when it was benefiting her.
Ah. So you’re basically an edgy 14-year-old. Good luck with the growing up thing. Try to stop victim blaming someday.
Not what’s happening.
You’re claiming the article is saying something by quoting her relatives. Weird.
“How dare them spin this with their interviews of the victim’s family!”
She loved his money too. Sold her daughter for it.
Yikes
Wow I’m feeling sorry for you my dude. You’re correct and everyone is too dense to read the article…infuriating.
Honestly sometimes getting downvoted to oblivion on Lemmy is a key indicator that you’re not 14 and have some life experience beyond selfhosting a minecraft server.
The article is a promotion for a docudrama.
Of course what happened to her is truly, genuinely sad, but millions of young women lose or ruin their lives over drugs every year. They don’t get their own docudrama because they’re less pretty, or less relatable, or have less respectable abusers.
lemmy reading comprehension strikes again
Elaborate
The only person that claims there was some kind of a relationship prior to the guy and girl meeting is the mother.
If there was any strong evidence to this story it would have been tested in court. The article specifically says that was not the case. Which means it’s basically heresay about his interest in her when she was 14.
This article just sensationalises that piece of information instead of focussing on the real crime which was a doctor giving his potentially addicted partner drugs.
Exactly.
