Hello and Happy Thursday, folks!Audience Editor Edgar Ramirez here, back in your inbox with the latest update on the false accusation that brought the government to Pete Buttigieg and Chasten Buttigieg’s door.Christopher Wiggins reports that an Indiana prosecutor has declined to charge the woman who made the child welfare report, concluding that she could not form the criminal intent required for a conviction.Marshall County Prosecutor E. Nelson Chipman Jr. acknowledged that the complaint triggered an intrusive investigation of an innocent person and his family. But in a July 29 email to Indiana State Police, Chipman wrote that the woman’s history of alcohol abuse, hallucinations and delusional thinking left prosecutors unable to prove that she knowingly made a false report.While prosecutors say they cannot prove criminal intent, questions remain about why authorities acted on an allegation that lacked basic credibility, Christopher writes.As promised, we'll keep you updated as this story unfolds.Stay safe and we'll see you next time, folks!Trump’s $5,000 midterm campaign promise is an immediate flopHasan Piker's 'meat pic' was on full display at the Republican National ConventionDocument dump shows anti-LGBTQ+ groups helped craft Maine school district’s anti-trans policiesKen Paxton’s new anti-trans attack on James Talarico is literally fakeSeattle could soon protect non-monogamous relationships under civil rights lawGillian Anderson shares that she is pansexualTrump admits anti-transgender attacks are one of GOP’s ‘great sound bites’James Talarico walks back trans athlete position, citing ‘safety’ and ‘fairness’A lie about child abuse separated Pete Buttigieg from his kids.
