Oh, I grasped the theme all right. What I'm looking for is the story. What happened to this person? What was it they were speaking to the police about? What is being charged here? I have this suspicion that "I was called a pedophile just for wearing this outfit" is an oversimplification of what happened, and I say that without any suspicion of actual misbehavior on the person's part.
