Ravenel Riches

Thomas Ravenel looks like a sweet, innocent guy, but in reality...

Ravenel Riches

Most people know Thomas Ravenel as a social lite in the Charleston, South Carolina area or when he was sentenced on federal drug charges. However, it seems as if this man is never punished the way others would be.

A few months into this year, sexual assault charges were brought upon Mr. Ravenel. These charges were from a former nanny that Mr. Ravenel had working for his family. She claimed that one night Mr. Ravenel had come home while his children were asleep and she was cleaning. He then turned the lights off to where she could not see and attempted to kiss her, she refused. She then says that things escalated quickly and "Although it wasn’t penile penetration, what he did do was identified by the law as first-degree forcible rape.”

No woman should never have to suffer through this and if they do, the man should be fairly charged.

Thomas Ravenel ended up pleading guilty to the charges and was only charged $500 and given a 30 day suspended sentence.

I hate to say it but even if Thomas Ravenel's last name was not Ravenel, he probably would have been given the same type of punishment. This situation (and worse) is becoming more and more common in the world we live in today, and women are encouraged to speak out even more now.

But it is almost as if, what is the point? This man pleaded guilty and was still not punished the way he should have been!! It is sickening that we live in a world, that this is so common and it is almost like men can continue to behave this way, because at the end of the day, nothing really happens.

The situation that happened to this woman is going to haunt her for the rest of her life. But Mr. Ravenel? Oh, he basically gets to just pay $500 and move on with his life...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
