I'm going to try to word this carefully as I'm not a fan of flame wars.  

Hobbyist should be blacklisted.  
I have not read review but have two thoughts:  
1) Sexual assault is Never OK
2) Having review out there is information that other providers should want.

Obviously, I haven't read the review, but if it truly was an open and shut case of assault, aren't you glad you found it?

I also have a love hate relationship - I do not understand many of the rules, however am really clear on ONE TER RULE!!!!

Far too many generalizations and assumptions here to have an opinion.  Cut and paste the review.  Provide some more specifics or facts.  

Being raped is traumatic to say the least. I hope she got help overcoming the issues rape can and does cause. I feel no pity for rapists. Sadly rape is rarely reported and thus rarely punished. As I have no idea of those involved, nor have I read the review, I can't commit on the case at hand but I will state why it should stay up if it is a rape review. I do feel for the girl and wish her well.

If she's new or not well reviewed, maybe she doesn't even know it was posted.
Maybe he embellished the "fantasy" or the review is completely fake.

your post is merely hypothetical and therefore worthless.  You expect people to comment based on your perspective only rather than read it for themselves.  Since the review is staying up, its okay to link it to your post, so why not do it?  It seems like you're trying to shape opinion here to what you want to see rather than let us make up our own minds.

It was years ago but I found them and posted about them with links and everything. It got me moderated for a while. So I tend to believe her.

now.

Naturally Droopy Dog believes the claim, sight unseen because he is hard wired to believe the victim. I am sure if someone like OTM were to post he would jump to the opposite conclusion because of his built in bias, also sight unseen.

Some providers consider it sexual assault if the envelope is short $20.

for other providers. Any provider who screens using TER handles and reviews should be warned about NOT seeing this hobbyist.

and have argued with a straight face that it should be punished as such.  

Why should they ban him and remove the review. It IS a screening tool. You just used it to screen him out from seeing you. Isn't that a good thing? This guy should be talked about on the PO board, and he should be blacklisted, but I don't think TER should remove the review.  

Sounds like they're in the wrong industry if money can somehow make something not rape. The implication there is horrendous...

You did your research diligently, and avoided being alone in your room with said scumbag.  There may be no consequences for the bastard...yet...but smart providers like you can weed him out because the evidence is out there for all to see.  

I am in this weird space where I want the guy banned, yet if he was banned and I didn't have access to his reviews then I wouldn't have known how much of an asshole he was. I just hate hearing about behavior like this being left unchecked.  

We all have different definitions of "sexual assault" and most of the women and a few of the BSU's agreed sight unseen that what the guy did rose to the level of "sexual assault" but some of us with our nut sacks intact would like a lot more than your word for it that the guy really committed an act worthy of the ban hammer.

I agree with Gag, as usual. There's no reason not to link to said review, doing so only protects the reviewer.

Taking you at your word, you now have an unwritten obligation to at least let other ladies know the details.   They have a right to know if they may be walking into an unknown situation that can end really bad for them.

Does she not deserve to have her identity protected more than the reviewer?

Not even the perp.  Just his review handle so girls can steer clear of him.  As to "the lady in question," how is her identity compromised by someone knowing her stage name?

I've let ladies know in the provider board, as well as circulated the info to my MN ladies through other groups.  

I'm not sure how linking to the review or not protects the provider in any way. The review is under their stage name, which if she's practicing proper opsec, shouldn't connect to her real identity in any way. So really she's already well protected.

Minus any facts I spoke only to a hypothetical situation that I know has and does happen not to said reviewed rape of which I haven't read nor have a clue who is involved. I haven't taken sides on this thread as no evidence has been presented. I strictly spoke to the hypothetical given no facts are to be had.

I agreed it was wrong and was worthy of outing as a fucking thief. Theft of service is wrong and worthy of prosecution. It is worse when the service is intimate like this. I even called it near rape yet never rape. If your going to go at me at least get your facts straight.

But that is between TER and the lady. The review is up and it's info is out. Linking to it does not change things one way or the other. I would post the link but I haven't seen it.

Why not cut and paste the contents of the review so that we can see that?  Then it wouldn't be associated with the lady.  Unless, of course, it could somehow be traced back.  Maybe, but not to my knowledge.  

is when the client uses force to get sexual act the provider has stated is not on the menu. Any guy that does this is a sick bastard that should be beaten into an ER visit.  

Pretty well everyone and TER. Their logic is for a good reason!

In 2015, a man in the Australian Capital Territory was convicted of rape because his envelope was stuffed with cut-up paper rather than the $850 for the session. The court ruled that the fraud negated the consent.  

Probably against TER rules, given you need vip to read it.

If the review is active, it is the property of TER, not the reviewer, and not the provider, and can be linked by any member to a board post.  I repeat that it makes it look like you're trying to influence everyone's take on this without providing the facts, which is a bullshit move.  The fact that you're still trying to sell your position while keeping us in the dark about what the review actually says proves it.  If you want to have any credibility in the future, you need to like the review to this thread.  

....is where?? ?

The hobbyist should be banned and blacklisted. Out of compassion for those who were harmed we want to sheild them from any further damage by removing the review but we can't remove the review just because it's a bad and horrible thing that happened to them. I personally don't rely on anyone's previously posted TER reviews to screen, but a lot of us use that info to judge a potential date's character. The review needs to stay up.
