CARLY RYAN

1992-2007

MURDERED BY AN ONLINE PREDATOR

            On 20 February 2007, Carly Ryan, aged 15, from Adelaide, Australia was murdered by Garry Francis Newman, aged 50. He had lured Ryan to a secluded beach, she thought she was meeting up with the Brandon the young man online she had fallen in love with for the first time. However, when she got there, Newman bashed her until she was unconscious and threw her into the water.

            Newman was a divorced father who was living with his mother. He had created a fake account online, using the name Brandon Kane, a handsome young guitarist from Melbourne, Australia. He made the account to prey on underage girls. For 18 months, Ryan chatted to Brandon, he also created Brandon’s stepfather ‘Shane’.

            In 2007, Ryan invited Brandon to her 15th birthday party, Newman (pretending to be Shane) attended and told Ryan that Brandon was overseas and he gave her lingerie and a nurse’s outfit. After the party, Ryan told her mother that ‘Shane’ had touched her inappropriately and she rejected his advances. Sonya wrote an email to ‘Shane’ and told him to stay away from her daughter and he replied with anger. Sonya took away Ryan’s access to the internet and her phone. Ryan, however, was already in love with Brandon.

            Newman was so angry that Ryan had rejected him that when he returned to Melbourne he told his oldest son, that he was going back to Adelaide to ‘fix Carly up’ he wanted his son to help him but his son refused. He then asked his younger son to help him, Newman and his son went to Adelaide and ‘Brandon’ convinced Ryan to meet him at Port Elliott.

            Ryan told her mother she was going to be at her friends place for a couple of nights. When Ryan arrived at the beach she realised that ‘Shane’ was there but not ‘Brandon’. Newman killed Ryan and her body was found in the shallow water of the beach. The autopsy revealed that she died of drowning and craniofacial trauma.

            Police arrested Newman and raided his Victorian home, they found him online using his ‘Brandon’ account to chat to a young girl in Perth. They discovered he had 200 different online personalities that he used to lure young girls.

            Newman was found guilty and was handed life behind bars without a 29 year non-parole period.

            Ryan’s mother started the Carly Ryan Foundation in 2010 to bring awareness about the dangers online as well as helping bring in a law where it’s illegal for an adult to use a fake name to talk to anybody underage.

Essay : DinBo is another Star Wars take on courtly love!

The Accolade by Edmund Blair Leighton (1901)

The concept of courtly love has long been a recurring theme in literature and storytelling, and it finds its way into the vast galaxy of Star Wars. While Leia and Han, as well as Padme and Anakin, have been prominent examples of such romances, the relationship between Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze introduces another Star Wars take on courtly love. It is often compared to other notable courtly love couples like Jonerys from Game of Thrones.

According to Francis Newman in The Meaning of Courtly Love, vii: Courtly love “an experience between erotic desire and spiritual attainment, a love at one illicit and morally elevating, passionate and disciplined, humiliating and exalting, human and transcendent.”

Din and Bo’s relationship can be seen as a representation of courtly love, a concept that originated in medieval literature and poetry. It typically portrayed a noble knight who fell in love with a high-ranking, unattainable lady, and their relationship was often characterized by chivalry and devotion. While Bo and Din’s relationship might not mirror all aspects of it, its core elements are very well present : 

1/ Unattainability: Courtly love often featured a love interest who was unattainable, typically due to social status, marriage, or some other obstacle. In the case of Din and Bo-Katan, she is the leader of Mandalore and carries the responsibility of reclaiming her homeworld, Mandalore. She is seen as a hero and has a noble lineage, making her an influential figure in Mandalorian society. Her elevated social status, leadership role, and reputation contribute to her unattainability. Meanwhile, Din is a foundling and a bounty hunter, which creates a social divide between them, reinforcing the notion that they come from different worlds.

2/ Adoration and Service: Din and Bo both display their attraction through non-sexual deeds with a big emphasis on the eyes and the glances they give each other, especially since it is the only thing we can notice when they are wearing their helmets: 

In many scenes, Din is shown admiring her from afar, for instance when in awe of her skills as a warrior : 

source: @supermarvelgirl15​

He respects her leadership and goes to great lengths to assist and protect her, offering his services and support in her mission to reclaim Mandalore. His actions demonstrate his devotion and desire to serve her, just like a knight in shining beskar would serve his lady. He does heroic deeds of valour which win her heart: he saves Ragnar, fights in the sky with her, gifts her the Darksaber and fights Gideon by her side.

 3/ Chivalric Code: Courtly love was closely associated with chivalry and the knightly code of conduct. Knights were expected to demonstrate virtues such as bravery, loyalty, and honour (does that right a bell?). Similarly, Din embodies many of these chivalric qualities. He is courageous in battle, displays unwavering loyalty to his allies and Bo, and adheres to his personal code of honour, following The Way. Just like a Middle Age knight, his own religious beliefs are challenged when meeting her: he finds out about the existence of the several ways of being a Mandalorian with some removing their helmets and others not. We know that he feels this want of showing his face to those he loves because he showed it to Grogu in hope to finally attain real intimacy with him (a state a security of which he was robbed as an orphan) and maybe later with Bo while also wishing not to break the creed?

  4/ Declaration of passionate devotion :

In his pledge, Din emphasizes that his love for Bo-Katan surpasses superficial aspects such as the Darksaber, station, or bloodline. Instead, he places honor, loyalty, and character as the true measures of his devotion. By declaring that her song is not yet written, Din pledges to serve Bo-Katan until her destiny is fulfilled, showcasing his unwavering commitment and willingness to sacrifice for her. There was no need for Din to be all poetic like that if he didn’t courtly love her <3.

5/ Secret love that is not so secret : When Bo-Katan asked for volunteers to retake Mandalore, Din stood up for her in front of everyone, showcasing his unwavering support and loyalty to his lady : 

Additionally, their physical proximity at the bonfire, sitting extremely close to each other, suggests an intimacy and closeness that goes beyond mere friendship or camaraderie : 

The way people refer to them as a pair further emphasizes the perception of their relationship by others. Whether it is the way they interact, the unspoken understanding between them, or the chemistry that is palpable to those around them, their connection is evident and acknowledged by those who observe them. 

However, despite the undeniable bond between Din and Bo-Katan, their romance remains unfulfilled due to their differing priorities and the challenges they face. Their respective paths and responsibilities may require them to focus on their individual missions : her leading Mandalore again and him teaching Grogu. However, it is worth noting that while their love story may be unfulfilled at present, the potential for its development and resolution remains.

This isn't satire. Pope has been smoking the rainbow smoke 🚬 🌈

A London-born teenager who died of leukaemia in 2006 is set to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint, after Pope Francis formally recognised a second miracle attributed to Carlo Acutis.

The late teenager, who moved with his family to Milan in Italy when he was a child, is known as the patron saint of the internet among Roman Catholics and has been referred to as “God’s influencer”.

According to a Vatican statement issued on Thursday, the miracle being recognised involves a Costa Rican woman, Liliana, whose daughter Valeria Valverde, 21, suffered severe head trauma from a bicycle accident in Florence on 2 July 2022

The Vatican says that Valeria underwent critical surgery and had slim survival chances according to her doctors. Liliana reportedly prayed at Carlo Acutis’s tomb in Assisi on 8 July, while her secretary had already begun praying to him.

That same day, according to the Vatican, Valeria started to breathe on her own, and the following day she regained some movement and speech. By 18 July, a CAT scan showed her haemorrhage had vanished, and she entered rehabilitation on 11 August, making rapid progress.

Pope Francis has announced a meeting of cardinals to discuss making Acutis a saint, according to the Vatican statement.

In 2020 he became the youngest person in the modern era to be beatified (the first step to being made a saint) after purportedly curing a Brazilian boy, Mattheus Vianna, of a serious birth defect that made eating difficult.

Acutis created a website to catalogue miracles and managed websites for local Catholic organisations in Italy before his death from leukaemia in 2006. He was 15.

“Carlo was the light answer to the dark side of the web,” his mother Antonia Acutis told The New York Times in 2020 after he was beatified and put on the path to sainthood in the Catholic Church.

Ms Acutis said that at the age of seven, he began attending daily mass. Her son’s life, she said, “can be used to show how the internet can be used for good, to spread good things”.

After Acutis’s death, the Diocese of Assisi petitioned the Vatican for his sainthood. They examined his emails and computer search history and interviewed witnesses while awaiting miracles to support his cause.

In February that year, Pope Francis credited Acutis with the miraculous healing of a Brazilian boy with a malformed pancreas after the child reportedly touched one of Carlo’s shirts.

According to a 2017 report by the National Catholic Register, only 120 of the more than 10,000 saints recognised by the Roman Catholic Church died as children or teenagers.

The Vatican has not yet announced a date for the formal canonisation ceremony.

Before Acutis, the last saint born in England was Cardinal John Henry Newman, who died in 1890 at the age of 89. He was canonised by Pope Francis in 2019. According to the Catholic News Agency, the first miracle attributed to Cardinal Newman was the inexplicable healing of a deacon with a severe spinal condition.

The second involved a pregnant American woman who recovered from a life-threatening diagnosis after praying for Newman’s intercession, with doctors unable to explain her sudden recovery.

What do you believe would have been the most likely outcome for both Hamilton and Laurens (separately) had their relationship been discovered at the time?

While interesting, this question is phrased extremely vaguely. And so, it all really depends under what circumstances were they discovered - because there are a variety of options or endings depending on the situation - like who found out, or how? Many first expect an immediate death sentence should any slight homosexual inclination be dedicated, but this is quite an oversimplified viewpoint in the hindsight of full historical context. So, I'll run you by a few possibilities and different situations.

Discovered through letters or an act of affection.

It was commonly known throughout Washington's family that Laurens and Hamilton were incredibly close that they were nearly inseparable. According to Hamilton, the military family thought they had a sort of “partnership”;

I have conveyed your reproof to the lads. They have considered me as the secretary of the family and fancied a partnership which did not exist. Writing or not writing to you, you know they love you and sympathise in all that concerns you.

Source — Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens, [September 12, 1780]

Whatever they had imagined Hamilton discerns it. There have been some suggestions about it perhaps being speculation that Hamilton was exploiting Laurens for his wealth, [x] but would it be too farfetched to speculate they meant a romantic friendship?

A romantic friendship is/was a very close, but non-sexual relationship, between same-sex friends who often shared a degree of physical or emotional closeness. During the colonial periods of America, or even other contemporary Western societies; same-sex romantic relationships were oftentimes socially acceptable if remaining semi-righteous, such as abstaining from sexual acts, and not interfering with heterosexual marriage. @thelittlelionofvalleyforge has an amazing and more in-depth post here that you should read, as it delves into the topic a bit more. In the historical time period of communal bunking and platonic yet expressive letters, intimacy between the same sex while remaining entirely platonic was common and seen as a “licentious Greek love”. [x]

And this form of friendship wasn't uncommon in the army either. Baron Von Steuben - who Laurens and Hamilton were quite close to - was greatly fond of his Aide-de-camps while serving in Washington's army, that it is believed he was romantically inclined with two of them, Benjamin Walker and William North. The Baron met Walker his first day at Valley Forge, recalling; “If I had seen an angel from Heaven I should not have more rejoiced.” [x] And the two became quite close, as well as with North who Walker was in a relationship with. Although Benemann makes the suggestion that Walker and North could have had a romantic friendship that edged into some sexual intimacy;

At a distance of over 200 years, with only the evidence of a large but scattered and incomplete body of correspondence, it is impossible to prove the nature of the relationships which developed between North and Walker, and between von Steuben und each of the two young men. It appears that North and Walker enjoyed a romantic friendship which included sexual intimacy. North was more deeply emotionally involved in the relationship than was Walker,

Source — Benemann, William E. Male-Male Intimacy in Early America: Beyond Romantic Friendships. United Kingdom, Taylor & Francis, 2014.

While Walker and North were more romantically inclined to each other, it is often a debate about where Steuben stood in the relationship. Further on, Benemann made the claim that while Steuben was attracted to his “angel”, Walker does not appear to have been sexually interested, and says that Walker envisioned the bond as more of a mentorship or fatherly affection.

Another example of a romantic friendship between two soldiers during the Revolution was Bulkley and Newman, a scarce recount of their relationship was made by Alexander Garden - another associate of Laurens's - in the Anecdotes of the Revolutionary War in America, which he wrote. Garden describes the two's relationship as “that excited the highest interest,” and was “the singular and romantic friendship which united two of the most distinguished soldiers of the Legionary cavalry.”

Bulkley and Newman were natives of Virginia, born in the same neighbourhood, and from early infancy united by such a congeniality of sentiment, that it almost appeared as if one soul gave animation to both. Their attachment increased with their years—it strengthened with their strength. As school—fellows they were inseparable; their task was the same, and he who was first perfect in acquiring it, was unhappy till he had impressed it, with equal force, on the mind of his friend.

Source — Garden, Alexander, and Field, Thomas Warren. Anecdotes of the American Revolution: Illustrative of the Talents and Virtues of the Heroes of the Revolution, who Acted the Most Conspicuous Parts Therein. United States, Books on Demand, 1865.

They were both mortally wounded at the battle of Quinby Bridge, on July 17, 1781; “they fell on the same spot, and, with united hands, reciprocating kindness to the last, expired.” [x]

With that being said, romantic friendships were not universally accepted, and there were still cases of them being found unacceptable (In regard to subjective religion and just culture from different states or countries). Especially if to breach the priorly stated decrees, which was if they were discovered to have been carried out with sexual acts or invading a heterosexual marriage. So, why we aren't sure this is what the military family was referring to, it is possible. But even so, if Hamilton's or Laurens's letters were discovered by someone getting their hands on them (An average letter, as I'm sure there's no disguising the true intent of the speculated five words on the April 1779 letter), they could quite easily be shrugged off as platonic, or that could be the excuse they would use for themselves. There would need to be more concrete evidence for action to be taken, although it would leave an open door for disparage and rumors to spread.

Discovered through sexual intimacy.

This is where matters start to become more severe but also complicated. With the freedom the 18th century proposed with expressions of friendship - like romantic friendship and communal bunking, especially in times of war - it offered leeway to disguise any sexual involvement in their relationship, while still having relative freedom to express romantic sentiments. But this did not work for those who were caught in the act, like Anderson and Enslin. Of the 3,315 cases listed by James C. Neagles in his index of Revolutionary War courts-martial, only two can be identified as sodomy prosecutions, and neither were executions. That leads Benemann to speculate as to whether sodomy was truly an immediate death penalty resolved sin as many seem to assume, or if sodomy was truly as common in the revolution as some believe. Another argument he makes is;

or perhaps most sexual contact between men was private and consensual, and came to the attention of courts-martial only when a complaint was filed. Both the Enslin and the Anderson cases appear to be cases of sexual assault.

You can read about the Enslin case recorded by Berlin here, but to briefly cover the Anderson case he is referring to—There is a recording of John Anderson of the Maryland Line, and his court-martial, 13 April 1792, in the orderly books of General Mordecai Gist;

At the same Court held the 9th Instant, was tried—John Anderson private in the Maryland Line—For Sodomy—The Court are of oppinion, that he is guilty of an attempt, to commit Sodomy, and do sentence him to Run the Gauntlope three times thro' the Brigade—the General approves the Sentence, and orders it to take place this Evening at Roll Call.

‘To Run the Gauntlope’ refered to the corporal punishment of ‘run the gauntlet’, which means the party judged guilty is forced to run between two rows of soldiers, who strike out and attack them with sticks or other weapons.

Although the claim that the military was reluctant to punish private and consensual sexual acts between men, doesn't stand outside of Enslin's case, as there are no mentions of Anderson's case being a case of sexual assault. Notably, Enslin and Anderson were ruled two different forms of punishment with different levels of severity, as Enslin was drummed out, but Anderson merely received corporal and humiliation punishment. This could be due to rank, as Anderson was a private and Enslin was a Major, or rather that Enslin's case was an assault case. Nonetheless, it was ruled out and specified as Sodomy. Once again, @/thelittlelionofvalleyforge goes into a deeper analysis on the historical definition surrounding “attempted sodomy”, which I suggest you read. Benemann also made the suggestion that perhaps men in homosexual relationships refrained from committing sexual acts to avoid getting caught and sentenced.

But this cannot apply to either Laurens or Hamilton, as there are implications in Hamilton's and Laurens's letters that they did share moments of sexual intimacy, with Hamilton's venereal mentions of his dick; “his size, make, quality of mind and body, achievements, expectations, fortune, &c. In drawing my picture, you will no doubt be civil to your friend; mind you do justice to the length of my nose and don’t forget, that I ___.” [x] And the high chance surrounding the five missing words confirming Laurens had seen his friend's dick. Or just other implications with metaphors like the depravity of a lover's touch;

But like a jealous lover, when I thought you slighted my caresses, my affection was alarmed and my vanity piqued. I had almost resolved to lavish no more of them upon you and to reject you as an inconstant and an ungrateful ___. But you have now disarmed my resentment and by a single mark of attention made up the quarrel.

Source — Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens, [11 September 1779]

So, there were still chances of the two getting caught in the act which boarders on heavier severity than what was my previous point about fluttering language in letters, or simple acts of affection. But evidently, they took some precautions as to not get caught since they seemingly made it through the war with only 20th century historians speculating about their relationship. And as I said, it depends on who finds them under what circumstances. Acts of affection would be much more excusable aside from provoking a few rumors, but if someone close or who valued Hamilton and Laurens (Some of the aides, or Lafayette) caught them in the act, they would likely not speak about it so as long as the case was consensual sex. Also, there could be an unwillingness to question anything further because of their value to the army. Depending on the beliefs of the said person, it could encourage some strain, but with the lack of reported sodomy cases implies that some must have been quiet about it even if spotted. Which was another point of Benemann's;

Perhaps the military chose to treat such acts of sexual misconduct on the subjudicial level, as an internal matter not to be shared outside the confines of the unit. Unwillingness to bring shame and infamy on a unit might have motivated commanding officers to deal with homosexual transgressions in ways that skirted the usual procedures of military justice. If such conduct resulted in a court-martial, it was certainly possible to hedge and obfuscate in such a way that the official record revealed little about the true nature of the proceedings.

Similarly, to what Benemann says; “Courts could use strong but vague terms such as “filthiness,” “scandalous behavior,” In Washington's army there was a court-martial on the charge of lewdness in the barracks described as “great habits of indecency.” This leads me to believe that it may have been all likely outcome if their actions were presented to someone who was more than just a forgiving acquaintance, or brother in arms—But rather General Washington, himself. I think Washington would do as Benemann suggested, which was call it something else to lessen the severity. Because the greatest contrast from Laurens and Hamilton in comparison to those like Anderson and Enslin (Other than the latter's consent), was that their positions and necessity were in a much higher respect. If two of Washington's most valued aides were found to be committing such impropriety in his ranks, it would not only propose damage to his name and trust or reliability to govern the army, but he would lose those two most valued aides and their abilities. In an act of self-serving utility, Washington would likely sugarcoat their case as nothing more but ‘conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman’. Which was to disgrace the guilty personally or brings dishonor to the military profession affects his fitness to command the obedience of his subordinates so as to successfully complete the military mission.

Thomas McCoy of the 7th Pennsylvania Regiment was tried for repeated disorderly conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, embezzling the state's money, and other financial crimes (Found guilty of a breach of the 21st Article, 14th section of the Articles of War), he was sentenced to be discharged from service. [x] And while it's arguable that “sexual independency” would be equated with financial crimes, something similar would have likely become of them like a court martial and their discharge from the army. But if they proved more necessary to Washington, then it likely would have resulted as a suspension from the army for a year.

In the case that none of this happened, they would probably have been drummed out shamefully and never allowed to return to military lines, like Enslin. This would affect their lives severely; Hamilton would have lost the opportunity or marriage in general with Eliza as there would be no way General Schuyler would permit such a union. And it would have likely been a heavy burden throughout his life, making him a way less of an influential figure and forcing him to resort to become a merchant - despite his income preferences - since he would be desperate for wealth stability, and had the qualifications to become such anyway. Laurens would be disowned without a doubt, as much as he was his father's golden child, this would taint the family name, and Henry would have to resort to Harry as the heir.

In any case, while sodomy cases were usually unfairly ruled out, and usually meant as an example to keep your indecencies hidden to not disgrace the army—Different cases vary between results of discovery, and it was not always a straight sentence to the gallows especially during the revolution, contrary to popular belief.

TL;DR, they could have easily excused their letters as nothing more but expression and declarations of friendship, unless it was a heavily explicit one. And if they were caught in the act, a friend would have likely be disagreeing but kept quiet about it. But if it was Washington, he likely would have tried to lessen the costs and sugarcoat the situation, for his own and the army's benefit. But in the case, they were dealt with a drumming out, their lives would have been forever burdened, and many aspects would have changed. But we don't know for sure.

Hope this helps.
