Erick Morillo

Re: Erick Morillo

I'm not defending Morrilo, but this Krysten could have managed the situation differently. You would have thought that with all of the rumours in the industry Sanchez, would have been more switched on.

Nice bit of victim blaming there.

Well actually yes you are defending him

No, I am not. Krysten, comes across as someone that likes attention. I've been in some states in my time, but I have always been able to order a cab. Uber make that even easier, yet she decides to go back into the house. To label her as the Ashley Judd of dance music is a bit rich.

Re: Erick Morillo

^^^ That is what you said before and I would give you the same answer. To judge her behaviour against yours doesn't pass the pub test as we say here in Australia .

Re: Erick Morillo

“naked known rapist follows you outside crying for you to come back to his mansion in Sobe.” and instead of using your smart phone you go back into the house.

hindsight is always 20/20 but what did she stand to gain for staying vs leaving? i’m just wondering what possible thought processes were?

im not blaming her for his depraved acts

Re: Erick Morillo

Morillo must have had a reputation already and I'd have hoped any female with any knowledge would have avoided him like the plague. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but based on those warning signs Kristen should have walked. He'd made a pass at her, ran out after her naked and then instead of getting her friend and them both leaving she started DJ'd again at his house with him.

Was it Kristen's fault she was raped ? 1000000% not - Morillo sounds like an absolute predator that just couldn't stop himself - the Bill Cosby of dance music and then some. Sickening and makes you wonder if there's others out there, although not on anywhere near his level.

Should she have seen warning signs and left ? Absolutely.

Re: Erick Morillo

I was waiting for you to turn up. As soon as you say "She should have", and you did, it becomes victim blaming.

Re: Erick Morillo

If I walk through an area that people have said to me is notorious for muggings and then have a close run in with a pickpocket but persist in walking through there, only to be mugged and am told that with hindsight "I should have" turned back then I'd say that in some way I had been careless and put myself in a bad situation I could have avoided.

Are you saying Kristen did the right thing in deciding to DJ with a guy that has just come on to her, then chased after her naked when she has a partner because the victim can never be blamed?

She should have left with the other girl, and retreated away from the situation as soon as she could. She wasn't to blame, but crikey ... she seems to be lacking common sense and was careless - something she will now regret for the rest of her life.

Re: Erick Morillo

Also - the womans boyfriend should have told her not to go over to his house.... 27 years of that behavior is certainly enough time for Morrillo to have had a reputation, at least among those who were close to him. I'm sure there is more to the story, there always is, but as it reads in that article, the woman must have been under the influence of drugs and or alcohol to have gone back into Morrillo's South Beach mansion after he pleaded for her to do so without any clothes on. Because the naked crying should have been enough to confirm the rumors the man is not right in his mind.

Re: Erick Morillo

. He raped her that is all that needs to be said. I'm shocked that you all keep trying to justify his behaviour. As I said you guys just don't get it.

Re: Erick Morillo

My remarks on the article were purely based on the fact that the woman was giving her testimony on the series of events, and as it reads, it comes across really odd. But odd choices don't take away from any of the facts. Rape = prison.

She may have made some bad choices, but that in no way diminishes the fact that Morillo is a rapist... again amazing the reputation was 27 yrs old.

In no way did anyone 'justify his behaviour' .. he was a predator that clearly should have been stopped a long long time ago.

Are you saying that based on (i) his reputation (ii) the extreme history with drugs (iii) Morillo already forcing himself on her and (iv) his running after her naked in a worrying emotional state - the right thing to do was go back into the house and stay, then DJ with him.

As kids you're told never to go with strangers - so it isn't "all that needs to be said". As adults, when the danger and warning signs are there, everyone .. male or female ... do the common sense thing and leave. And also when people are on a night out, look out for each other and make sure people get home safe - especially where worse for wear and vulnerable.

Also if a crazy fucked up naked DJ (no matter how famous they are) forces himself on you and runs after you naked ... get your friend and leave so you don't end up with 'victim blaming' debate because something truly horrific happened.

Re: Erick Morillo

Guy Gerber now

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1809244722522472

The incident I will talk about took place in the morning of 21st of July, 2013 in Mykonos, Greece and at the time I was 28 years old.
Having received an invitation by a girlfriend of mine from Athens, Greece, I decided to join her and couple of other friends for a boat trip to Mykonos.
I had met Guy Gerber about a year and a half prior to this through a mutual friend while he was in London to play a gig. Since we first met we had briefly hung out in other social environments couple more times. On the way to Mykonos I heard he was there but didn’t think much of it as my plan was to stay with my Greek friends.
As we arrived to a party some of my London friends were there and Guy was with them. The night was quite a disaster so I remember all the details very vividly but to keep it short we didn’t stay long.
We decided to leave with some of the London crew and Guy back to a girlfriend’s villa where he was also staying. Guy and another DJ friend played for us there.
I remember clearly Guy spending a lot of time talking to other mutual friends about the hard time he was having in Ibiza as that was the summer he was doing his first event on the island Wisdom of the Glove at Pacha.

As the last guests left and I was going to leave too I realised that my phone battery had died but the owner of the house and her fiancé were in the far end of the pool so I thought I would stay a little longer until they came out.
He was just finishing playing so I came to sit next to him and that’s when he offered me, what he said was a line of a stimulant drug and a shot of alcohol. Seeing as I was sober and tired I thought it might not be such a bad idea. I never had any romantic interest in him nor any attraction and all of our exchanges until that point had never indicated anything of this nature so I felt safe to hang as a friend.
So when about 10-15 mins later I saw him leaning in to kiss me I felt totally shocked and immediately wanted to push him away but unfortunately I could no longer move my arms even if my head was screaming. Next and last thing I remember is him putting his arm around me and walking me to his bedroom as my consciousness dimmed down to complete darkness like a dimmer switch.
I regained my awareness about 4/5 hours later, waking up in total confusion next to him naked in the bed with zero recollection of anything that happened but sharp pain between my legs. Bruising that remained for almost 3 days and which I vividly still very much remember 9 years later. I managed to get myself together and go ask for the phone charger so I can charge my phone and make my way back to the boat where I was staying. Fleeing as quickly as possible.
When I got to my friends I immediately started having an emotional breakdown as I felt really confused and disorientated. At the time I had no idea what Rohypnol was or how it works so I had to reference to make sense of how I went from being sober and consuming a stimulant to sleeping with someone I didn’t desire and have no memory of it.
My boyfriend at the time then called me and said he was having horrible nightmares about me and asking if anything bad happened. I told him what happened and that I had no idea how it happened… and soon enough disassociation and repression kicked in as defence and like many women who have had these experiences I decided to pretend like it didn’t happen and continue life as usual.
So much so that even when I saw Guy again I acted like nothing had happened.
Very soon however I began depressed, self-destructive and my relationship became very toxic.
Within 6 months I knew I needed to get out of London and try to understand what was going on with me and luckily at that very time I received an offer to work for a project outside of the UK, which gave me the quiet I needed to begin the process of healing.
Couple of months into my time there, I happen to stumble on an article about date rape and an account of a girl who was given Rohypnol…that’s when I first realised and began to accept what happened to me as word for word I had the same experience as she did and finally the confusion was gone.
Since I accepted what happened to me I began to talk about it with friends and acquaintances but never felt the courage to go public as I am doing now.
Couple of those friends also knew Guy and confronted him about it, to which he responded by exclaiming ‘Rumors!’ And painting me in a bad light with false stories.
Wanting to redeem myself for not speaking out and preventing this happening to other women I began to feel inspired to create an event and a movement to make this island safer for women and to take a stand against abuse.
My intention going ahead with this is to stop more women from being raped like I was and helping Ibiza become a leader in taking a stand against this toxic culture.
For the health of our future generations and for the music.
