An update about the alleged serial rapist who targeted gay men in Palm Springs, CA on hookup apps

The court proceedings against accused serial rapist Hakan Isik are advancing, and Raymond Lafleur, moderator of the Gay Men of Palm Springs California Facebook Group, instrumental in connecting the dots of the case, returns to The Snowstorm to update us.
The court proceedings against accused serial rapist Hakan Isik are advancing, and Raymond Lafleur, moderator of the Gay Men of Palm Springs California Facebook Group, instrumental in connecting the dots of the case, returns to The Snowstorm to update us. Plus, Lafleur and Producer/Host Nicholas Snow will discuss the series of cryptic emails Snow received as the result of the first episode PromoHomo.TV® broadcast about the subject matter.
BACKGROUND REPORTING
As Jake Ingrassia reported for KESQ June 2, 2023, “Hakan Isik of Desert Hot Springs was charged with violently attacking five individuals over the past year, and additional victims have now come forward to share their harrowing experiences.”
June 15, 2023, Ingrassia reported, also for KESQ, “Isik is accused of being a serial rapist involved in multiple violent and sexual assaults. He faces 9 felony and misdemeanor charges spanning 5 victims, including the sexual assault of a Palm Springs man who said he met Isik on a dating app. If convicted, Isik faces life in prison.” The alleged rapist was held on a $1 million bail on this date.
The local GAY MEN IN PALM SPRINGS CA Facebook group was instrumental in connecting the dots, and even victims in this case, and that group’s creator and moderator, Raymond Lafleur, appears in The Snowstorm to update viewers on latest developments. The group as over 13,000 members.
Explains LaFleur, I started an online community for gay men in Palm Springs at the beginning of COVID. It evolved into a valuable resource for people to maintain social contacts, to promote factual information about the epidemic as well as local restrictions and guidance. It’s also a resource for gay owned small businesses and entrepreneurs to promote themselves, make the community aware of local events, and to recommend local services. The group is also involved in local issues which affects the community of gay men such as assisting law enforcement in the arrest of a serial sexual assaulter in the Palm Springs area and working with the many victims involved to the issues surrounding the proposed Palm Springs AIDS Memorial.”

The Great Political Divide: Can we come back from Trump's destruction of civility?

A recent meme posted to Nicholas Snow’s public Facebook page featuring a photo of E. Jean Carroll with the text, “I just grabbed him by the wallet!”, has garnered at the time of this announcement 861 likes, laughs and hearts, approaching 400 comments and over 200 shares. Within the comments thread the discourse is far from civil, with the polarization of American politics on full display. Nicholas Snow believes Trump is to blame for the complete breakdown of civility in our country.
IS there a way we can have intelligent conversations with people who disagree with us? We’ll test it out. on this episode of The Snowstorm as we mix up the panel a bit. Watch LIVE and we’ll curate your comments into the broadcast.

Protecting LGBTQ+ Youth: How one Riverside County, California Coalition is stepping up

Nicholas Snow (he/his) is honored to welcome Lex Ortega (they/them), Director, Community Programs, The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert, to this episode of The Snowstorm to discuss important policy work of The Center and its community partners and allies. They will also be previewing a vital upcoming event, the news of which was announced this week. (Be sure to visit www.TheCenterCV.org for more info about their important work).
Thursday, February 8, 2024, the Riverside County LGBTQ+ Student Safety Coalition will host a virtual candidate forum for the Riverside CountyBoard of Education. All candidates currently running for a trustee seat in the Riverside County Board of Education have been invited to participate in this forum. The following candidates have confirmed their participation: Bruce Dennis, Maliha Williamson, and Jennifer Mejares Pham.
2024 marks an important election year. To ensure you have the information you need to cast an informed vote, the LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert (The Center) together with Coalition partners Transgender Resource Advocacy Network Service (T.R.A.N.S.), Alianza, Rainbow Pride Youth Alliance, IE Prism Collective, Our Schools East Valley, Equality California, SBX Youth & Family Services, Riverside Pride, Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, IE United and Expanding Identities Development – invites all Riverside County residents who are interested in learning more about the candidates’ positions to this virtual forum.
The coalition – which seeks to protect LGBTQ+ students across Riverside County and believes schools should be safe spaces for learning regardless of students’ sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression – will be asking each candidate questions related to their priorities on student safety and their commitment to protecting LGBTQ+ students.
In 2023, over 500 anti-trans bills were introduced and considered across the United States. This unprecedented, rapid increase in attacks on LGBTQ+ rights across the nation, and in our backyards, has had devastating consequences for trans people, and trans youth in particular. A national survey on LGBTQ youth mental health found that nearly 1 in 5 transgender and nonbinary youth attempted suicide and 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. The survey also found that fewer than 1 in 3 transgender and nonbinary youth found their home to be gender-affirming.
Given these alarming statistics, and an increase of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation around the country and even in Riverside County school districts – in October 2023, the Riverside County LGBTQ+ Student Safety Coalition sent a letter to the RiversideCounty Board of Education showing its commitment to LGBTQ+ students. The coalition strongly opposes the discrimination and misinformation used to propose, implement, and enforce harmful and dangerous anti-LGBTQ+ policies in schools, such as those recently enacted by the Murrieta Valley Unified School District and Temecula Valley Unified School District, which require forced outing of students who may not be in safe environments, and reject LGBTQ+ inclusive education and information.
The forum will be moderated by Lex Ortega (they/them) from The Center and Erika Ruiz (they/them) from The IE Prism Collective, two community activists with a deep understanding of LGBTQ+ issues. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions to the candidates through the webinar registration link.
