In brief, as an 18-year-old sailor in March 1996, Steven got drunk on shore leave in San Francisco and ended up at a co-ed dance club for the under-25 set.
There, a sexual predator with several priors offered him a ride back to the ship across the Bay Bridge, tricked him into coming to his apartment, likely drugged Steven, tried to rape him, refused Steven's pleas to stop and died in the fight that followed.
So now he's been in prison for 14 years, and despite being a model prisoner, was denied parole.
I don't like to talk about III'per things like this, but I think it needs saying (in a Mike Vanderbough warning sort of way). If the balloon ever goes up, there are a lot of people who, thinking they're above all of the mundane concerns of ordinary folks, will find out that there are a lot of long memories out here in the hinterlands.
