Just so you know, Denice in John's wife, she also caused some problems in the Houston Lolita comm. She thinks her husband can do no wrong

I wish people would put more emphasis on the money and the stealing than the "sexual harassment". TBH all these sexual harassment claims sound just all like little girls screaming "he said the sex word to me and I felt threatened".

I met John a few times and yes, he's very forward, but he's also very easy to put in place just by saying "stop, I don't like those jokes".

Btw that story about the baby stuff going missing is true. It was confirmed by a baby SF shop girl who was working during the time of the incident. Apparently the box was from baby SF, not directly from baby Japan.
