Militant musicologist is suspended in prostitution sting
NewsThe Sheriff of Denton County, Texas, has charged 17 people in connection with online prostitution. One of them is the musicologist Peter Mondelli, who reportedly approached a woman online for a sexual encounter, only to find cops waiting with cuffs when he arrived at the assignation point.
Mondelli, a specialist in nineteenth-century music, French opera, media history, and critical theory, has been suspended from his position as associate professor at the University of North Texas College of Music.
In his campus activities, he was one of the leading activists in the ugly ‘anti-racist’ campaign to downgrade the Schenker expert Timothy Jackson. Mondelli was recently promoted to be chair of the two important governance positions, the graduate research committee and the faculty personnel committee. He is now on leave of absence until the case against him is resolved.
Not quite sure how a musicologist can be described as ‘militant’…
Because he was part of the group at UNT that tried to get Professor Jackson fired for an academic article. It’s called karma.
Creepy is a better adjective. He’s been known for years by that descriptor. Hence, this is not surprising.
known as a “creep” by whom…?
He should’ve realized it was a sting operation when the woman agreed to have sex with him even after he told her he was a musicologist.
He originally told women he was a trombone player but that didn’t work either
This is bullshit Texas law enforcement targeting the wrong people for the wrong reasons but making headline grabbing arrests that don’t do a damn thing to the actual problem.
If the police wants to stop human trafficking, then they should go after the human trafficking rings themselves, the traffickers themselves and more relevant, the actual real clients soliciting actual real prostitutes.
Here, there was no actual trafficked human involved, it was some fictictious virtual avatar on a screen. Where’s the actual trafficked victim? How are any of the real trafficked human victims helped? They are all still out there being exploited. How are the human traffickers punished? How has the real human trafficking ring been dismantled?
There are legitimate sex workers, and there are legitimate clients who seek out their legitimate services, and these stings catch only them.
Human trafficking rings rely on demand from American men. Texas law enforcement is acting correctly.
And you know this how?
It was a joint operation with Homeland Security. https://www.crosstimbersgazette.com/2023/04/03/17-arrested-in-denton-county-prostitution-sting/
Setting up Johns for entrapment. Where but Texghanistan. The state didn’t abolish its laws against homosexuality until it was ruled to do so in 2003 by the Supreme Court. It recently outlawed an abortion pill, and the governor recently pardoned a man who murdered a BLM protester in cold blood. Texghanistan combines Old South Bigotry with the thuggery of Old West cowboy gunslingers. Klansmen with cowboy hats.
This was a joint federal, state, local operation (see above).
It was about human trafficking.
The BLM protestor was armed with an AK-47, a club and a knife. He wasn’t out trick or treating.
From what I know, in the USA prostitution is illegal. Having seen many stings on the “Cops” reality TV show, where men are set up by undercover (not ‘underwear’) agents, I have long been appalled by this. It’s the oldest ‘profession’ in the world.
Unless this is an instance of pedophilia, leave this poor man alone. It sounds as though he’s miserable enough.
I was music student at UNT back in the 80s.
No where else have I encountered so many teachers who could not teach.
A welcome quality, as long as they stay militant.
Mondelli is part of the woke mob that will do anything to enforce their ideology on others. Morality doesn’t matter. Other people don’t matter. We will destroy anyone that disagrees with us.
What’s woke mean, for you?
Ah, so now we get to the heart of what has happened to him.
But don’t you know that sex workers are social justice paragons now? So say overweight American lesbians with green hair, presumably because no one in their right mind would ever pay for sex with them
His big mistake was asking for the senior discount
