I signed the letter and I fully stand by everything it says. I have talked to Yifan and I feel sorry for her and believe her.

It was well known, and well discussed that women in the scala community knew to warn other women about Jon Pretty. I have heard this both directly and indirectly from multiple prominent women in the Scala community.

Could you clarify this for me? How does speaking to those who claim to have been harmed by him serve as proof that he indeed committed these harmful acts?

Additionally, if these individuals were harmed - why didn't they report it to the police?

Is there any evidence that corroborates these claims? Additionally, do you or any of the other signatories possess a legal background that would enable you to review this evidence and confirm its credibility and the truthfulness of the claims?

If such evidence exists, why haven't these individuals pursued legal action, and why hasn't Jon been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?
