Twitter Engineer Denies Rape Charges

Dana McCallum, a software engineer at Twitter who has also become a voice for gay and transgender rights, was charged with sexually assaulting her wife, according to the San Francisco Examiner.
McCallum has pleaded not guilty.

The charges brought back on Jan. 29 by the District Attorney’s Office included three counts of spousal rape, one count of false imprisonment, and one count of domestic violence, according to the Examiner.

The couple were going through a divorce, McCallum's attorney told the site:

... McCallum’s attorney, John Runfola, says the case is simply about money.

“I’m just disgusted that, you know, this is going on,” Runfola said. “Dana is an employee [at Twitter] and is about to come into a large amount of money. … This whole thing is about money.”

The couple had been separated, he said, but were still having sexual relations. McCallum served her wife with divorce papers the day before the incident, Runfola said.

My advice to anyone who is going through a divorce is be cordial to your soon to be ex but do not have sex with them or share any information that they can throw in your face while the divorce is still in process.
