San Diego Dollar Tree incidents spur charges and nationwide lawsuit over in-store sexual misconduct

Three women in a Clairemont Dollar Tree report being approached from behind and having a substance smeared on their clothing in March 2025; a 22-year-old man has been charged with misdemeanor lewd conduct and sexual battery and has pleaded not guilty. In San Diego Superior Court, a lawsuit alleges Dollar Tree is part of a nationwide pattern of similar in-store sexual misconduct and cites related incidents in Lemon Grove and Spring Valley and online notoriety. Dollar Tree says it prioritizes safety, cooperates with authorities, and denies negligence. Police have not identified all suspects, some surveillance details are unclear, and national coverage that surfaced after The Guardian’s reporting helped amplify the discussion.

Batemates Behind the Screen: A Safe Space for Queer Gooning

A WIRED profile of Batemates, a $17.99/month, ad-free app where men connect to masturbate together online, pitched as a safe, community-driven alternative after Zoom and Skype crackdowns. Users join rooms, turn on cameras (with some face-mandatory options), and are moderated; sign-up includes ID checks and a focus on privacy, ethnicity filters, and kink-based rooms. The platform frames gooning as a communal, non-performative form of pleasure and aims to expand with a web/mobile version as it grows beyond niche gooning culture.
