"Later on that evening, officers say they arrested Faith Clifton, a 19-year-old white female of San Francisco. Faith has been booked into San Francisco County Jail on possession of stolen property, methamphetamine and fraud charges."

That sounds like someone was arrested and charged to me.

I'm sure that she was. The question is, were those charges related to EJs apartment? EJ claims not. That the police made a statement that someone was charged for something, is most emphatically not a statement that someone was charged for the crimes committed against EJ.

That this over-one-month-old, ambiguous statement is the best that AirBNB has to offer, is pretty damning and leads me to believe EJ, not AirBNB. That AirBNB keeps sending it out lends credence to EJs belief that AirBNB doesn't give a shit and is just PR-ing the whole thing.

Either way, this "journalist" did nothing but reprint a PR blurb with zero fact checking or even awareness that there is another side to this story.

But it's unclear what her involvement in this is. Was she one of the perpetrators (and if there was more than one, as EJ suspects, where are the others?), or was she someone who received stolen property from them? Hard to say at this point...
