NADIA VS. EDWARD — FINAL HEARING SUMMARY
October 27, 2026 • Magistrate Kelli presiding
I questioned Edward about touching Nadia’s face. He replied, “I do not recall touching her face.” Jessika then questioned Nadia about why she had not fled, used a stronger weapon, or called guards immediately. Nadia explained that she was surprised, wanted him to leave, and used the broom readily at hand to avoid a physical confrontation. My objection during this questioning was sustained.
Jessika presented Edward’s boots as evidence supporting his account. I challenged the suggestion that he needed help removing them. Kelli allowed the boots into evidence but ultimately found that either person could have removed them.
In closing, I asked the Court to weigh the conflicting testimony, distinguish unwanted contact from physical injury, reject enslavement without proven lawful grounds, and consider Nadia’s later conduct separately. Jessika disputed Nadia’s credibility and sought Edward’s release and possible enslavement of Nadia.
Kelli dismissed the case for lack of conclusive evidence from either side. He clarified that the judgment applied to both parties; neither account had been proven.
Nadia’s alleged disobedience of orders to remain in Turmus will be addressed in a separate trial after the festival. Kelli stated that disobeying the Ubar could be considered treason, but made no finding of guilt. He did not place Nadia under arrest and instructed her to remain in the city.
Kelli also refused Jessika’s request that Edward be notified if Nadia were later enslaved so he could consider purchasing her. After adjournment, Dexter congratulated me on my efforts to keep Nadia from being collared.

[8:47 AM] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Whether or not you are from Torvaldsland, you are a woman, and are far weaker than a man such as Edward. I am going to assume you have the common sense to fear for your well being when you are threatened. Is it not true that, in fact, you simply stood there, outside your home, waiting for guards? You didn't run. You didn't hide. Instead, you simply stood with a broom, as if you, a mere woman, could defend herself against a tall, strong warrior of a man. Why didn't you hide, Nadia?
[8:48 AM] EdwardK3nway Shakes my head. not scared of any man? But yet you change your customs in fear of a collar from men that have power to do so. You cover your selfs in proper southern attire and wear vails, Put your hair as it should. If you feel you have no fear over men Why abandon your trovie ways? You are some the smallest trovie I have ever met.

[8:57 AM] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods at Nadia and responds to her comment. "Why did you not defend yourself in your own home, then, Nadia, before other people arrived? Why did you supposedly wait until after he had gone outside? Why did you not grab a dagger, or a hairpin, or something more powerful than a broom and attempt to chase him away, which you legally could have done?"

[8:58 AM] Nadia (nadiastorm) held her gaze, her expression tightening slightly as she considered the question. “I was taken by surprise in my own home. I had been preparing supper and had stepped outside to empty a basin when I became aware of his presence. I took up a broom, not as a weapon of war, but as what was readily at hand to protect myself. I had no reason to believe I would need a dagger or any other weapon in my own dwelling.” She paused, drawing a steady breath. “As for chasing him, I wanted the man gone from my home, not to engage in a fight that might have ended far worse. I told him to leave and made it clear he was not welcome. Must a woman risk bloodshed to prove she felt threatened in her own home?”
[8:59 AM] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) gazes at Kelli. "The point is, Lady Nadia's description of her behavior doesn't match that of a woman who had been assaulted. She didn't run and hide, she claims, because she was of Torvaldsland. But she didn't grab a weapon and attempt to defend herself, either. She's asking us to believe contrary things, sir magistrate. That is the purpose of my questioning."
[8:59 AM] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) turns back to Nadia. "
Tell me this, lady Nadia ... why did you wait to call the guards? Why did you not call for them the moment he entered your home? Did he cover your mouth? Or were you simply unafraid of Edward, for you knew him to be an honorable man who would not assault you?"

[9:00 AM] Kati Evans: I object
[9:01 AM] Nadia (nadiastorm) drew a slow breath, keeping her composure despite the weight of the questions. “Advocate, I did not call the guards immediately because I was taken by surprise and was trying to understand what was happening. I had stepped outside to empty a basin when I discovered Edward's presence. My first concern was to make him leave my home, and I told him plainly that he was not welcome.” She paused, her fingers tightening nervously together. “No, he did not cover my mouth. Nor did I know him well enough to judge whether he was an honorable man or what he might do. I had no reason to expect a stranger in my home, and I reacted with what I had at hand. I did not wish to provoke a physical confrontation if I could avoid one. "
[9:01 AM] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Objection sustained.
[9:02 AM] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) looks at Nadia, then at Kelli. "No further questions, your honor."

"Your honor, I present the boots that Edward wore on the day of the encounter with lady Nadia. These are firm boots, sturdy and fitting snug. They would have been difficult for sir Edward to remove. They are proof in his favor, because Lady Nadia claims that she casually allowed Edward to come into her house , to sit down comfortably on her couch, and to take his time removing his boots without Lady Nadia stopping him. This must have taken awhile, and yet she did not reported attempt to stop him from doing that."

[9:15 AM] Kati Evans: "Magistrate, this case concerns Lady Nadia’s right to protect her home and person. Nadia testified that Edward entered without invitation, ignored her requests to leave, caressed her cheeks and lips, tugged her clothing, and pulled her closer. Edward did not admit to that contact, and his testimony did not directly address those allegations. I ask the Court to weigh Nadia’s testimony alongside Edward’s account and determine what occurred. Her description of resisting him, taking up a broom, and calling for assistance deserves careful consideration when weighing the claim that she intended to seduce him. ...
[9:15 AM] Kati Evans: Nadia acknowledged that Edward did not push her through the doorway and that she suffered no physical injury. Those acknowledgments do not withdraw her allegation of unwanted contact. Section 2.2.1.1 defines assault as “PHYSICAL ATTACK THAT CAUSES HARM,” while Section 2.2.1.2 defines battery as “NOT CONSENTED TO PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ANOTHER PERSON.” If the Court finds that the contact occurred as Nadia described and was without her consent, I ask that it assess that conduct under the applicable law. Absence of injury does not establish consent. ...

[9:15 AM] Nadia (nadiastorm) listens..
[9:16 AM] zCS # [Mod] MixedGirlBunny Resident [RP] logged into the region.
[9:16 AM] Kati Evans: Edward claimed that Nadia invited him inside and removed his boots, yet he did not provide the words of that alleged invitation when asked. Nadia testified that he removed his boots himself. His bare feet alone cannot resolve those competing accounts. Nor does his remaining at the scene establish innocence, or Nadia’s remaining near her home establish consent. ...
[9:16 AM] Kati Evans: Nadia’s later conduct also requires consideration. She attempted to leave Turmus despite the Ubar’s order, explaining that she intended to obtain hair dye for her shop in Valaris and return for trial. The warrior interpreted her offer of coins as a bribe. I ask the Court to consider her actual words and intended purpose before determining whether bribery was established. ...
[9:17 AM] Kati Evans: Her subsequent departure from the locked jail is a serious matter. Kelli ordered her return, and she is now back in custody. Nadia will comply with the Court’s orders. In mitigation, I ask you to consider the strain of the trial and her distress at seeing Edward at liberty while her complaint remained unresolved. This does not excuse disobedience, but it warrants consideration when determining a proportionate sentence for any proven wrongdoing. ...
[9:17 AM] Kati Evans: Those later events do not establish that her original complaint was false. Each allegation should be judged upon its own evidence. ...
[9:18 AM] Kati Evans: Finally, the defense has asked that Nadia be enslaved and awarded to Edward or transferred to a slave house. Section 5.7.5 limits the circumstances in which a free woman citizen or resident may lawfully be collared. Edward is not Nadia’s Free Companion and had no independent authority to collar her. An accusation of slavish behavior alone does not establish lawful grounds to take her freedom. ...
[9:18 AM] Nadia (nadiastorm) took a deep sigh....
[9:19 AM] Kati Evans: Magistrate, I ask you to uphold Nadia’s complaint to the extent supported by the evidence, hold Edward accountable for any unlawful conduct established, and reject enslavement unless lawful grounds are proven. Judge Nadia’s later actions separately, with fairness and mercy, while preserving her right to seek justice for unwanted contact within her own home. " Ends and walks back to stand by Nadia.

My client is an honorable man who travels the world, working on ships, and bringing his good and pleasant views with him wherever he goes.
[9:23 AM] Nadia (nadiastorm) coughs..
[9:23 AM] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): In contrast, Lady Nadia is not honorable. She had been ordered to remain in Turmus while the trial was being continued. Instead, she attempted to leave Turmus and, when a guard did not allow her to leave, she attempted to bribe the guard. This has been documented by the Rarius Arcadius of Turmus, and is known by the magistrate of this court.
Should we trust a woman who would do such things? Should we believe her when she says Edward assaulted her? No, we should not believe such things.

He is the victim of Nadia's duplicity, and he should be set free today to return to his home or, if he desires, allowed to enslave the woman Nadia for what she has done regarding him and the integrity of Turmus itself.

"The court has reached it's decision. It finds that no conclusive evidence has been brought forth by either party. Though a pari of boots have been brought forth as evidence they could have been taken off by the defendant as easily as the plaintiff. So in the case of Sir Edward and Lady Nadia in which one claims the male entered her house uninvited and the male claiming that she invited him in to seduce him. It is found to be hearsay and the case is dismissed, Due to lack of proof from either side . However, the fact that Lady Nadia tried to leave the city after being ordered not to is another matter.
