It’s the same situation. You accept the Not Guilty verdict but refer to the debunked complainant as a “sexual assault” victim. That was his girlfriend.

I'll admit, I didn't realize it was the same case. I'm a big believer in due process working the majority of the time (even if the outliers are the ones that get talked about the most).

I still don't think Butch's treatment of Drae Bowles was the right way to handle it. Bowles dad was a policeman, Bowles knew what the process was and he was willing to believe someone that was telling him she was a victim. Ultimately, Drae needed to be protected here as he did a very courageous thing by doing what he thought was right.

The true details are a lil murky. Did Butch leak it to the rest of the team after telling Bowles to stay hush hush because the team would think he was a traitor? Or did AJ’s buddies find out on their own as it is so easy to do on a college campus? I lean towards the latter and Bowles didn’t help himself by telling a different story to the police than he did testifying during the lawsuit. Kind of a “were you lying THEN or are you lying NOW” debacle.

I agree, Drae did himself no favors publicly. I don't think the culture of a team should be "We protect our own at all costs and handle discipline internally."

It should be, "We are a brotherhood that stands for a creed and we will follow that culture, even if one of the brothers betrays our creed."
