No it wouldn't. That is just one piece. They still have to investigate to see if she has injuries and other things. Plus, a text at 5 o clock doesnt mean she was still willing at 7 o clock.

If only AJ was involved, it would make the prosecutor think twice before going forward, though, because that would be a tough hurdle to overcome for a conviction.

But, it wasn't just AJ involved unfortunately. I'm reading a lot of chatter that AJ may have had consensual sex with the accuser, but Williams did not have consent. If AJ participated in that, he is facing potential criminal penalties. So is Williams.

I think the police report claimed forcible rape against both, though, which would bring the texts back into play. But, I bet the prosecutor changes course on that. I would think that, if any charges are brought, they will involve rape against Williams, and something less like accessory to rape against AJ. This will allow the prosecutor to minimize the impact of the emails.

I am not a criminal lawyer, though. I just know enough to be dangerous.

Obviously that's what I meant. You are so perceptive. I thought I was hiding it. But you figured me out. Y'all are too damn smart for me.

It's apparent none of the men here feel anything for the fathers. Cause y'all haven't said one word about them until I commented on my feelings as a mom.

From the father of a six year old.

I love UT sports and UT football in particular and that was passed down to me and it is now my turn to pass it down to my son.

Several years ago I went shopping for a jersey to give my son and my choices were Da'Rick, Justin Hunter and Bray. I picked Justin Hunter's #11 because he seemed like a good kid and I thought he'd be the least likely to get into trouble.

He grew out of that one, so the second time around I chose an AJ jersey.

I wish AJ would have been sitting in my living room today when my son asked "dad, what did AJ do?"

To your point Volly, I'd be very disappointed in my son's choices and it would be hard not to think I'd failed my son. I don't know where it would go from there, but that would most likely be the starting point. It's sad all the way around.

I think it adds up to what I posted above. Maybe AJ had consent, but Williams did not.

The only thing that gives me pause on that is that the police report claimed forcible rape by both of them.

It doesn't look good on AJ if he was right there while Williams forced his way in.

Volly I understood what you where saying. I am a father of 3 ,two sons and s 12 year old daughter. I have not committed on this and will not! But as not only a parent but a father I feel for all those involved. Please pray for everyone because one way or the other someones life is over as they knew it

And how do you not feel like you're partially responsible? I know at some point kids make their own decisions regardless of how they were raised, but dang. Makes me want to put my kids in a bubble and never let anything bad influence them.

As a parent of 2 UT students, one of whom had significant health issues that COULD have resulted in us "putting him in a bubble", i found this Willam Shakespeare quote that fit our parenting style.

"A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once".

my rules:
1) Let 'em live in the world, but understand they will get hurt sometimes.
2) Teach him how to as a man how to respect a woman or girl
3) Do not tolerate racism, sexism or bigotry in your family
4) Reinforce personal responsibility at every chance
5) Occasionally they will go to bed angry at you, Good.
6) Win the battles you MUST win, the others are option.
7) Choose some battles to lose on purpose, but make sure they don't matter.
8) Let them make some mistakes, they will learn from them
9) Always ask them to do the best in everything
10) teach them how to say "I'm sorry" and show them you know how to say it too.
11) End every conversation you can with "love you son"

that's our formula. It's had it's ups and downs but overall, it's working.

Just spoke to a higher up in the athletic department. AJ and Williams will be back at practice tomorrow. There is no more discussion, this is a done deal.
The celebration can safely commence.

Is this meant to be in blue font? No offense brother but I'll believe it when I see the practice report.
