Do you know who was accused of sexual assault in this thread/story? I don't think a name was provided. How do you know it wasn't a kid signed in the last 2 years?
Riyad Jones signed in Butch's 1st class.
Tell ya what. I'll keep stirring the pot and maybe the answer will surface between the beef and the veggies.
LOL
You can't use the principle of doubt to fuel your argument. The author of this article chose not to disclose the players name so you cannot include him for or against....As for R. Jones, he was asked to transfer from the program and he was a player signed by Butch in his first class that was thrown together with less than two months til signing day while trying to flip arguably the worst roster we've ever had. Also worth noting he hasn't seen the field in over a year. So please continue to tell me how Butch has done such a terrible job recruiting high character people into his program.
Nevermind you this team has the highest team GPA ever and has doubled the community service done by any team ever. But hey, you keep up with your agenda.
All that, of course. I'm getting a picture of a young lady that wants to "fit in". Bringing the police down on a lot of other people would not be fitting in. I'm just suggesting it could influence her decision of not going to KPD.While not going to the police initially and even now doesn't completely destroy her case, the lack of even one witness to support her accusation does. None of her friends appear to be a witness and if she went to the party alone probably supports the witnesses that says she pursued him.
I'd say 99-100% of the VN posters in this thread would want a rapist to be severely punished if not hung. Your "fight" seems to be against evidence and due process though. Both you and Crusse 10 seem to automatically believe the alleged victim's version while convicting UT even though their has been no proof it happened as she now tells the reporter. As I said a few posts back; I have spent well over 3 decades around evil people. I have no sympathy for criminals of any type but particularly despise rapists so my "fight" today is not to support them. I have learned to value due process however as I said earlier there are many, many cases where the truth was far from the initial allegation. And no, I didn't track and maintain graphs showing percentages. Suffice to say it is not uncommon. And as many have pointed out already remember the Duke lacrosse players or the Rolling Stones case recently. Remember Tawana Brawley?
and yet if everything in there is factually accurate and he raped her and UT didn't handle it properly and brushed it under the rug?

How do we know she wasn't drugged?
It IS rape to have sex with someone who is mentally incoherent from alcohol in the state of Tennessee.
"The last thing she remembers before blacking out was taking a selfie with the football player at the party. She woke up lying face down on his dorm room bed as she was being sexually violated, the spaghetti strap of her top torn. She remembers slipping in and out of consciousness."
Tell me where the consent is?
This thread is frustrating and disappointing. Maybe it's a generational thing, I don't know.
Guys go out and drink and party and it's cool. Girls do the same thing and become targets of guys who can't keep it in their pants. Which one ends up with the blame........
If UT didn't handle it properly then they almost certainly violated the current perversion of Title IX as interpreted by the current degenerates infesting the US Dept of Education office of civil rights (the office responsible for enforcing title ix), which means the girl could sue like so many other jackpot justice seeking false rape whiners are doing across the country.
Of course, it doesn't appear to me that she would look too favorably upon a lawsuit, in that process, and unlike any of the reporting options she has carefully selected so far, you have to actually make your claims under oath subject to perjury.
Second-right now due to the absurd title ix regulation changes made by the extremists in OCR after Obama took office, collegiate administrative hearings as it relates to sexual assault are the most favorable, stacked deck, and just plain rigged legal/administrative proceeding (in favor of the, almost always female complainant, and against the almost always male accused) that exists in any legal venue in this Country. If she couldn't prove her case in one of these kangaroo courts, where her burden of proof is the lowest that exists, she isn't subject to perjury, she isn't cross examined, the accused can't subpoena anything (like phone records, facebook messages, etc), or compel anyone to testify, etc. then it's unreasonable and irrational to consider her claims to be anything other than highly unlikely, at best.
