Full title: After sexual assault acquittal, video emerges of Mateen Cleaves dragging naked woman into motel room
Days after Mateen Cleaves as acquitted by a jury on four counts of sexual assault, the video used by prosecutors against the Michigan State basketball great has come to light.
The video, which can be seen in the news clip above, comes from surveillance footage taken between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m. outside the Knights Inn Motel in Grand Blanc, Mich., and was obtained by WXYZ Detroit through a public records request.
The jury in Cleaves’ trial was shown the video, but it was never released to the public until after the trial. The incident took place in September 2015.
Seen in the video is Cleaves’ unnamed accuser walking away from the motel in nothing but a bra, only to be accosted by Cleaves, who was wearing only socks. Cleaves grabs the woman and pulls her back into the room despite clear attempts to resist him.
A second clip shows a similar scene 13 minutes later, where the woman runs away from the room and is chased down by Cleaves. He grabs her with both arms and struggles to pull her back until she falls to the ground. Cleaves picks her up and takes her back to the room.
There is no audio in the video.

Who you gonna believe, the jury or your eyes?
Need we even ask about the composition of the jury?
I had to search to find out who this guy is, and why he got away with rape. According to Wikipedia, “Cleaves is best remembered for getting away with rape and his career with the Michigan State University Spartans (MSU).”

Ain’t justus by Intersectional Theory just grand? My guess many on the jury just hate the Beckys and their long straight blonde hair.
“What!? You never heard of ‘foreplay’ your Honor?”
Jury demographic ?
(insert reasonable guess here)
“How come you’re wearing socks?”
“Momma always said to wear something for ‘protection’”.
sexual assault ?
Obviously, he was pulling her back into the room to finish that game of chess...
“Mateen Ahmad Cleaves (born September 7, 1977) is an American former professional and rapist basketball player who played in six NBA seasons. ”
What is “rapist basketball”?
No law says that given the new evidence, you can’t indict him on kidnapping charges.
I’ll tell you the make up of the jury: basketball worshipers.
I wondered too...….put it down as racist and moved on … to the next racist incident. Like a cop being fired for trying to arrest a fat guy with heart problem selling individual cigarettes in NYCity.
Black anything juror...... no conviction for a god
A “rapist basketball player” is a high NBA draft pick.
Did the DA lose that case on purpose?!
Michigan state is now officially rape university in Michigan. Hear about Larry Nassar?
Wikipedia sure is getting edited quickly right now. LOL
So how did she get into the motel room in the first place?
