LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)Louisville mens basketball coach Rick Pitino told police he had sex and paid for an abortion for the woman accused of trying to extort him for $10 million, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported on its Web site that Pitino told police he had been drinking in a Louisville restaurant and had sex with Karen Sypher in August 2003. The police report said he denied allegations by Sypher that he raped her after the restaurant closed and at another time somewhere else. He said later he gave her $3,000 for an abortion.
Sypher went to police to report the rape allegations last month. A Kentucky prosecutor said the complaint she filed with a police sex-offense unit wouldnt be prosecuted because it lacked supporting evidence.

‘Three large’ for an abortion? Aside from being a repugnant act, the price tag does seem a little steep...
It must have been very late term so they had to make sure that the little baby organs and limbs were properly evacuated from the succubus tw**.
No good guy/gal in this story. Both worthless louses.
Condoms are 10 bucks,Rick

You can say that again. Wait. You just did.
Actually, the story says that she told him within 2 weeks that she was pregnant and that it had to be him, since she hadn’t had sex for 8 months. Besides the whole thing being sleazy, it makes Pitino look like a dope if he believed that story, after he has sex with her in a restaurant within 4 hours of meeting her!!
Notre Dame loves abortionists - The Fighting (for abortionists & islamists) Irish will love Pitino.
It’s really a shame that men get caught up in situations like this, which can easily destroy their lives and the lives of their families. Men should really realize that getting drunk with random women in bars and then sleeping with normally leads to no good.
Women can have second thoughts or concerns or ulterior motives...leads to lawsuits, criminal cases or worse. Lives ruined. And I’m a woman and saying this - I’ve seen it a many times.
She may have lied about being pregnant, but Pitino is a slimebal for screwing a woman he didn’t even know. Wonder how many other times he’s done it. A guy in a position like his doesn’t just “slip up” one time.
Does L’ville play Kentucky in Lexington this year. If so, it could be interesting.
‘No good guy/gal in this story. Both worthless louses.’
I’m disappointed to see that Pitino went this route. I remember when he was coaching Providence in the NCAA Tournament several years ago. He had a very, very young child - a baby son, I think - who passed away around tournament time. He stayed with his team until they were finally eliminated from the tourney before he went home to mourn and bury his child. After losing a child in such a tragic way, it’s unfortunate that he was involved in the premeditated death of another...
Does anyone know where his wife is at. She has disappeared all of a sudden.
Probably completely embarrassed and angry; if my husband did this, I’d “disappear” for a while too.
Well, his bio may give us some clues...
"Their son's death was not the last tragedy for Rick and Joanne. Both were especially hard-hit by 9/11, as Joanne's brother and Rick's closest friend, Billy Minardi, was working as a bond trader for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor of the north tower of the World Trade Center when it was struck by American Airlines Flight 11. Since 2002, UofL has designated a December home game as the Billy Minardi Classic, and the university named a dorm on campus as "Billy Minardi Hall". Only a few months earlier, another brother-in-law of Rick, Don Vogt, was killed after being hit by a New York City cab."
Clearly his experiences left him rudderless. It takes a good pastor to get a man through stuff like this.
There is a guy that runs this fan forum for the college football team I follow who received a frantic call from his wife that their 16 year son had just gotten killed in an auto accident. While she was speaking with him on the cell while she was driving a car ran a red light, hit her and killed her.
Life can be very cruel.
Whatever. While I feel sorry for neither in this dumb situation, filing a fake rape charge should be treated as a serious crime.
He should haul her pathetic ass in court for that one. If guilty, she should do jailtime.
Sounds to me like she was trying to shake him down for way more than 3000 and he refused to pay her more. Wonder if she really was really pregnant or the baby truely his.
