“Arrest is effected when reasonable suspicion is met”.
No, reasonable suspiciaon only allows a cop to speak with you. It must rise to the higher standard of “probable cause” for you to be arrested.
The additional evidence was probably him speaking to the police and admitting to a consensual encounter. Her age was the issue in that charge, even if consensual on her part.
But the fact remains,,, women these days sure seem to have the interesting habit of visiting the hotel rooms of famous athletes, whom they do not know personally. You really don’t see these guys going out to the street and dragging these woman into their rooms by force.
Yes, for most other crimes, that is true. But, I was speaking about cases of domestic assault/rape. In these cases (and in most states that I'm familiar), "reasonable suspicion" is all that is required, by statute.
In most states, if police can identify the aggressor, and have a reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred, then they're empowered, by statute, to effect arrest.
“You really don’t see these guys going out to the street and dragging these woman into their rooms by force.”
But you do see them dragging “these women” into restrooms while their posse stands guard outside to prevent friends of said women from intervening.
