Three U.S. Marines were arrested and booked in New Orleans Thursday and Friday (April 27) on rape charges, after two women reported to police that they were raped by a group of men earlier this month.
Antonio Landrum, 18, was booked with third-degree rape, Jared Anderson, 18, was booked with first-degree rape, and Alexander Davenport, 20, was booked with two counts of first-degree rape, according to court records.
The suspected rapes occurred April 15 at one of the women's homes in the 6100 block of South Claiborne Avenue, according to police. A Tulane University campus alert sent out shortly after the crimes were reported said the women were a Tulane student and her "guest."
The two women were at a bar in the 1000 block of Broadway Street on April 14 when they became "highly intoxicated," according to police and affidavits for the men's arrest warrants. Video surveillance from the bar showed one of the women stumbling, appearing to be "moderately intoxicated/impaired," while the other woman fell on the ground and was "highly intoxicated/impaired," the warrant affidavit says.
One of the women said she remembered leaving the bar and going back home with her friend and a man, who police identified as Landrum.
Landrum had sex with both of the women, according to the warrant affidavits. Some parts of the court documents describe the sex as "consensual," but the documents also say that Landrum "forced" sex with the women, that one of them asked him to stop but he didn't, and that she shoved him away.
According to the warrant documents, Landrum then invited three male friends to the home.
One of the women said one of the men who arrived, identified by the victim in a later photo lineup as Davenport,

From a Night at the Boot to a Lifetime in Angola.
That place was a dive 30 years ago. (I used to live a few doors down)
No. Never would happen.... I remember trying, and sometimes succeeding, to stop my friends. When the women is just as drunk and wants it it is very difficult.
It’s still there.
I lived a couple blocks away while at Tulane.
You could drink at the boot until your 8:00 a.m. class.
In general one should avoid associations with people whose idea of a good time is to get completely plastered. I supposed with young people, it's understandable. But once someone is past the age of 30, they should know better. Nothing much good comes from immoderate drinking.
I used to start out at Tin Lizzy’s before heading on to AT II’s. Sometimes finishing up at Fat Harry’s.
And women never do things when drunk like take three Marines home for an orgy and then feel guilty later when they look in the mirror.
Oh, no. That would NEVER happen.
I’ve not been there. When I moved down here in 03 those days were gone for me.
I was there ‘80-’83 and ‘85-’87
She's not saying no?
Keep in mind that the guy was likely just as drunk. This is a good reason to not get drunk in the first place.
Course women, drunk or not, who consent to sex would never lie later.
Oh, no. The would NEVER happen.
If you get behind the wheel while completely drunk, you are still held responsible for your bad decision. It should be the same for drunken sex. Don't want to get into a bad situation while drunk? Don't get drunk.
To play devils advocate, If both parties are hammered drunk then it is the guys fault for raping? I certainly wasn’t there and I am not privy to any other evidence, but the fact they were drunk does not in and of itself, make it rape. Particularly if both parties were impaired.
Those boys are going to do some time!
Being stationed in southern cal was a lot better than being station at Camp Lejeune. That place was a hole.
My kind of place!
That would make for a good Supreme Court case. Is it sexual discrimination to hold drunk men totally responsible for his actions, while absolving women for all decisions that they make after even one drink?
