CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A judge threw out a gang rape case Wednesday against six University of Tennessee-Chattanooga football players, ruling that there was not enough evidence to prove that their sex with a female student was not consensual.
--snip--
She testified Wednesday that she attended a football game and cheered for the players the day after the alleged Oct. 21 rape and then had consensual sex with another player hours before going to police Oct. 23.
The six players, all out on bond since they were charged in early November, hugged each other and celebrated quietly after the judge announced his decision.
The judge threw out rape charges against DeJuan Payne, 21, of Stone Mountain, Ga.; Muhammad Ahmad Abdus-Salaam, 19, of Atlanta; Lironnie Davis, 19, of Macon, Ga.; Cori Stukes, 22, of Wilmington, N.C.; Terrence Thomas, 20, of Lithonia, Ga.; and Larry White, 21, of College Park, Ga.

Um - she had consensual sex after she got raped?
"Lawrence Phillips" BUMP
Are there any players from Tennessee on that team?
1. Charges against these guys are thrown out as her testimony is unreliable, so they get their names in the paper.
2. Her story is too flimsy to support the charges against them, and if you read the original story she had a pretty funky website with a lot of sexual references -- so the press decides to keep her anonymous?
Equal justice.
Sounded fishy from the start..Like I said way back when....but of course we all know women dont lie!!
LOL
Got an original link?
I got attacked by some of my fellow women on another site for defending AJ Nicholson, the FSU player who was accused of sexual assault a few days before the Orange Bowl. He was kicked off the team because of the accusation. He has yet to be charged with anything. IMO, he probably let her up to the hotel room and had consenual sex with her. Having her up to the room was a violation of team policy, so he was kicked off the team. God forbid I give him the benefit of the doubt until I see proof otherwise.
