If boorish behavior by athletes were a crime in and of itself, there wouldn't be a single team out of jail in this country. But just because these guys are jerks doesn't make them rapists.
Busy girl.
i have no problems, thanks very much. but i tend to look at immorality and criminality as two different things. flogging the concept that the boys shouldn't have been drinking and having a stripper does not ameliorate the outrage of a false rape accusation. THAT i have a huge problem with, and if you have a son or a husband or a brother, you should also. women lie about sex all the time, be it sexual harrassment, rape or anything like that. once a false claim is made, the bell cannot be unrung, the damage cannot be UNDONE. and false claims can also be made against "nice" boys who have never had a drink underage or seen a stripper or done anything wrong. THAT is why this is an outrage to most people. attempting to equate the two just doesn't wash.
Nor does it absolve them.
it was megan (whatever cockamamie way she spells her name!) kendall on Fox, bc i don't switch channels. i rely on you guys to monitor the other channels and i read it all here!
Oh, dear. I see the Holier Than Thou's have shown up on the thread. LOL
So the plot thickens with what time the stripper actually left the house because the cabbie saw the stripper or just hear the boys he picked up at 1:00 talk about a stripper?
Her "profession" is a lot older than drunken college boys.
Before women get pregnant and have children without benefit of a husband, they should ask themselves how the hell they plan on supporting their little darlings! She's 27 or 28, been in the Navy, college student and the best she can get is being a stripper? I doubt it.
Family was expecting to share in the proceeds of the civil suit without having, themselves, to go through with the trial.
With aspirations to travel the world, the former husband said, she signed up in the fall of 1996 for an eight-year enlistment -- two years of active duty followed by six years in the reserves. She began active duty in the summer of 1997 and was sent to school in Dam Neck, Va., near Virginia Beach, to train for her job operating radios and navigation equipment.
That fall, the couple got married in Virginia Beach. The union would allow the woman's husband to travel wherever the woman was stationed, he said.
The former husband said he was illiterate when he married the then-19-year-old woman. She taught him to read, he said, and was kind and patient during the process. After months of tutoring and many evenings spent paging through beginning-level books, he said, he was finally able to fill out his own job applications.
"She never downed me for that," he said. "She loved me for who I was." He said he saw her after the accusations of rape were reported and she appeared distressed.
As newlyweds, the couple moved to Concord, Calif., where the woman was assigned to the USS Mount Hood, an ammunition ship. She was often away at sea for days or weeks, and tensions flared in the marriage, her former husband said.
"She was young," he said.
Along the way, the woman became interested in another sailor, a man who would later father her children, the former husband said. The two separated as the new relationship began, he said. Six months later, she was discharged from the service.
A U.S. Navy spokesman would not release the reason for the discharge, though records indicate it came less than nine months before she had her first child, a boy, named after his father.

There are a lot of women who don't lie about sex and have never gotten themselves into situations where they felt the need to.
I have to run, but from memory she paid her resistution in full. There's a wage attachment, you don't have much choice to pay that back.
I think she's paid in full. But, you go out and steal a car and lead the police on a high speed chase across 2 counties and then try to RUN OVER A POLICE OFFICER - and see if you get 3 WeekENDs in jail.
That is ONE SWEET DEAL!
let's see, we have those who want bad things to happen to the lacrosse players #1 because they were whoremongering or #2 because they are rich and white and privileged and attend an elite university or #3 because they were arrogant and everyone knew and hated someone like them when they were in college. Have i left anything out? and all of this, of course, takes precedence over a false rape accusation because #1, #2, and #3 above all means they were just ASKING FOR IT.
The USS MOUNT ? I stopped reading right there.
there are JUST ENOUGH women who DO lie about sex to make it dangerous for all men who are out in the world, work force, or school. pray it never happens to anyone that you care about, no matter how virtuous the man.
Because an accusation has been made, GJ returned indictments. The solid alibi will help him in court ... unless of course, he is unfortunate to find himself tried in front of a jury whose mind is already made up, regardless the facts prove out.
Yep, and I'm trying VERY hard to ignore them. ;)
Megyn reported the cabbie returned around 1:00 but that must be before Kim placed the 12:53 911 call. Maybe that's when she was waving her cell phone around threatening to call the cops ... and she did.
:-) Me too.
I listened to his interview last night and heard him talk a little about this, but he was difficult to understand.
