I'm not sure. I think it's more likely that CGM was looking for a way out of a public drunkenness charge..But I don't know.
When I say setup, I mean once the decision was made to holler "rape" for whatever reason (your's is quite plausible), then the race pimp industry took it over and drove the train. Notice it took several days before everything to hit the networks and newspapers. That's the "setup" I'm talking about. They thought the Lax families would fold instead of calling the bluff. Follow the money always...
