Pretty strong words. Sounds like a drug or crime thing to me.

In 2002 was charged with third degree sexual assault. Pierce is now under investigation for intent to commit sexual abuse, burglary, criminal mischief and false imprisonment.

I heard that Pierce will be interviewed by Connie Chung.
To: RushCrush
He was arrested in West Des Moines for burglery, sexual assualt, false imprisonment with a girlfriend of sorts. Check out the local
paper .
To: RushCrush
He'll fit in well after he's drafted by the Trail Blazers.

Ahhh.
Here it is: "Pierce, from Westmont High School, was under investigation for intent to commit sexual abuse, burglary, criminal mischief and false imprisonment for an incident at the home of a former girlfriend."
Just another product of the "student"/athlete thugfest called college sports.

Are we talking about Kobe BRyant or Pierre?

According to the story, nothing impotant enough to mention, but important enough to dismiss him.
My guess is a criminal act.

From what I have read, Pierce has been accused of allegedly stealing his girlfriend's computer and holding her against her will.
What's really bizarre is that articles have said the girl has been his girlfriend for 2 1/2 years which has me wondering 'is this the same girl who accused him of having sex with her in a manner she did not like.' He sat out one year for the offense.
Very strange.

Well now, you wouldn't want them to be unprepared for the thugfest that is pro sports, would you? ;)
