“The University of Michigan’s athletic policy also bans coaches and athletes from engaging in romantic relationships with each other.
Wise policy. So, given that, I can see why he was fired. Why was he arrested? Public lewdness? Indecent exposure? If so, it takes two to Tango. I suspect his real offense was existing while white.
Can that possibly be legal, though? If, as in this case, the people are both adults - and it sounds like this woman whose name is being hidden for PC reasons is at least viewed as a co-conspirator by the police - then how can any authority ban them from engaging in a consensual relationship among adults?
Why was he arrested?
Article states: “Police charged Vetere with ‘committing an indecent or obscene act in public.’”
Given all the public degeneracy and lewdness that goes on all over the country every day, it’s astonishing that they dusted off this ancient statute to charge him.
You can do ANYTHING you want at San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair and never get a ticket for lewd behavior, much less a “Knock it off - get a room!” admonishment. Antifa can bash conservative heads anywhere they want and the police are told to “stand down” by the mayor. Occupy Wall Street and others can dump bodily waste wherever they want and are never reprimanded or arrested. But sex between consenting adults in a private automobile? Throw the book at ‘em.
I’m sure the university wanted the harshest charges possible. Don’t want parents thinking their daughters are unsafe with the university instructors.
