She's partially right, though; there are countless untested rape kits sitting on shelves, along with many other variables/obstacles/hurdles that make it challenging/discouraging for someone to pursue criminal charges in rape/sexual assault cases.

I think we've all been in general situations (unrelated to rape) where we wanted to act but felt the trouble of resolving the situation was not worth it.

None of this means the accusations are automatically true, and of course the evidence should determine how we judge the accuser's and the accused's character. Rather, it's simply a response to those who immediately jump to, "why didn't she tell the police? why didn't she get a rape kit? why did she wait so long? why didn't she bring criminal charges?".

seeing as the incident in question occurred in the throes of the #MeToo movement, her lack of desire to respond immediately compromises her situation more than in the past.......Brown is no angel, and running with him does give concern regarding the 'victim's' own judgement........she was providing a professional service and failed to keep it professional......regret can take on many forms......people who run with total assholes tend to be total assholes themselves

Likelihood of him going on the exempt list just increased substantially.

Wow - I always thought this was more of an exaggeration. Like no one is actually as irrational as anti-feminists make them out to be. SMY proves this theory wrong. Can you be any more of a militant, anti-fact, SJW than this?



Wtf?

She is the one hurting women, not him

 

[Boogs]

She does have some blame. He might not have raped her. And she's dumb to put herself in the situations that she did. But he admits to jacking off and spraying it on her back. That's at least sexual assault. Unless she knows he was doing it.

 

[TommyD4207]

It only becomes a criminal issue when charges are file ala Patrick Chung. The DA can investigate if they want.

Yes, but there is precedent in exempt listing someone just for being investigated.

I know this sounds old fashioned but sex outside marriage was not always socially acceptable and never morally acceptable for many good reasons. When you choose to sleep around and many of us have, there are consequences. By following a moral code, you can usually avoid these kinds of things.

Cool story. Would you use that same logic ( lol) and state the same thing to a woman making a claim of assault? I think not.

 

[sambam94]

Just went to a criminal issue now from DA in Pittsburgh now looking into it

You think the Pitt DA would be looking into it if AB still played for the Steelers?

I'm not sure I agree.

Just because there's greater awareness of a societal issue does not necessarily mean those obstacles are any less real for the time being.

Awareness and progress are two separate discussions.

That said, totally understand where you're coming from and appreciate your perspective.

It's what I'm hoping for. He gets to stay on the roster while the process plays itself out and the Pats avoid the PR hit of him being around. But i know I'm basically the only one who feels that way.

We don't need this headache!

Yes, I agree that loser pays would put the kabosh on needless lawsuits.

The timing is questionable, the fact it’s a civil case (money trolling), and the devastating if true response by AB’s counselor makes me consider the alleged victim is not trustworthy.

Think of her bookdeal even if she loses her civil case. With the narcissistic AB so much in the news, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a six-figure amount.

Can we just void the DT trade with the jesters and end this soap opera.

All DT did is work his butt off, keep his teeth together, and learn the playbook enough to have an excellent last preseason game.

I’ll take a decent stable talent at wr over a huge talent that comes with all this disruption.

This AB experiment is already looking like a mistake, as much as many of us were excited at the prospect of Brady throwing to him. Captain Stone is right I fear.

I don't totally understand her response to Ed, though, as he didn't appear to say anything particularly controversial. I'd need more context.

That would make sense...if she didn't file suit. Right, wrong or indifferent it is what it is. I mean if someone assaulted you does filing suit as your first official act make sense? And I say official because it is highly likely she attempted to extort him first (and yes that is speculation on my part).

He didn't admit to jacking off on her..could have been consensual sex

 

[BradyFTW!]

Well, there you go. I hate to put any rape allegations in this light, but this is quickly becoming a C'mon man episode. "Hey I know you raped me and all, how would you like to invest in my business?"

IIRC it allegedly happened the other way. She tried to scam him, he said no, then for some bizarre inexplicable reason he hired her and entered into a relationship with her anyway, then she alleges he assaulted her.

Neither side's story, on the surface, makes a hell of a lot of sense.

 

[TommyD4207]

Not gonna lie, from a purely Patriots football perspective, I am hoping the DA’s office finds insufficient evidence to formally charge.

If that's what the facts are, I agree.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

If they thought there were something to the suit, they would (theoretically) put him there to keep him out of the public eye, while they're waiting for the case's investigation to conclude.

But then he can't play. And they have to pay him.

I suspect if the league does, they may just dump him.
IDK

 

[TB12GOATQB]

I think plaintiffs usually tell most of the truth and most cases are not "extortion." But I once represented an actor accused of sexually assaulting a woman outside of a building in Lower Manhattan. Unfortunately for the plaintiff, the building's exterior camera tapes told a very different story, corroborating most of my client's story. Some pocket change and paperwork ended that case not long after plaintiff's counsel viewed the tapes.

Must have been part of the "2%"........

Now that he is facing a criminal investigation it gives Goodell more justification (in his eyes) to do it. Not that he needed it since he does whatever the hell he wants.

Didn't Abraham bed his wife's slave?

He didn't?

I thought I read a text where he admitted that?
