Oh darn, I musta been on the Modicum of Decency Express when that train you write of rolled through.
If you had a daughter, you would not take such "sarcasm" lightly.
Very Disturbing indeed.... Poor girl.
Poor guy. She mostly likely asked him to come to her when she was drunk. Then when she got sober, she claims a black man raped her.

Not funny. Why would you even joke about this?
That's not even close to what happened, I'm sure we will learn more about this incident soon...
The guy admitted in the article that he went into the room naked, intended to have sex with her and did not have her consent.
that is a pretty open and shut rape case and his own confession will be the nail in the coffin. Dude is going to jail for a long time.
I've tried not to post anything on this, but all your guys comments based on no knowledge of what happened is totally un called for. As someone who knows the circumstances surrounding this (though not what did or did not happen in the room), I have to say that newspaper article is a gross misrepresentation and your open and shut judgement based on it is inapropriate. The two parties involved were not total strangers to each other as the article suggests, and large amounts of alchohol were involved on both their parts.

By your own admission, you do not know the circumstances surrounding this event since you admit you dont know what happened in the room.
The newspaper article is just a rehash of the police report plus a quote from the school. How is that a gross misrepresentation?
I used the word, "Fell asleep", because it is what the papers reported. Im sure any reasonable adult would assume alcohol is involved because no one sleeps so hard they can't tell a sexual assault is taking place! I don't care if she was drunk or if she knew him. If that young lady did not give this young man permission to have sex with her he is wrong. Alcohol put her in a uncompromising situation but no man has the right to take advantage of the circumstances. It's a crime without consent...drunk or not.

I could see how that article could be viewed as a poor representation, making it sound like a woman taking a nap awoke to a complete stranger on top of her. It calls the woman a friend of the roomate rather than noting that the two knew one another, and it says she fell asleep rather than that they both got drunk and she passed out.
It doesnt matter if a large amount of alcohol was involved- or the fact that they knew each other well. It wouldnt matter if they were dating.
Forcing sex on another is a crime, alcohol related or not. If what he said in the police report is true- he will be spending a lot of time behind bars.
It's interesting to me that some people don't want this discussed or even posted... It happened, it's real, the paper reported it, the accused made damning statements... Would you rather it just be swept under the rug to protect the University?
I am 100% anti rape and my views on crime and punishment are over to the right. Like everyone else I have no idea what really went down in this situation but here are a few of my concerns..
Someone said it would not matter if they were dating. Really? How many of you men have dated girls who once or twice gave you a nice wake up call under the covers, if you know what I mean. Is that rape?
I actually have 2 male friends who at some point have woken up drunk at a party or after a night out etc with a girl riding them. Of course they loved it but say they didn't and went to the police about it, would it be taken seriously? I doubt it.
Assuming he wasn't forced to make the statement he did the male in this case has admitted he was in the wrong. However how many thousands of men have had consensual sex with a woman only for the women to decide once she has woken/sobered that it wasn't consensual and bang the male is a rapist. His word against her's. They had sex so the evidence is there but unless its on tape!! there is no evidence of consent/lack of and its up to the man to clear his name which is nearly impossible to fully do.
Rape/sexual assult, oftentims, the offender is someone the victim knew, often from an intimate relationship. Acquaintance rape is just as serious of a charge as rape committed by a stranger. Non consentual vaginal intercourse is rape. The previous poster is correct that it really doesnt matter if he knew the victim or not. If the story is correct, he did not have permission to engage in sexual activity.
After further investigation the plot thickens... Track house, track party and much more... Columbo always gets his man..... Not sure why people in charge didn't know about this and nip it in the bud

i thought u were dead
I'm sure many wish I were dead... Cigars will cut your life short .... I just had to go deep undercover for this episode, 6 feet deep... Stay tuned, it's gonna get alot better ;)
Alleged.
Just remember that. I'm not saying he didn't do it, but we need to remember that being charged with something does not equate with doing it. If he didn't do it, his life is probably ruined undeservedly.
Finally read the article... Never realized the guy has run 3:38 before, I don't think he ran nearly that fast at UF... Sad situation for all the parties involved, nobody wins...
