I stand by my statement: I hope he gets locked up for years. It's not worth it if you have to rape a woman to get laid, man. C'mon!
It's always fun to see how people align themselves on the extreme sides of any issue and seem to be unable to take the middle road of rationality. One side says "athletes should be able to do whatever the hell they want without consequence. They should be able to rape and murder and get away with it." The counter argument from this bozo isn't "no, they should be treated just like anyone else and they should face a judge and jury who come to a decision without bias." Rather, his argument is essentially "He's an athlete, so he should be locked up simply because he was accused. Forget the whole legal process. F*** the whole constitutional rights thing. He should be locked up based solely on an accusation."
Personally, I think that the whole claim seems pretty suspect. The article in the paper today said that Ben called the girl at the front desk to tell her that his TV wasn't working, and that she was unable to find a technician and went up herself. She found that the TV was working fine, but when she turned to leave, Ben was blocking the door.
How would Ben have planned this out? In a large hotel, the person at the front desk is rarely the person who actually goes up to take care of the issue. In this case, she only responded because no one else was available. How would a guest know that at that particular moment, this girl was the only one who could come up?
