Austin Scott charged with rape, sexual assault - Page 2

Just like with Kobe, a good lawyer would be able to prove that there is very reasonable doubt to the girl's story. We still don't know whether Kobe was actually guilty or not, but as could be said once the charges were announced, the case was virtually unprovable given no witnesses and simply a girl's word against his. This sounds very similar.

It'll be a good wakeup call though nonetheless, as well as a "rapist for life" stamp from half the population even if he is found not guilty.

Crazy how much power women have accumulated in the usa.

I mean, football players at PSU have groupies. I lived next to some of them my senior year. I really doubt that this guy needs to rape a girl to get some.

This line comes up every time an athlete is charged with rape or sexual assault.
The flip side of this is that these athletes aren't used to hearing No.

You think rape has something to do with "get[ting] some"? Try again...

Why would a girl who he barely knows come back with him to his place except for sex/hooking up?

Austin lived in the same dorm as several of my best friends freshman year. I was told that he was having some trouble in one of his classes, so a female classmate offered to help him out, tutor him, and do some of his work if necessary. In return, what was his payment to her? He had to sleep with her.

This, like most sexual assault charges against athletes, is probably bunk.

This is just a bad post. You're attributing a large degree of rationality to a completely irrational action. Rape is absolutely not about sex.

My photobucket account ran out of bandwidth. It's being downloaded too often because it's all over different 2p2 threads. Probably be back when bandwidth resets on October 18th.

Technically, if a girl has sex with you while intoxicated, it can be considered rape because the girl is not in the correct mental state to make a rational and reasonable decision according to the law.

Anyways, I think this is legit. He's also charged with misdemeanor assault (indecent and simple), which is probably indicative of an initial physical attack by Scott and resistance shown by the victim.

Not all rape is the same.
