Austin Scott charged with rape, sexual assault

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.

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, 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.

Not all rape is the same.

Right, but the "rape that isn't about sex but instead about power and domination" is probably pretty overrepresented among BMOC college athletes and pro athlete superstars, wouldn't you say?

EDIT: As opposed to the "rape that is about sexual frustration and not being able to get laid" I mean, not as opposed to "no rape at all." I'm not trying to imply athletes rape more often than non-athletes.
