40 years of college football's sexual assault problem

[aaaaaa5a]

177. I honestly think you need to read the full 86 page report and do some

research into the case before calling people you don't even know stupid. I haven't called you any names like that.


I don't want to go into the real details of this case, especially with someone who by their own admission doesn't know a lot about it.

However, I will say this. There is compelling evidence that this woman never wanted to bring charges. I think she got swept into the case by the people around her, including her family who allegedly leaked the story to the Tampa Bay Tribune setting off this firestorm. (And yes there is evidence to support this.)

Furthermore, throughout this case the accuser has both engaged and disengaged police efforts to solve this alleged crime. If you read the report, at one point during the case, the investigation was hampered because police were trying to determine who was responsible for the second DNA swab, and she wouldn't tell them. That's how uncooperative she was. There is evidence to support the charges where made up because Winston's girlfriend was coming to town and the accuser didn't like that. She gave conflicted details of her alleged attacker. Including an initial description that was way off. She didn't identify Winston until weeks later.

She claimed she had a head injury. There was no medical evidence of this.

She claimed she was raped. There was no evidence of sexual trauma. And remember it is very possible to have trauma during consensual sex. She has sex twice within this time frame with 2 different football players (one of which was an alleged rape) and showed no trauma at all.

Again this does NOT PROVE that a rape did not happen. But it certainly doesn't prove that it did.

Finally, there are credible witnesses who saw her engaging in sex with Winston. They tell the story of a willing participant. Not someone who was raped. There were no screams. No violence. No drugs. Nobody was drunk. Nobody heard anything. She was even texting classmates looking for the answers to an exam right after this sexual escapade that was watched by multiple people.

Again for the millionth time, this DOES NOT PROVE that a rape did not occur. But it is compelling evidence.

Perhaps accusing her of making false accusations is a bit strong. I may need to take that back. But if this isn't a story that at the very least should be looked at with severe skepticism, then you are basically saying it is impossible for anyone accused of rape to every be exonerated, short of the women recanting her story, or DNA evidence showing they never had sex. This was my point.


I would invite you to do some research into the case. Its very interesting. Please read the 86 page report. Its fascinating. Police have looked at this case twice in 10 months and come to the same conclusion both times. There is a reason for that.

I hope we can continue to have a discussion without the name calling and angry outbursts.
