1. None of this was consensual.

"In 1999 while a sophomore at Pennsylvania State University, Parker and his roommate and wrestling teammate, Jean McGianni Celestin, were accused of raping a fellow Penn State student.[30][31][32] The unnamed accuser claimed that Parker and Celestin raped her while she was intoxicated and unconscious, and harassed her after she pressed charges.[31] Celestin, who co-wrote The Birth of a Nation, was convicted of sexual assault and received a six month prison sentence.[33][34] Celestin was granted a mistrial upon appeal when his accuser refused to testify again.[35] Parker was acquitted on the grounds that he and the victim had engaged in consensual sex prior to the alleged rape.[36] Via the Women's Law Project,[37] Parker's accuser filed a complaint against Penn State for failing to protect her from harassment, which was settled for $17,500.[38] She committed suicide in 2012 after two previous attempts, according to court documents.[36]
