I wonder if it is a common situation in the US, for pro athletes new to "the game" to be preyed on by cash hunters looking to get intoxicated, sleep with said green athlete, then claim rape via civil suit looking for easy money from settlement?

I'm certainly not saying this is happening in this particular case. But does anybody know if this is a thing pro athletes need to be aware of in the US?

Id suggest its something any rich bloke needs to be aware of in this day and age! I can see a new business opportunity, bedside alcohol breath tests to determine if someone can consent or not prior to getting it on.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "alcohol interlock"......

I find it bizarre and quite sad people *want* him to be guilty of rape because they don't like the guy.

Surely that's not meant to be directed at me...?

I hate the prick, and have a genuine hope he gets syphilis, but... you're right, this isn't the way to go out (unless he is guilty then hang the merkin)

Because I quite plainly stated that I only hope he gets syphilis, not that I "want' him to be guilty.

It was a general comment following the vibe of several people's posts in here. Not aimed at specific people.

So your argument is based on the ‘fact’ that every 21yr old girl in the US has had a root...right?

As I said, seek help

The main thing about her story that sounds maybe a little dubious (apart from the 21 year old, bar tending, clubbing, virgin) is that she had the presence of mind to steal his undies but forgot to go to the doctors for 4 months even though her vagina was sore all that time.
