Dude a rape allegation can take a year to properly investigate and move thru our court system. This is American government. As I pointed out it’s NOT just an allegation. He’s been investigated and charged.
Allegations do not make someone guilty but a DA rarely wants to prosecute a case he can’t win. Charge someone and lose in court looks really bad on you. They wouldn’t charge him unless they had good evidence.
He must be a student in good standing to play basketball. Alleged rape with actually being charged is not a student in good standing. Any regular student would be gone in an instant.
It’s not your daughters choice if she doesn’t know an alleged/ charged rapist is at the party. What girl would go if she knew?? Maybe too late and scared for life by the time she finds out.
I’m all for due process. I’m a veteran and an American. I want any student accused of rape out of the student population until it’s investigated. That’s just me.
Lol, just because a prosecutor charges doesn't mean they have solid evidence. They could just as likely be trying to secure a plea deal out of Shannon.
They charge people and drop them every day. They lose convictions everyday. They have charges dropped or reduced procedurally all the time.
Being charged wouldn't impact his academic standing. Again, a public school is required to follow due process. Why do you think the judge forced them to let him play?
Students are accused and charged with sexual assaults on college campuses everyday and not dismissed. Again, why would you punish someone who hasn't been convicted? Do you want to be sued when they are exonerated?
Sure it's her choice. There are convicted, accused, exonerated rape suspect everywhere. They can be anywhere you go without you knowing. Do you think they wear a sign? There could be a rapist there that was never accused or caught for all she knows. There could be a 1st time rapist.
Plenty of girls would still go. Again, being accused doesn't mean he did it.
That's not due process then. That's punishment before conviction.
How is him playing a men's basketball game putting women at risk? Also, can he only attack women on a college campus? Should he be locked up since he is potentially a risk to all women because someone accused him?
If your son was in the same situation and accused, how would you want it handled? You think he should have to sit out the last year of his eligibility, miss the tournament his team earned their way into and put his life on hold and miss an opportunity he can never recover for an accusation? If it were Reed, would you be saying he should sit out until this is all settled?
Didn't we just have some football players get accused of bringing a gun to a party that they got charged for, then come to find out they were innocent and the charges were dropped? Was that the right thing to do?
If I file a complaint today that you sexually assaulted me, should you have to put your life on hold until it's settled in court?
