I am white and very rarely bring up race but if Brock were an African American the jail term and discussion would be very different. I am 100% certain of that. |
| Hate to say this, but it doesn't seem like rape to me either. It seems like it was a party hook-up by two drunken idiots that went off the rails. He fingered her according to him, with her consent. There was no PIV. |
| Another major problem that this case should highlight is admissions standards for athletes. Brock's statement was so poorly written it's hard to believe he is a college student, much less at a top university. I was a swimmer so I know how he got there but it's a disgrace. Maybe he is smarter than he came across but if not he has no business being at the school. |
No you stop with the whole "rapist" hysteria. They were grabbing each other at the party, they went together outside, she blacked out, he didn't. Really, that's it. Btw, her letter sounds totally fake. Things like "I thought he was going to settle" or "maybe one day you can pay me back for my ambulance ride and the therapy" make her look like a slut who wants money. |
Then why did he run? And he certainly noticed she wasn't conscious since the swedes riding by on their bike noticed. Also why not go to a dorm room? I think she passed out while they were walking so he carried her behind the dumpster and raped her. |
Thanks for you uninformed opinion. I could be wrong but it seems to me you didn't read anything about this case. Please show me I'm wrong by posting a link to a story that reflects that she gave consent and was conscious (she would have to be conscious to give consent). I am starting to agree with others. There are maybe one or two rape apologist trolls. |

really doesn't seem like rape to me either. Read the facts of the case, not the silly internet hysteria. i'm the poster who provided link to complaint and associated docs. haven't been able to find more ie court transcripts. do you know where one can find further docs, save for requesting from the court? |
Not a troll but someone who believes that she is no less guilty than he is. Why is he the only one paying the price for both of them being dumb? She is paying the price for something that has nothing to do with him but rather the system she has been put through. Let's face it: she was going to pass out regardless. |
I'll say upfront, I have not read in detail about this case. But some people here are pretty certain there was consent right up until the time she passed out. I'm interested in seeing where they got this information. |
He and Emily Doe were kissing at the party and they left together. They likely went behind the dumpster not realizing that they were still in plain view. They fooled around, she passed out and he kept sexually engaging with her (disgusting). When the swedes saw him dry humping a passed out woman, they yelled at him "What are you doing to her!?! Stop!!". He got off her and started to run. They chased and tackled him. If the swedes hadn't shown up on the scene he would have likely finished what he was doing and left her behind that dumpster. She would have woke up a couple of hours later, half naked, feeling like crap and wondering wth had happened and realizing - oh crap, anyone driving by could see me laying here by this dumpster! Neither one of these two young adults treated each other (or themselves!) with any respect or decency. She was a grown woman with a serious boyfriend who got black out drunk and opted to kiss and leave a party with an underage 19 year old college guy. She wound up passed out cold behind a dumpster. He got drunk beyond reason and wound up sexually assaulting this passed out woman. They both made extremely poor and unfortunate choices that night. I'll bet that neither one of them would have behaved that way sober. It is a shame all around. |
Would a poor or average middle class white guy be judged the same as brock whose dad seems to have connections? |
We know there was consensual kissing between the two of them and we know that she left the party with him and we also know that he was obviously coming on to other women at the party (it was obvious what he wanted, he wasn't hiding what he wanted). That sort of sets the stage for some consensual sexual activity as opposed to him out of the blue jumping her and raping her. |
Very true. As women we need to protect ourselves. Getting black out drunk at a frat party is as much dangerous for a woman as it is for a man. |
