[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ben R was never convicted of anything was he?  Maybe it was determined that there was no criminal wrong doing on his part?

I honestly have not followed that story - At All.  But of course rape is never, ever acceptable and it is always a crime. Although an accusation is not the same thing as a conviction.  People forget that.[/quote]Okay, Ben was never convicted of anything but Vick was [i]and[/i] Vick was punished.  Ben, who apparently has behaved badly and, if some are right, broken the law but never been caught - he's okay?

Jeez, I don't want to leave any of you people alone with my daughter.  You'd take better care of my dog than my daughter![/quote]

Just from what I have read on this thread, it sounds as though he was accused of rape.  The police were told about it.  I assume an investigation took place and no charges were brought.

I used to party a great deal when I was a young lady and I can tell you that by the time I was 20...if I had followed a guy to 4 different bars, agreed to go to his private club area, then agreed to meet him in a private room.  It would not have been a "surprise" to see his penis. And if it had been a surprise I would have turned tail and gone right back out the door I had come in.  Instead, she went into an even more private room (the bathroom) and he followed...where the alleged rape happened.

She then left that bar with her friends and immediately reported what happened to a police officer.  Charges were never brought and there was apparently some sort of civil settlement - she got money.  I'm guessing the suit was more to do with a 20 year old drinking alcohol in BR's private club area (she was underage for drinking).  But that is a guess.  If you could pay $$$ to get serious criminal charges dropped against you I would imagine that Vick would have paid $$$ himself rather than go to jail.  But that is not the way it works.[/quote]
