Semantics? Yes, accusing someone of rape when they didn't is no big deal. Just semantics.

Glad we agree. I learned after October 7 that rape isn't really a big deal anyway so who cares.
I live about 30 minutes Southeast of Lawrence and my wife, a KU alum, has multiple family members who work in Douglas County Law Enforcement. Here's some details:
1. The chick alleging the rape and intercourse without consent was NOT a KU student. Kind of a fascinating side note to this story and similar stories out of Lawrence involving student-athletes. The "victims" are almost always young minority women from Kansas City, Kansas or Topeka. The hot blonde KU sorority chicks from Leawood aren't the women levying out assault accusations at student-athletes. Interestingly enough, when a KU student-athlete also gets some woman pregnant, it is almost 100% someone in this crowd.
2. I've heard the Douglas County DA was initially hesitant about filing charges over credibility concerns regarding the allegations and the victim. And if you know anything about Susan Valdez, she usually jumps all over any type of rape case. The discussion among the local law enforcement is this victim wanted a relationship or something more from Shannon, and when he ghosted her, she started hurling allegations. he also apologized via electronic communication which could be considered an admission of guilt and that's why the DA decided to follow through with the charges.
I
feel like Shannon and maybe even the Illini's 2023-24 season is likely shot. But, I do believe he will be ok in the future. I don't think this case will ever go to trial, and I absolutely believe he will never be convicted.
I commend you for finally coming out. Guess no one should be surprised, considering Kentucky has the highest percentage of gays. 🤣
Why are you only citing numbers for grad students? Did you intentionally leave out the next part?
Among undergraduate students, 26.4% of females and 6.8% of males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation.
I'm 100% on board with scenario. You had me at "Illini's 2023-24 season is likely shot"
Hmm, if his side of the story was even remotely correct, I doubt he gets arrested.
Too bad for the Illini that T Shannon was fingered for this crime.
No, I lost the Jersey accent years ago and I'm not an Italian with a liquid tan.
That was the first thing I found. I know that I've heard that the rate of rape is actually much lower than perceived. According to this article below, most surveys are based off of perception and that when an actual survey was done the rate was quite low.
The Stat That 1 In 5 College Women Are Sexually Assaulted Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means
Everyone has heard the statistic that 1 in 5 college women are victims of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. That statistic does not mean what most people think it means.
www.forbes.com
"By contrast, a 2014 survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (the research wing of the Justice Department) asked students if they had ever been raped or sexually assaulted. (It provided fairly broad definitions for these terms.) The survey produced results far lower than the surveys discussed above: less than one percent of women reported that they had been sexually assaulted in any given year."
According to the survey, 6.1 out of 1000 college students experienced rape.

😂😂😂, you have to post that in the nonsense thread. Wow.You two dudes within a year.
I would if there were charges....Maybe you would feel different if it were your son that was facing ALLEGATIONS?
Being the parent of the fingerer, is a whole lot different than being the parent of the fingeree.
I have 2 daughters and a son, if my son committed this crime, I would hope to high heaven that it just went away and he would learn his lesson.
If it was one of my daughters, I would want that dude charged right away and I damn sure wouldn't want to see him just living out his dreams on ESPN.
So its the gender of your child that makes the difference? Interesting.
If it were your son, you hope it would just, "go away"? Even more interesting.
None of us really know how we would handle such a situation, if it were our children. I do find it interesting though how your emotions go from meh to fire, depending upon which child it was, i.e. son or daughter. I love my kids....And hope I have raised them well. But here are some facts:
. Women can rape....Women can lie. Allegations can be true....Allegations can be false. Jumping to conclusions helps nothing. Its why I have sero issue with Illinois playing him.
Uh, yeah, one of us does know how we would handle that situation.
And yeah, it is different. How you view things as a parent with regards to the sex of your kids.
Girls are targets and not just by kids their own age, boys are not in as much danger and can usually defend themselves.
My son got jumped at a party one night and it was by dudes that were my age. I knocked on some doors the next day, neither would come outside. I was pissed, but not anywhere near as pissed off as I was when something similar happened to the daughter. I wanted to blow someone's house up… . with him in it.
It’s different and quite honestly, you don't even need to be a parent to realize this.
And yeah, if my son did what Shannon did, hoping and praying is about all I would be able to do. The very last thing I could do is call the girl, that’s just going to make it worse. What do you suggest is a better plan?
Yep. If Morris hadn't had a prior allegation, I wouldn't have been in favor of dismissing him before the process plays out. Chicks lie about this stuff all the time, and this appears to be one of those cases.
Any woman that lies about being raped and goes public with it, should get punished the way the accused would have been. That’s an awful thing to do to someone.
Yet usually nothing happens. Actions need to have consequences. Like that crazy bitch that tried to extort Trevor Bauer. She should be in prison.
The worst case was Brian Banks, thr hs fb star out in California that went to prison for many years and missed out on what could have been a monster fb career.
Girls family got paid by the state and everything.
Tio be fair, UK raped KU the last time they were in town.
Just a rapey place.
Just a rapey place.
You need to just go ahead and ask @lurkeraspect84 out.
You into old, bald men with gaping Aholes?
