Just in Atlanta Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Isn't there a legal (and logical) statute of limitations for something like this? And concerning Nirvana baby, he has profited off this album cover, even doing promotional shoots a few years ago to celebrate an anniversary. If he didn't get royalties (not sure that is even correct) it's his parents' fault not Nirvana.

Employers aren't obligated to supervise people while they are away from work. Remember Jerry Jones did that with Dez Bryant (I think it was). Wanted him supervised at all times or whatever lol
Sharky7337 Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 I used to go there all the time when I was 21. Place is kinda tiny I'm surprised he was able to do anything like that.

Captain Caveman Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Everyone questioning the timing should maybe slow down. If you're a 17 year old girl in 1992 how comfortable are you coming forward with these allegations (keeping in mind the team's popularity and Bennet's importance.) There's been a sea change in how these things are viewed in the last 30 years, it doesn't mean it wasn't wrong then. And I'm not saying he's guilty either, just that there's no good reason to judge this woman right now. Re: suing the NFL and or team, and their culpability, maybe she does feel like she should be compensated and that's her best course (I don't know the state of CB's financial affairs.) It does seem like a big stretch to claim they are responsible for their employee unless there is some other prior knowledge or action taken (let's say if Bennet was previously accused and it is shown that the team or league covered it up.)

In 2002 she would have been 27. A grown woman, so the young stuff goes out the window. 2012 she hits 37 yrs old. Still nothing, moving forward to now she should be 46 going on 47. Now she decides she's comfortable? I just don't buy it Edited September 3, 2021 by Sheneneh Jenkins

Bennet has a history of sexual assault during that time period. If you have a hard time giving the alleged victim the benefit of the doubt then literally the least you can do is keep it to yourself. 1 1 1

I honestly can't think of any that went 30 yrs. I recall hearing about some that was around 15-20 years. Also yes I have a hard time giving the benefit of doubt and no I will not keep it to myself as this is a message board. Also it looks as if there are quite a few in this thread that are questioning the 30 yrs. You don't like it, don't read it then and keep it to Yourself. See how that can work? 1

MJS Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 People try to bury these things and move on. I don't think it is fishy for someone to come out 30 years later. It can take 30 years for people to finally get the courage to do something. For many people, they NEVER get the courage. Have to let it play out in a court of law. I highly doubt there is any kind of evidence, so it's going to be her word against his. 1
