TheyCallMeAndy Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Again remember there are two parts in this that appear to be separate: 19 hooking up with JD who wound up being underage. The gang rape that allegedly happened after. One can be true, both, or neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they stand with a guy if they found anything damning in their investigation. I would confidently say that 0% chance Matt is still on this team if even their investigation was inconclusive. They clearly are confident in what they found. So, I suggest we all wait until we know more and stop assuming the worst given there is evidence here that maybe they know a lot more about it than any of us do. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBillFan Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 4 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Question, why is it the victims name is sealed but not the accused? I’ve always felt that in cases such as these the names of all parties should be sealed until charges are made. Because rapists don’t often stick to one victim; the more people who feel confident in coming forward the easier it is to get charges to stick. And it takes a lot for victims to admit to being raped, even without their names being made public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 14 minutes ago, UKBillFan said: I assume the law is different in the US as, in the U.K., I would have thought that speaking to the press in this way would increase the likelihood of a mistrial - even if it is taken to criminal court, the defence would state that the defendant has no chance of a fair hearing because so much of one side is in the public domain, which may influence people’s opinions prior to the trial taking place. This is hashed on in jury selection. It shouldn’t be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accusations are possibly the worst for an active NFL player since Hernandez. He's just a punter and a rookie at that. The cost of being wrong is so much higher than the value of being right. Cut anyone who’s accused is a good way to run an organization… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask: If it were Josh Allen who was accused instead of a punter, how many here would want him cut on the allegation alone? 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t risking their image for a developing rookie punter. If there is evidence she’s telling the truth that he was involved in a gang rape he’s done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
