But the NFL has cornered themselves now with how they handled Deshaun Watson multiple cases. 8 games for deshaun means max 1 game for Araiza….. insane You couldn't be more wrong. 1

They exist, no clue what California s law is, but doesn't seem like a state trying to stick anyone with a SO status for some kids close in age California doesnt have one. If he was 18 and she was 17 its a misdemeanor. Up to 1 year in jail or probation and a fine. Older that 3 years older and it changes to a felony with tougher penalties. Thats what their law is.

She did a rape kit the day after. If he had sex with her that night he’s done. No, the sentiment would be the same with Diggs. Proven star. A practice squad RB. His feet wouldn't even hit the floor before cut 1 minute ago, CSBill said: 1) Why no criminal charges? She went to the police the next day, but no charges and no arrests 10 months later. I would guess the evidence is weak, if there is any (the article raises questions about it). Look at him. Star football player. A tale as old as time
FireChans Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 31 minutes ago, HappyDays said: The only possible saving grace is if he can reasonably claim that he didn't know her age. A lot of title IX cases involve drunken sex at parties. It's really hard to prove wrongdoing in those cases. Obviously a lot more facts will have to come out before we have any idea what happened here. I believe it doesn't matter.
boater Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Great. Who will be the holder now? Some scrub hired off the street? Haack is looking like a big loss in hindsight.

Rampage Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Funny how Beane the other day in the Cody Ford press conference was saying they need to go back to the drawing board when evaluating prospects and seeing what went wrong with him. This might be another one. 2
appoo Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 1 minute ago, CSBill said: So sad. I hope it’s not true for him. But obviously something happened to this young lady. And it seems clearly to have been at Araiza’s house. But I have two big questions: 1) Why no criminal charges? She went to the police the next day, but no charges and no arrests 10 months later. I would guess the evidence is weak, if there is any (the article raises questions about it). 2) How could the Bills not know this when he was drafted? It seems very Anti-process. We know much research goes into the draft process, they had to know. Which gives me hope for him, maybe those in the know have determined there is nothing to it? They had to know. If there is, he’s gone, if not in jail soon. I, like so many here, was excited to see him play—he made us excited to see a punt. Now I’m sad for all involved. It appears there will be no winners in this situation. My one defense of the Bills is that the cops aren’t going to tell anyone that they’re investigating someone for a crime involving an underage individual, which means they likely knew nothing of this until the civil charges were filed. What “thorough examination of the matter” means is anyones guess. Does it mean they thoroughly read the civil suit?
Turbo44 Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Innocent til proven guilty of course but disgusting if true. And sure doesn't look good. Praying it's not true. 3 notes: 1. Now we probably know why he was the 3rd punter picked 2. Shocked the Bills would involve themselves in this over a punter, unless they had no clue about it. Makes no sense they cut Haack before they had to if they knew about this or were investigating it. 3. I liked him as much as anybody, but, punter is the least of our worries

And they should have been charges by now. it’s always innocent until proven guilty. she mentioned his name because she probably already knew him at the party. That does not mean he is the one who did it. by the way, he’s now in the NFL so lawyer is willing to sue because he does have money. See if they can settle for a payday. 1
appoo Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 so basically what Matt’s angle here is that he had sex with her consensually but had nothing to do with what happened in the bed room. 1 1

If anyone here had sex with a women you didn’t know that looked under 25 and asked her for her ID ahead of time you may throw the first stone. She was beaten, choked, and bloody. She had a rape kit done. It’s not just about the age. She saved the clothes with blood all over it. Edited August 25, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede 2 1
