Here we go again. No, he didn’t. He admitted to sleeping with her. He didn’t know she was underage, there are witnesses that say she was telling everyone she was in college, and in CA that’s defensible toward it being a criminal offense 

Doesn’t matter regardless he admitted to sleeping with her and she was underage. That alone legally would have to make him register as a sex offender. It’s statutory rape.

Probably didn't help her case when she was caught on video saying she was planning to "add more than 1 to her body count" that night before any of it happened.  

 

So someone looking for sex from someone at some point can't be raped?

 

Adding one more to the body count to me also says she's had plenty of sex (no judgment)...has she raised rape allegations before? If anything, this helps support her case imo. Why was this time different?

 

Also, can you even give consent if you're hammered?

not that cut and dry in CA. I’m not gonna rehash all of it again, go read the original Araiza thread if you have a few hours. But there are defenses to statutory rape in California.

And another assault is swept under the rug.  No wonder why women often do not go to the police or school to report an assault. They immediately become the accused not the other way around.   Sad.  

 

And you know this is what happened how?  Can you provide the board with the results of your interviews of the witnesses, examining of all the evidence the police have, etc that led you to conclude he is guilty and its just being swept under the rug?

 

You do realize it's entirely possible that an assault DID happen to this woman and that Araiza did NOT participate or have anything to do with it right?

Is it?

Having an attorney who specializes in defending against California sex crimes is the key to safeguarding your rights and protecting your future. A good attorney knows that there are certain legal defenses that can help you beat the charges.

Two of the most helpful legal defenses are:

You honestly and reasonably believed the minor was over 18, and

No actual sexual intercourse took place.

Some states it doesn't matter, some states it does.

It DOES matter in California:

 

 

1) Mistake of age: If you honestly and reasonably believed that the person you had sex with was over 18 at the time you had sex, you can’t be convicted under California statutory rape law.

Basically it sounds like they concluded the girl is full of crap and that Araiza didn't do anything wrong.

That isn’t what it means. It means they know it is a he-said she-said (as these frequently are) and there isn’t a good chance they will win in court. Doesn’t mean she’s full of crap at all. If they didn’t have good physical evidence, or camera footage, or other evidence like witnesses then there isn’t much they can do.

Cause the dude was a pro football player, and for a punter a rather high profile one at that.Did the girl or the attorney publicly name any of the other 5 guys  and wage a social media war on them?
