I am glad Johnson has already suspended him and taken a hard line on this.

DAMMITT!! I hope this isn't so but there's rarely a good outcome from these kind of things. Here comes a lot of flinging right back at us.

It happened in April and he was arrested then and it wasnt reported anywhere? I must have missed it...rape is the dumbest thing ever, no reason for that.

Amazing that they are able to keep something like that quiet for a couple months. Either the AJC doesn't read the police blotter everyday like you learn in Journalsim 101 or they were cooperating with Tech to keep it quiet. Be interesting to know which was the case. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not I think the AJC helps us out more than people realize.

Be interesting to know which was the case.First off, I hope this isn't true. If it is, I hope Tarrant enjoys prison. Also, after the Duke Lacrosse fiasco, I'm glad to see it take longer to reach the presses. After all those events transpired, it made me wonder whether the accused should be afforded the same privacy courtesy as the accuser because he is (or anyone else for that matter) innocent until proven guilty and the stigma that comes with being "accused rapist" even if he is acquitted has got to be just absolute torture.

I'm always skeptical of rape charges. It would be nice to know the details of the accusation. BUT! if he is guilty then stick it to him! Does help our image. What is the deal with our CB's? First Reuben now this.

My mistake, he was charged on Friday and not in April so that explains why the AJC didn't print anything until now.

Just have to let the legal system run its course. This type of thing happens too much across the college athletics landscape. Seems all schools have to deal with it and it is very unfortunate.

College football and basketball players get charged for rape a lot more than the general population. Ever known anyone personally that has been charged with rape? I sure as hell haven't. However, if you are a D-1 college football or basketball player chances are high that you do know someone.

but, CPJ is not CMR Que? Only time this happened at Ugay (that was reported), all three players, I think two basketball and one football, were immediatey suspended. The mutt (I think he was a DB) stayed gone until the charges were cleared. No participation with the team, no practice, nothing....CMR did the same thing CPJ is doing, so I don't know where this one comes from....

I sure as hell haven't. well, you do have to consider that, these guys have women basically throwing themselves at these guys constantly because of their status and potential to be making millions in a few years. Combine that with the fact that most have probably been treated like they could do no wrong and are above the law most of their lives because of their physical abilities. I think that has a lot to do with it.

Ever known anyone personally that has been charged with rape? I sure as hell haven't. I am not sure Jarrad Tarrant has flocks of women throwing himself at him...if he did then why the need to rape LOL? I understand you point IF he is already a millionaire, like Kobe...claim rape hope for a settlement, but at his stage in the game, an obscure RS Frs no one really knows about...not sure I buy that reason. Crap it seems you NEVER hear of the big NCAA stars raping...think about it...if there was anyone who would be most prone it would be them...so not sure I completely buy that reasoning but I see where you are coming from. If he did it; your second reason could be a potential...then the third reason of being raised poorly has to enter the equation too IMO; but I don't know for a fact if he was or wasnt' from a poor environment. That is PURE speculation. Then again this all could be a lie and he could go scott free. Last edited on Mon Jun 30th, 2008 09:33 pm by 33jacket |

There are plenty of women who just like dating athletes and it has nothing to do with money. It's up to that athlete to make good choices ... just like the rest of us. Tech athletes are no different w/regard to liking women and sex.

Ever known anyone personally that has been charged with rape? I sure as hell haven't. Back in the dark ages when I was in college, campus rapes occurred a lot. Things really haven't changed all that much. I volunteered on a rape crisis hotline in college and the phone hardly ever rang, although we knew from the University hospital that there were many victims that were not reporting the incidents. A lot of unreported rapes occurred at frat parties long after the late nights were over and an equal amount from non-students who stalked the co-eds. If there was ever a rape involving an athlete, it was immediately front page news on the campus newspaper while the other incidents were unnoticed. My point is: the incidents with athletes are going to get reported, whether or not they are actual rapes, while the typical, more common incidents often go unreported and are quickly forgotten. I really, really hope that Jerrard is innocent.

A victim of rape or anything else is never at fault. But more education and more awareness needs to be taught to the general public regarding not placing oneself in bad positions. In addition we as citizens have to be vigilant in taking care of each other. Alcohol or drugs are often the X factor in people making poor decisions. Both victim and attacker. Quick example: When I go to the mall or grocery story there are oftentimes women with SUVs who have the back hatch open and are facing into their cars with their backs to the world for several minutes while they load in groceries, arrange things in the back, tend to the kids, etc. leaving themselves open to attack from behind. They might as well put a huge sign on their backs that says, "Go ahead and attack, abduct, rape and kill me or do whatever else you want". Not good. Be aware of your surroundings and what you are doing. Off soapbox.

Have to agree with everybody is pretty much wait and see. However, Demjackets comments are not encouraging. PJ did right thing in suspending him immediately.
