The court of public opinion passes judgment, rightly or wrongly, on everything that happens. Nothing can be done about that. All DU can do is handle things in the best way possible and I believe that, so far, that is being done. Let's hope for the best outcome for all. AT THE GAME TONIGHT!! Don't look at it as a PR thing. Two lives involved, which could be forever changed. Hey in this day and age, with all the hysteria and so many guys getting railroaded and falsely accused by women, not to mention having their 4th and 5th amendment rights denied by college kangaroo courts, I believe more than ever in "innocent until proven guilty." If the rules were the same in the early 70's as they are today, I would be finishing up my 40 year sentence. Tau Delts, Lambs and Delta Zetas. Just one continuous party. Um, I know that was meant in jest, but as the father of two daughters I've come close to blotting out a couple lives who thought life was one continuous party. Kick him out of the school. Kick him out of the school. Why don't we let the legal process play out, and let the courts determine his guilt. It would be a damn shame to kick a kid out of school who is found not guilty. Um, I know that was meant in jest, but as the father of two daughters I've come close to blotting out a couple lives who thought life was one continuous party. Sorry. Stupid post and I regret it. Peace brother. Um, I know that was meant in jest, but as the father of two daughters I've come close to blotting out a couple lives who thought life was one continuous party. Sorry.

So you are admitting to being a seriall rapist? Those of you who don't think this hurts the school's image are just blinded by your fandom.

"I don't believe there will be a hit to DU's "PR status" Nice out-of-context quote, Buzz. How many universities are there that have no rape cases pending? If not zero, it's pretty close. Those of you who don't think this hurts the school's image are just blinded by your fandom. Just to be clear: I am NOT worried about PR and image etc. Just to be clear: I am NOT worried about PR and image etc. We don't know that "hookup culture" had anything to do with this. We know none of the details. 35 years ago, the program was basically wrecked by a situation that involved several players in a room with a girl, plus alcohol. This is always a combustible combination. Hopefully, it will all come out in the wash.

I agree, 81, as noted by: "it was a reference to societal change that was not intended to be specific to this situation. " Update on the case: I heard that news as well. Can any of our experienced legal beagles comment on this development? Is this at all unusual, or would the accuser not be expected to appear at the preliminary hearing? Was she represented by an attorney in her absence? Is this a significant event? I heard that news as well. Can any of our experienced legal beagles comment on this development? Is this at all unusual, or would the accuser not be expected to appear at the preliminary hearing? Was she represented by an attorney in her absence? Is this a significant event? If she doesn't show up for the next hearing, the judge would likely toss the charges. This happens a good bit. The alleged victims just decide that they want nothing to do with the case anymore. These cases are often he said/she said cases, so without a victim to testify, they aren't typically winneable. I heard that news as well.

Sometimes these cases involve questionable judgement on the part of the accuser that they'd rather not get out. Alcohol may be involved, or sometimes the sex starts out as being consensual between the victim, and one of the accused, but becomes a situation where other males who might be present decide that they want some too, and this is where the crime may have occurred. I believe this is the situation that got the rapper Tupac sent to prison when he made a girl he was having sex with, have sex with his buddies as well. Even though a crime may have taken place, some women would not want all of the details to come out, as some of those details may cast her in a bad light.
GOOD LUCK DU WOMEN in NIT

Those of you who worry about PR when two lives are being changed forever - regardless of what happened, one unjustly - don't have your priorities straight.

Re: Nick Washington Charged With Rape
Yes, it is about two individuals and the real concern is about what happened, what is true, and the resolution of the allegations. The lives of the people involved are what matter.
The very short note I initially wrote was intended to talk to the effects of the cultural changes of the publicized "hookup culture." It was a short statement because it was a reference to societal change that was not intended to be specific to this situation.
