If had raped her he would have been arrested, charged, and tried for rape. He would have been jailed last year, not playing vs Clemson on Saturday. No Heisman trophy, no scholarship, and that would pretty much have ended his college football career. Maybe he still has a shot in the NFL (if some franchise thinks he is worth the risk) but its unlikely that any would.Obviously if he raped his accuser, he's a shitbag but I don't believe he did. Nothing else he has done is any sort of big deal on the surface (minor shoplifting charge, shooting a BB gun, "stealing" Sprite from Burger King with a ketchup cup) - and the latter two incidents (along with the rape charge) happened before he was the QB at FSU.
He wasn't arrested. He was never charged. There was no "rape." What there was instead was regret on her part as to what she did (give consent.) That is not in doubt, not in dispute. It is not in doubt because she did talk to the police and the DA. The DA would have gone after Jameis if they actually believed she was truly violated. They didn't. This is one of those instances that the GOP gets themselves in trouble with women voters because they tend to discriminate consent then regret from REAL rape. Women most certainly do not like to hear these things because this level of brutal reality is not an issue the majority of women can talk about objectively without getting emotional.
What might be in doubt, what most certainly is disputable is the cause for that regret. Why is she sorry (NOW) that she fucked Jameis Wisnton? I think what might have happened is a pretty, white, blonde, FSU co-ed freshman, got a phone call from her bigot daddy who just found out from a family member that his lovely, pure, innocent (and in his mind, virginal) daughter, just had her hymen "ruined" by a black boy. And he probably wanted to know what happened and (if she let him do this to her) how disappointed and ashamed he was of her. Why is he spending all that money to send her to school to work on her MRS degree if she is just going to fuck the black boys? The last thing she wanted to feel is "shame" so as to not let her bigot daddy down, just tell him that... she was raped. That way its not her fault. I find this scenario entirely too easy to believe. But that was then and this is now.
Now? The young man is a knucklehead. Forget the crab legs, he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. That is his problem. And (for shooting off his mouth) he probably deserves much worse than a 30 minute game "time-out." Lucky for Jameis that FSU is still undefeated, they are playing Clemson this week, and Jimbo Fisher wants to get them into the playoffs at all costs. He has a $4mil dollar a year contract to protect, he is not likely to do so by losing rightously (at home) to a school like Clemson who just graduated their entire offense last year.
