Being charged is still not proof of guilt. This is a very serious crime, this young mans future hangs in the balance. If guilty he will and should face the penalties required by law regarding these charges. But please, let’s not try this young man on social media, blogs and all the other outlets available to “keyboard lawyers!” Let the justice system decide this in a court of law. Either way, there is not going to be a good ending to this. So sad!
Being charged in not being guilty, but it's serious and it's not going away. Not good news for Anderson.
I hope this turns out to be far less than what is being charged.
Just asking. But if he turned himself in, does that mean he is saying he did it? I hope not.
I just don't understand how this could happen. I never went to college so I don't understand the living arrangements.
This is just so sad.
Prayers for the young lady involved.
Dude...take a deep breath and calm down. Yes this is horrible and sad news on many fronts especially for Adam and the girl involved. Prayers go out to them and their families...and for the truth to be determined as soon as possible. Yes, Adam's football career may have ended and if found guilty, he will be in prison for a long time. BUT, this is NOT the season-ending, recruit-ending, end of the world scenario you're so dramatically painting. UGA will be fine, the team will be fine, recruiting will be fine, and the players including Nolan will be fine. This is the action and bad decision-making of one young man and it is not an indictment on the entire program. Is It a distraction? Sure, but this program and team is built to withstand a lot and I'm sure the program/players have been expecting this news for weeks. So please stop with the theatrics...it's not helpful!
There’s no good way to say this, I wouldn’t go to a frat house or athlete residence sober, much less drunk. Adam’s a bonehead and totally at fault if this allegation is true but also the woman should not have been there in the state she was in and left her fate in the hands of a stranger. These players aren’t heroes, they’re people, capable of right and wrong like anyone else.
Wow. What a way to jump to conclusions. Given the information known to date how is this anything different than a he said/she said. Sorry, without a third party, I don’t see how her story is any more credible than his.
I was charged with a felony once and it was self-defense but I still had to be charged. Charges were ultimately dropped before ever seeing a courtroom or even a lawyer. Arresting someone is what is supposed to be done if there is minimal support for a complaint. So here we are. I do not expect this will ever make it to court but I could be wrong. Especially if she said no and he did not stop. Is it rape if after she awoke and said stop and he did? Did she say stop? Is it rape if it was dark and he didn't know she was asleep? What was there relationship that night? Before that night? She said she was able to leave by her own free will. I mean man there is a whole lot of gray area here it seems. Charges are the easy and expected process after a complaint where there is no evidence to disprove the complaint. Proving those charges are a totally different animal. You can indict a ham sandwich they say. Maybe there is a reasonable explanation for that evidence, maybe there is not? I know this, his football season just ended unless this is dropped. Maybe it is justified. Maybe it isn't. Guilty until proven innocent is the truth the media lives by these days. The media does not defend or support innocent until proven guilty so with that being the case, UGA has no choice but to suspend him. As far as the football season goes, no sense crying over spilled milk and move on without him. If he is innocent, hopefully this will be dropped real soon. If he is guilty then he must face the consequences of his actions. I can only imagine if he did this to my daughter how I would be feeling and how violated she would have to feel. I would want HUGE apologies and crying and tears and for him to work it off with manual labor for me, not for the state prison system or state, BUT FOR MY FAMILIES DIRECT BENEFIT. Along with some time behind bars. No sense ruining a young man's entire life over something like this if this is not a habitual thing. But he must face some consequences if he deserves it. The thing is....in something like this, the real truth is impossible to prove 99% of the time. All he has to say is that it was consensual. It was only the two of them behind closed doors you know?
Just a sad, sad thing all the way around. And regardless of the out come it serves as a warning for Both sides. Be Careful in what ever environment your in !! Don’t take Any thing for granted !! It’s a sad thing but being naive can cost you dearly in this ole world . Prayers for Both young people and families .
Hmm, but I guess that's to be expected. You may be innocent until proven guilty, but they can't put you on bail if they don't book you and ensure you don't run.
There's not much more to say on this other than to just wait and see and hope for the best on all ends. My understanding from decades ago was that a woman cannot legally give her consent for sex while intoxicated so even if she initiates it and is all over you, if she decides that it wasn't consensual the next morning then it's rape. I'm CERTAINLY no lawyer, but I suspect that if he admits to having sex with her then it's going to be a mess.
Either way, we just have to wait and see how it all plays out and hope for the best.
This story has had a funny smell since it came out. A self admitted inebriated 21 year old woman goes to someone else's residence after partying, goes to bed and looses consciousness or looses consciousness and is put to bed ... What was she doing there? How did she get there? Who else was there? Was Adam there? She left the residence on her own accord. How did she get home? Did she go home? There are a lot of questions to be asked and a lot answers we need to know. Could this be like the Duke lacrosse team accusation we heard a few years back?
One of two things is true: either he is extrememly **** and morally perverse or this is a concocted story. For what reason? I don't know. A promisary note just to make it all go away for when Adam collects his 1st round paycheck a few months from now ? The circumstances as we know them are strange.
We feel like we know these guys because they are on the team we pull for and they become family almost to us. THey seem like such nice kids. But there are stories every year across the nation where players do some **** , wierd, crazy, unlawful stuff and throw their lives away to one degree or other.
Not saying it's this way but it wouldn't be the first time a woman falsely accused someone for raping them. I seem to remember a certain Supreme Court Justice whose life was made a living hell.
