Anonymous Player Arrested For Sexual Assault Comment Count

Brian

Ugly legal event:

A University of Michigan football player was arrested this morning after a female student reported he sexually assaulted her.

The man has been questioned and is scheduled to be released shortly as detectives continue to investigate the 2 a.m incident in the 600 block of South State Street, Ann Arbor police Det. Dave Monroe said.

Police would not release the name of the player today.

A tipster has given me the name of this player but I'm not sure if there's some sort of legal thing that would get me pwned if I relate it. The player in question did not see the field this year but is/was expected to start next year. (No, not Justin Turner.)

Update: don't comment about the name.

Update II: I probably should have done this before I put the post up, but I eliminated the comments after they veered off into long discussions about false accusations that got ugly and political.

...you can't hold a whole [football coaching staff] responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole [college football coaching] system? And if the whole [college football coaching] system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, [college football fans] - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen! -Otter, ad hoc defense counsel Innocent until proven guilty. Rejoice that our university community is strong enough to weather dragging truth into the sunshine even when this divulges potentially injurious facts. We should never sweep ugliness under the rug but instead confront it head on and do the right thing. We're Michigan, for Pete's sake. The world expects the best from us because we deliver over the long haul. No trucker jokes regarding length or loads please.

I've said some pretty ugly things. I was wrong. They were in the Ohio State game. I watched it in Atlantic Coast Conference territory. Those folks love RR!!! They are right. They know that he is a damn good coach. It take TIME to change systems. RR shoudd be given at least two more years to recuit his team. To those whom I pissed off, sorry. Luckily, I am not the coach.
