The most serious thing the kid's ever been convicted of is a DUI. And now they're looking to send him up for a good portion of his remaining life. And you seem to be all for that. How about a little perspective here.

Have a close friend whose daughter was attacked and raped on a date in college by a supposedly all american young man. When I saw what that family went through and the vicious attacks on their daughter based on nothing but lies, I will be the first to admit my ideas on sexual attacks on campuses changed. Fortunately that young man was convicted and spent 3 years in prison. Unfortunately their daughter has never fully recovered and that breaks my heart.

rape on campus is way overblown.

Sir, this is the most ignorant statement I've ever read; and I read the perch daily. More than sufficient evidence/studies are available to disprove your comment. In fact, this single comment is rather sad for you and the countless women raped yet afraid to report as they may face an individual like yourself. His life should be ruined if guilty, the young lady life most certainly is

Your'e probably not going to like this. But a rape not reported is a rape that never happened, especially to law enforcement. Think about it. A lot of the times the woman drops the charges, has nothing to do with guys like me. If they are in a relationship, they still have feelings for the guy. In fact I would dare say no District Attorney worth their salt would even take the case. Especially after the ridiculous cyber stalking charge. It's nothing more than conviction shopping, charging him with every thing under the sun in the hopes that something sticks. ODU went through something similar. In the second or third year of our program a wide receiver (pretty good player) was accused of rape. As I recall she either dropped the charges, or he was found innocent, I don't remember which was the case.

So a rape that is never reported, never happened??? I imagine a poor girl scared to death to report a rape disagrees with you. Seriously, did you really post that comment?

Look, I know that leftist women's groups have set this issue back. The Rolling Stone fiction about the rape on the Virginia campus certainly was a travesty. Of course some rapes that are reported aren't actually rapes and that is why you pray the legal system works in those cases. Nevertheless, to think rapes that actually happened and aren't reported aren't really rapes, is beyond my comprehension.
