Definitely convinced the whole thing is extremely sordid and I certainly would be ashamed if my son was involved or willing to stand up for those who participated.

They did get a promise of a fair hearing with various different parties being there. The victim/survivor might get the worse of this whole mess which is very unfortunate but typical it seems where sports stars are concerned be they college or professional. Things are changing though.
This kind of crap also happened at the U of MN Law School while I was there but came down to he said/she said and did not involve completed acts just the threat of them.
