Apparently pushed a girl around in November 2012 as well. Just reading that and the prior instances we knew of, I didn't really realize how much trouble he constantly was. Never learned a lesson.

The alleged victim told police she wanted to drop the case: "She stated she was afraid of the media and community backlash since Green-Beckham is a football player," the report states. "[She] was afraid of being harassed and having her property damaged just because she was the victim. [She] stated she did not want to deal with the mental stress of the whole ordeal; it was already making her physically sick to think about it."
She had reason to be fearful. On TigerBoard.com, a popular online forum for Missouri fans, the name-calling and harassment had begun: "Which loser arse snitch called the cops over some drunk kids arguing?" "Snitches get stitches!" "No, just a jersey chaser looking for $." "Jock sniffin for dark meat team." "Is gold digging a sport?"

I can't figure out why ESPN has such a hard on for Mizzou.
This shite happens at every P5 school, not condoning it obviously, but Mizzou is either one hell of a fricked up place, or Mizzou is being unfairly targeted.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's one hell of a fricked up place thanks to ESPN OTL.
I don't believe that for a second.
Where were these assholes when Nebraska was winning titles with Lawrence Phillips and Christian Peter, among many others?
I'll tell you where they were. They were talking about how great those fricking teams were.
frick you ESPN. You've made your name enabling legitimate criminals. DGB was tossed from our team, you don't get to decide that it's time to start policing now.

Yeah, I don't either. Really don't give a shite. F them.

I think they did say that Mizzou was 2nd only to FSU in the number of sexual assaults reported against athletes. It don't bother me that the issue is raised. What bothers me is that it seems to continue to be raised in different forms, but saying the same thing over and over.

And tossed despite no charges. It would be nice to highlight that. Many coaches would have kept him unless or until charges were pressed.

ESPN has a penchant for running stories on MU because they already have a lot of data on us so it is little work to just add us into any narrative. They are lazy.
Between Derrick Washington, Michael Dixon, and DGB they have enough to make us look bad for years. Add to that the Menu-Corey story and its a culture of rape.
It doesn't matter if any other athlete at MU never did anything wrong, those 4 things would give ESPN enough ammo for almost any story.

What I find funny is that we're the school that dismissed him, even without charges, but does Oklahoma get grief for giving him a "second chance"??

Paula Lavigne is a friend of the tutor that got sexually assaulted. They cycle together in Dallas. It doesn't help that she is a Cornhusker. The 3 players that were responsible for the assaults against women were all kicked out of school, but one is too many. I bet our 38% of cases not prosecuted is in the lower tier of all schools, but Mizzou will always be the lead in a Lavigne story.

That makes sense now.
She obviously has a bone to pick with Mizzou and now we know why.

Totally agree Reedus.

I would like to see what those actual numbers were. I didn't see the actual numbers of sexual assaults listed. The second accusation against Dixon was kinda shady IMO (and DWash's 1st reported one has at least a question mark with it). Does one less sexual assault drop us to tied for 30th? I'd guess the lack of reporting on the actual numbers might be instructive.
Make no mistake, I don't feel good with the way my alma mater handled a couple of these cases (esp. Dixon's first one). But inflating and conflating don't help solve problems. It just sells Internet advertising.

Completely agree 808. It's kind of like people talking about Missouri being the biggest meth state. No. We just clamp down tighter than anyone else and bust them. Doesn't mean we have the most.
Same deal here. Maybe we are up there with reported sexual assaults because we take it serious and it gets reported, which is a good thing despite the very bad thing that happened. Sure beats the hell out of the schools where it doesn't get reported at all.

That sums it up quite well.
DWash got what he deserved. Dixon eventually got kicked out too. Interesting that Latarian is trolling this on tRant but neglects to mention that the coach who kept Dixon through the first incident now coaches at Arkansas.
There is no place for sexual assault at Mizzou or any other university. But I don't believe we have a worse problem than most schools.

The hard on by ESPN is probably from MU alumni that work for ESPN. Remember we are the number one journalism school in the country.
I can see a few of the journalism school "nerds" getting red arse over something that happened while they were at Missouri and the school administration did nothing. "I have a soapbox now and I will show you"

They did say that Mizzou was 2nd to Florida State, but that statement is very misleading. To be correct it should state that Mizzou was 2nd to Florida State among the 10 schools they focused on. Who knows what the stats are for the other 100+ FBS schools.
Further, to a point that was made earlier, NONE of this new news. It has already been covered so now it is just slinging mud.
Finally, with regard the subject and OP, witnesses to the incident involving DGB have said that she was the instigator and she herself said she went BACK to HIS room to continue the incident and physically attacked HIM.
