1st, you shouldn't believe everything you read. You have no more idea of what the truth is than any of us. Yet you're here acting all virtuous.

2nd, this is old information that has been discussed numerous times. So, for you to bring it up, you're either trolling or an idiot...maybe both?

If it’s true and it was ignored by the school that sounds like a reasonable punishment to me.

As it should be.

The focus should be on the suspect and the victim not the third party.

Yes, let's conveniently ignore the coach and the culture that enabled this.

Wouldn't Ed have had an LSU official in his office to be present during a call like that? If no other reason than as a witness to everything stated in the call?

Why do you think any LSU officials or players are going to be completely honest about what actually happened?

If the lady had not made a separate call (six days after calling the Football Operations Office) to the Student Accountability Office then there would be no report and we probably would know nothing about this incident at all.
From the USA Today article:

quote:

---

The Title IX office learned about it six days later, when Scott called the student accountability office directly. The Husch Blackwell report notes that Jonathan Sanders, the director of student accountability, took Scott’s report and then reached out to Segar, who indicated she “was aware of the information” and had been “notified about a week ago.”

That Segar did not inform the Title IX office, Husch Blackwell said, “was an error.” Segar also told the law firm “the President’s office was aware of the situation,” but there are no records indicating the president’s office reported it to the Title IX office either, the Husch Blackwell report shows.

Instead, Segar said the athletic department conducted its own investigation, which entailed interviewing Guice and a fellow football player present for the encounter, both of whom denied that it occurred. According to Segar, the athletic department consulted with “their attorney” at the Baton Rouge law firm Taylor Porter and decided they “don’t see an LSU athletics connection to the behavior if it was true.”

Husch Blackwell noted that this was “not the standard for assessing whether a report should have been made,” nor should athletics have conducted its own investigation.

“This was a call for the Title IX coordinator to make,” Husch Blackwell said.

Segar got to keep her job. Slap on the wrist. To be fair, she was doing more or less what Alleva told her to do by being the athletic department's point person for all Title IX sex matters involving athletes. But still it's pretty clear that the department as a whole was not very serious about making sure these matters were handed off to the Title IX folks and they seemed much more interested in making sure these issues were nipped in the bud before they attracted unwanted negative attention.

Its one POS thug out of the 100's that play in the league..............what's your point

I mean...she could be lying.

Everybody could be lying.

Until some more folks start talking or we get some phone records that prove somebody is lying, this is going nowhere and that's certainly what Ed is hoping for.

It would be great if somebody in these media organizations she claimed to contact would release some kind of statement but I seriously doubt they will. They are in the business of selling ads, quick clicks and getting eyeball traffic. Answering questions about how they decide what stories to run doesn't help their bottom line.

My guess is it was he said/she said with no video/audio or other sources to confirm it happened so local media decided it wasn't worth pissing off LSU over. They probably would've run something had they known (at the time) about other incidents involving Guice but back in December 2017 nobody knew outside of folks in the know at LSU. Fox 8 in NOLA did run a story about sexual assault allegations at LSU in 2015 (I think?) because it was about multiple allegations & perps. Hard to see them running a story about an isolated incident without multiple sources or a recording.

And she supposedly dropped her phone in a pot of red beans

Other than Tiger Rant, I have no eye deer where that tall tale came from.



ETA: I'm listening to her full testimony (allegedly where the red beans tall tale came from) now.

YouTube video of her testimony

That's because people hear what they want to hear.

Okay, I finally found the red beans reference in her testimony.

YouTube video of testimony

It is not a tall tale after all. Somehow local media failed to report this spicy tidbit.

My transcription for those too lazy to watch the video:

quote:

---

"I had recorded all the conversations I had with them and I was cooking a pot of red beans and talking to my niece and I dropped it in the pot of red beans."

Everybody in the room cracks up laughing.

"But I had recorded all the conversations I had."

---

I apologize. Somebody on the Tiger Rant actually reported something accurately that the local media chose to ignore entirely (as best I can tell).

This can't be posted often enough. Problems like this at rotten institutions need the light of day.

This is a cultural, systemic issue.
