No charges have been filed in a case that remains open.

In an email Sadow shared with the Athens Banner-Herald, he wrote to Griffin: “We had our initial meeting with Mr. Bolden from EOO this morning. He made it very clear that no determination whatsoever of the legitimacy of the alleged sexual misconduct violation has been made.

"Accordingly, there is absolutely no reason for Adam to be suspended from the football team at this time. A mere allegation of sexual misconduct should not be sufficient to warrant a suspension. Fairness and due process require more.


I agree. He should be cleared to play until the time he is charged. Right now it's just her word that a rape occurred. An allegation like that can be made against anyone, you and me included. An allegation should not cost a person their livelihood. Now IFFFFF he is charged, he should be dismissed immediately. If he's guilty he should go to prison, but right now there is no reason he should have his life altered in any way, shape or form.

I’ll defend any female vs rape allegations if she’s an innocent victim. But, apparently, this female was drunk and showed up at AA’s home late in the night. She might very well be a victim, but the circumstances leave me suspect.

Innocent until proven guilty right?

The school is in a tough spot either way. If they do nothing, and it turns out he did do something illegal, they look terrible. If they do nothing, and it turns out he did nothing wrong, they still get potentially weeks/months of negative press/publicity until the final determination comes out.

A suspension - and hope for a quick resolution that he did nothing wrong - is the best business decision they can make, unfortunately.

I think, in this case, he misses the Mizz game and if no charges are filed by next week then he’s cleared to play until there is. If they can’t investigate and find reasons to charge him after a full week then there is nothing there.

Don’t innocent people get charged and later released when the truth comes out?

If she was raped she’s a victim, however people who put themselves in vulnerable conditions bear some responsibility. She was 21 not 12. Hope none of this is true for all involved.

What does this mean? What kind of responsibility should these people bear?

If you get drunk go to someone else’s house, get in the bed, you probably shouldn’t do that. Does it mean something bad should happen to you, no. But, a more responsible option is always available. No one knows the details of this particular situation so I’m not judging anyone.
What I’m saying is you don’t go walking at night down a crime ridden street. Responsibility!

It means that's it's time women realize that of they are showing up at a dude's house after midnight and crawling into bed with them that they are trying to get fricked. They don't get to cry rape in the morning when they regret it.

He is also injured (hand) and it is Mizzo. I hate that it just got announced on national news.

With sex crimes, it’s an unfortunate fact that men are considered guilty until proven innocent.

While I see what you are getting at about being responsible. Even if she was drunk and if the allegation is true, NO MEANS NO.

I don’t think anyone disagrees. Had she actually SAID no, you might have a point.

Nobody disagrees with this.

The point being made was that if you’re drunk and you go to a guy’s apartment after midnight, make out with the dude, then climb into his bed, and never say “No”, but just claim rape the next morning because you regret it all once sober, and use the excuse that you never actually voiced consent/said “Yes” either, well that’s overwhelmingly unfair to the guy.

It’s bullshite. Like a girl wearing a dress with 50%+ of her breasts showing, but then getting pissed at guys who look at them.

We’re living in some seriously fricked up times right now where people are actually making an effort to create situations like this so they can be offended for the attention it brings. Certainly not all, but way more than in the past.

We as a people try but will never be able to escape the human condition. Its imperfect, relationships are complicated, throw sexuality into it and becomes more so...

Wish cases of sex related crimes were sealed until verdict and people at least let the investigation finish first.

Is that was she is alleging happened? Or is that you're guessing what happened?

This is the only information I could find regarding the events.

quote:

According to an Athens-Clarke County Police Department incident report, a 21-year-old woman told police that she went to a house in Athens, Georgia, between midnight and 7 a.m. on Friday. After having drinks, the woman said, she woke up while Anderson was raping her.

Unless I'm missing something a lot of the commentary in this thread are mostly speculation.
