Depending upon what comes out he could absolutely be in jeopardy of jail time, statue of limitations on rape is, state by state and i believe the minimum of any state is three years. I highly doubt all the relevant intel has been disclosed in the lawsuit, she might have some very powerful evidence against him. Some press hungry DA is not going to sit back and not jump on an opportunity to be a hero in a case like this, in fact they have a duty to pursue if they think a they can prove a crime and a conviction is possible.. I believe the DA said he was going to look into Antonio Browns case. He might take it up and possible try to plead AB out. But I just can’t see a conviction in court for a few reasons. 1. AB’s attorney can likely get all of the irrelevant character stuff thrown out. 2. AB will have a damn good attorney 3. The evidence does not seem strong. At least what we have seen so far. I’m not sure her testimony plus those emails would be enough to convict. 4. It only takes one person on that hurt sympathetic. To a millionaire athlete thinking he is getting extorted. Which is exactly the picture his attorney will paint. They might investigate the case. But at this juncture, if I were a DA, I probably wouldn’t prosecute this case. 13 minutes ago, eSJayDee said: Two possible scenarios as to why she would cooperate w/ the NFL. 1) The claims have minimal merit & she's just doing it to "spite" AB. 2) The claims are legit & she is then using the NFL and it's considerable resources to substantiate her claims gratis. So, your saying she’s meeting with the NFL because she is either right or she is wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stosh64 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 He should be suspended for threatening his previous GM, period. But that would take integrity from the NFL... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhhh ... that's right ... because he's not a household name like Antonio "I Got Your Back," Brown. Dodson took a plea which is the same as a conviction. So really, it has nothing to do with being on the Pats or having a bigger name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but Adrian Peterson wasn't charged with a crime but was still suspended by the NFL after their investigation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake news. There are thousands upon thousands in jail for rape. its impossible to win a criminal case with word vs word and no evidence, which you might be right in this case. Only the 2 of them would know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 NFL really did the Pats* some favors with the WR corps this offseason. They were laughably bad for a few weeks there. The like magic! Josh Gordon is no longer suspended despite his 4th indefinite suspension being applied last year and Antonio Brown just falls into their laps. How the NFL approved that contract that was reported within about 3 hours of his release is a joke to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 What I don’t understand is the 31 other owners, do they want this behavior to become a strategy for every player under contract that doesn’t like his team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need evidence for a conviction. Look how many people are in jail. There would be many more if you were guilty until proven innocent.

TigerJ Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 2 hours ago, skibum said: How does the NFL have the right to interview his accuser? They don't have any legal jurisdiction. Not sticking up for AB at all here, but this kind of stuff just blows my mind - that the NFL can conduct its own investigation of something as serious as rape, and that apparently because this is a civil case, they could go with whatever conclusion they want. And why a civil suit; why aren't the police involved? This whole thing is so bizarre to me. It's like law and order goes out the window when a famous athlete is involved. They can't make her come in for an interview, but if she's willing, there's no law against talking with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
