1ManRaid Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 19 minutes ago, Beast said: I just read the article. She did file a pllice report before this. I can tell you this, with the alleged audio call (recorded) to Araiza, and his remarks from that call, this does not look good at all. Mark my word, the boy is going to get arrested. He is at the very least going to be had for a statutory rape charge and maybe a lot worse. Let me start off by saying that if the allegations are true, he deserves to be buried under the prison. But the phone call that "does not look good" for him? Hypothetically if he was innocent, and she's suddenly asking weirdly pointed questions about their encounter over the phone when you know an investigation had already been opened, I don't blame even an innocent man to be having massive alarms screaming "SHUT YOUR MOUTH SAY NOTHING FUTHER TO HER" in his head. Innocent or not, YOU DO NOT TALK TO POLICE, and it's not unreasonable to assume she was being directed by police on that call. Police/investigators are very good at getting even innocent people they have their sights on to say things that could be twisted and construed into being evidence against them. Talking to police, even if you are 100% innocent, can LITERALLY do nothing to help you. As for statutory rape in California, their laws are kind of insane. I don't have much to say about this case in that regard because she has to prove she was telling the truth in that he knew she was under 18, but their law is ridiculous. You and your girlfriend could both be 17 in California, with your gf being exactly 1 day younger than you. Every day you have sex and it's apparently perfectly fine. That is, until your 18th birthday, AND ONLY ON THAT SPECIFIC DAY, it is suddenly illegal to have sex with her. Then the next day she also turns 18, and all is good again. The "Romeo and Juliet exception" would reduce your punishment, but there would still be a charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a tweet at Matt a month ago but it never made it to Buffalo media for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Bills won't give in to any sort of public/ESPN pressure to cut him prematurely. They should stand by their assessment of the situation - the fact it goes public changes nothing factually - and let the process play out.
