Mr. WEO Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 8 minutes ago, djp14150 said: big question I have….if they have DNA,they should have tested people accused by now. And they should have been charges by now. it’s always innocent until proven guilty. she mentioned his name because she probably already knew him at the party. That does not mean he is the one who did it. by the way, he’s now in the NFL so lawyer is willing to sue because he does have money. See if they can settle for a payday. "No arrests have been made and San Diego police have not publicly identified any suspects. Detectives recently submitted their investigation to the San Diego County district attorney’s office to determine whether charges should be filed." "At the request of police, she made pretext calls — recorded by detectives — with the men named in the lawsuit whom police “had determined were present in the room when the rape occurred.” Araiza, the complaint alleged, confirmed on a call in late October that they had sex and recommended she get tested for a sexually transmitted disease." Doesn't sound like a shakedown. She went to the cops soon after, then the hospital. The school dragged it's feet, the SDPD seems to be slow rolling this, so she decided to sue to get it out there. Puts the pressure on the DA. Since she was underage, consent isn't an issue. It's at least statutory rape. Since at the time of the attack, he was more than 3 years older than her, it's a felony. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously ***** has blown up now. I don’t think they knew until maybe the last couple days. Typically a reporter will contact the team for comment before running the story.

jkirchofer Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 6 minutes ago, Kmart128 said: I dont think so for 3 reasons. 1. This has been investigated for a year and no criminal charges have been handed out yet. 2. Araizas Lawyer is denying that he was even in the Bedroom 3. Sounds like Bills looked into the situation previously 1.The criminal investigation has just now concluded according to the LA Times article. 2. What is his lawyer supposed to say? 3. I would be really disappointed if they knew the extent of the accusations and still drafted him since they preach culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be so afraid of being a single guy and trying to hook up in this day and age. Especially if you have some notoriety. Sad situation if any of it is true. so then you don’t hook up with an underage girl for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I've heard this discussed and Matt's name thrown around for a few weeks here in San Diego, but didn't want to spread any hearsay here on the board. Things don't look good for Matt. If the rape kit contains his DNA, he is toast since the alleging party was 17 at the time. Hopefully, the truth comes out and justice is served - whatever that turns out to be in this situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 6 minutes ago, Beck Water said: Edit: I opened my yap too soon. Apparently, in California, the age of consent is actually 18 https://www.newmanallen.com/blog/2021/august/what-is-the-age-of-consent-in-california-/ And there is no "Romeo and Juliet" exemption So in Cali, apparently if two high school students under 18 have sex after the prom, that's rape? No Romeo and Juliet exception? I have a tab open right now from a Californian defense firm website specifically talking about how there is one and how it works there.

BuffaloBills1998 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 42 minutes ago, HappyDays said: The only possible saving grace is if he can reasonably claim that he didn't know her age. A lot of title IX cases involve drunken sex at parties. It's really hard to prove wrongdoing in those cases. Obviously a lot more facts will have to come out before we have any idea what happened here. That doesn’t matter, the fact she was underage is still by law statutory rape.

ColoradoBills Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 2 minutes ago, Beast said: No, one of the actors has to be 18. As weird as it sounds it's true. https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/261-5/ Minors can be charged in statutory rape cases It’s important to remember that you can be charged even if you are a minor — that is, under 18-yourself when the intercourse occurs!11 This may seem a little crazy…since in a case like this the defendant is technically also a “victim”. But it’s the law.12 Many prosecutors in California don’t make it a priority to prosecute teenagers for having sex with other teenagers. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.13 A case where the defendant is also a minor will probably be tried in the California juvenile court system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieEm Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 35 minutes ago, JohnNord said: Sounds like the Bills knew about this already…possibly before they cut Haack. So there’s a possibility they investigated it already and still kept Araizia on the team. Beane and McDermott aren’t the type that will takes these kind of chances so maybe there’s more to the story. We don’t know yet Don't know if he's innocent or guilty. While I hope he is innocent if he is not than I got no problem seeing him sentenced to prison where his new roommates will demonstrate how the young women felt.
