Are people still so sheltered in the year 2022 that they are unaware this sort of behavior is disgustingly common, and that just because you didn't ever see it happen with your own eyes doesn't mean that your experience is everyone else's truth? I've been around. It's working class/white trash/hood "it ain't no fun unless we all get some" trash. At least what you're describing. Not saying middle class and upper class doesn't have their own crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Not to trouble the discourse with injection of facts, but here is the actual lawsuit, courtesy of the San Diego Times https://timesofsandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/player-suit.pdf It's not pretty reading. Sounds like Araiza is toast under Cali statutory rape law.

UKBillFan Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 For me, the following should be put to Beane. Whether he’ll answer is another question entirely. - Did the front office know about the allegation prior to Araiza being drafted? If so, why did they decide to draft him? - If not, did they know about the allegation prior to cutting Haack? If so, why did they decide to leave us in a potentially tricky position heading into a Super Bowl run? If not, why not, when it was in the public domain a month ago? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deep investigate potential 1st rounders, and that is it. I know for a fact that private investigations aren’t used strictly on first round picks. Every potential Bills draft pick is subject to background checks and other investigative processes. Some go deeper than others depending on what the initial investigation reveals. I’d be surprised if the Bills weren’t aware of the incident by the time their draft board was constructed. As I said earlier, my concern is they received unreliable information since no criminal investigation was being conducted by SD police at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to agree with this but I don’t understand how the most hyped punter I can recall prior to the draft (with stats to back that up) was not the first punter off the board. He also lasted until round 6. There is plenty of history of ***** kickers and punters drafted in the top 3 rounds. Just doesn’t add up. I think teams knew.

If she was drunk and also given a drug her memory could be very spotty unfortunately. That’s the problem in general with these types of cases. Often times they can be he said she said which doesn’t bode well if there was a rape and no physical proof. Matt could have had sex consensually and she could have been rapes in the room. on the exempt list until it’s sorted out and cut if he is charged. in california, a 17 year old minor is unable to consent to sex, in the eyes of the law. 21 year old Matt , birthdate 5-16-2000, cannot legally have consensual sex with a 17 year old. period 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
