Consent in California is 18 and she was 17. Yikes That's where the whole thing gets confusing for me because the whole incident happened apparently a year ago, but that's as far as things went before the present lawsuit. Need to see what else shakes loose I guess. 3 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 I was just thinking this would be a hell of a thing to miss in the predraft process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be a Bill much longer, and more importantly I hope the claim is investigated fully and the wrongdoers are punished to the fullest extent of the law.

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 So this happened back in October? Like How could the Bills not know this? ..

He already admitted to having sex with her. Unless the physical injury details reported are just wrong, then there’s some minimal predatory stuff going on here.

Success Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He's an exciting player to have - but football is just a game. If it's determined that he's guilty, he should face all & any consequences that come w/ that. Money, fame & value to a sports franchise should have no bearing. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a medical exam, but what she claimed was her injuries: From the LA Times article The teen “stumbled out of the room bloody and crying. Her nose, bellybutton, and ear piercings had been pulled out, and she was also bleeding from her *****.” —— Also believe there’s a statute of limitations for tort cases in Cali of a year, which makes sense why they filed civil suit now, as the incident allegedly happened in October 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) 36 minutes ago, bill8164 said: https://t.co/gdfvXTlVK4 So the accusations are horrid, but it's not clear that Araiza is being accused of rape? Quote Matt Araiza, 22, whose powerful and precision kicking in college earned him the moniker “Punt God,” was accused of having sex with the minor outside the home and then bringing her inside to a room where she was repeatedly raped. The lawsuit, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, alleges the then-high school senior went in and out of consciousness but remembers moments as the men took turns assaulting her. Note that while described as "a minor", the alleged victim was then 17 years old, which is above the age of consent anywhere, and what Araiza did is not being described as "rape", but as "having sex with". I'm going to let this one play out. Edited August 25, 2022 by Beck Water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
