Re: Romeo and Juliet exception (again, from ACTUAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS): "However, be aware that this is a limited exception that does not exempt the defendant from a criminal charge but merely reduces the conduct from a felony to a misdemeanor offense. The conduct is still illegal, but someone protected by this exception could incur smaller fines and reduced jail time. Note that this is an exception applied in all circumstances in California, so it is not considered a 'law' in the sense that it must be argued in court."

NY Nole Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I find this not believable as an outside observer. What High School student goes to a college party and announces she is a high school student. Quote According to the lawsuit, the teen told Araiza she was a high school student and, even though he could see she was highly intoxicated, he told her to perform oral sex, then had sex with her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that actually care about the human element. A lot. If he’s guilty, cut him and let him deal with the civil and potential criminal suit. If he’s not.. well, who needs to file a criminal suit when you can simply ruin someone’s life by doing this? Read the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGFOOTspaceman Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just give him the standard 11 game suspension and move on, he'll be back before the playoffs. And before any one calls for my head here, this is a dig at the current status quo for the NFL and Watson.... If he did it, just cut him. It's a punter for Pete's sake. Next man up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which also you can be sued for Knowingly giving someone an STD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some, it's just one article, and for other,s three or five. Some are none, like the San Francsico Chronicle and Wall Street Journal. I found that out and apologized. I guess I should delete my post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just now, Steptide said: I don't want this to come across like I'm defending araiza, but I once got accused of grabbing a girls breasts when I was in school. I can tell you from personal experience, there is not a worse feeling than being accused (and hated) for something you didn't do. Having personal experience with this kind of thing, I will not judge one way or the other until all the facts are out. Well said boob grabber. Just kidding, I promise. I am sure you went through hell for that, and it sucks. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeesforclosers Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 4 minutes ago, SCBills said: Lots of posters here must feel pretty secure in their career to just call for people to be fired within five minutes of hearing about an allegation. There are a half-dozen other punters who had the good judgement to avoid situations like this. Or the decency not to do what Araiza is accused of. Dude's toast. He's gotta go.

He’ll cover and we can pick someone up on waivers. Perhaps we rated Haack so low that we were willing to take the risk, but it leaves a sour taste.

BillsSbSoon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 It doesn’t seem like any other way right now other than he’s about to get cut shortly. You think mcd is going to sit there and answer 100 questions each presser about the punter now?

Yea that part is a tough one. If she told people at the party she was a freshman he has an excuse but she says she told people she was in high school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are literally one day older than your girlfriend when you turn 18, birthday sex, by law, makes you a rapist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Steel City Mafia said: Duke Lacrosse scandal . Never know https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_lacrosse_case He admitted having sex with her. She claims she told him she was 17. I don’t really believe that to be honest. But it’s a rape investigation and she was likely still drunk when the rape kit was performed. Arazia might not have been in the room where the worst happened. But he still had sex with a drunk girl at a party that is claiming rape. If the evidence shows no DNA matches Arazia maybe he can escape.
