It was potentially a rape charge that got dropped; the courts decided the woman has to compensate £27,300 to the school. And they lecture the world about women's rights... |

Isn't the real question why this guy was back in the same school, playing sports- and not in jail? That is the American "justice" system- if you can pay for a good lawyer you can plea bargain your way out of rape to have it be a "misdemeanour"- you know what a misdemeanour is- a speeding ticket!! (but only if less then 85 mph)
Rape == speeding ticket Rape < speeding 90mph ticket ![]() |

![]() This man isn't in jail because in the South sports are incredibly important, even highschool sports. I'm willing to bet that was part of the plea bargain, and he's probably a really good player or something so they cut the deal. The cheer that she was supposed to say makes it worse. I don't want to post it here because it's quite vile. |

It probably wasn't rape to begin with, she probably got too drunk to realize that she allowed him and probably wanted him to have sex with her. In the morning when realizing her mistake wanted to take it out on him by saying he raped her. This is from the Writ of Certiorari filed in court: In the early hours of October 19, 2008, H.S., a 16-year-old female member of the Silsbee High School cheerleading squad, was pulled into a game room by three males at a post-game house party and, in the dark room, behind a locked door, was sexually assaulted or raped by a high school athlete, Rakheem Bolton (“Bolton”). When other students at the party heard H.S.’ cries, they started forcing the locked door, causing Bolton and a companion, Christian Rountree (“Rountree”), to break a window and flee the house into a stand of woods behind the house. The emotional and partially disrobed H.S. was found by the rescuing students under a pool table.[...]Her therapist in that program advised her to resume her normal academic and cheerleading activities. The lot of us know that this is the natural consequence of such a sick society, but that doesn't make anything that was perpetrated by the teenager in question excusable. |

No, what happened was that he held her down and raped her in a locked room and then ran off in the night like a highwayman. |

Were you there to see what happened? I wasn't so I don't take her word for it. She could have said anything to make it seem like rape, were there other people there to testify about what happened? Or is it her word against his? Why are you so willing to attribute malicious motives to her just like that when the facts are plain? |

The western media views the muslim society with a microscope and puts any small incident in the front page. And on net it remains for days. Comments on the story runs for days. But incidents like this and the australian story go unnoticed. I say that they see through the microscope but from other end of the microscope, if you see through the other end of microscope the same thing looks small and at a far distance. |

Or is it her word against his? Even so, the courts should not have made her pay compensation if it was just about her word against his. In reality it is about what is expected from a cheerleader, which is, she has no say and must obey the social and cultural norms - of what is expected of a women in her work - in order to honour the image of the college and its sport-stars. |

I remember there was a case last year where a group of guys and a girl invited one of the girls friends over to her house and got her drunk and afterwards the guys raped the girl videotaped it and distributed it out to the high school. The guys were found not guilty because the drunk high school girl had said "ok" just before she passed out. The courts ruled that she gave consent.
