    They might, but that kind of thing is incredibly difficult to prosecute because it comes down to a "he said, she said" situation with no real proof one way or the other.....again, just look at how Kobe got away with raping that one woman in Colorado.

    Civil court has different standards for proof which makes that a better avenue for these kinds of things.

    Sodomy can be oral sex in a legal context.

    You mean civil court has less of a standard for proof.

    In a criminal trial you have to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, for civil cases you have to prove a preponderance of the evidence....that it's more likely than not that the person is guilty.

    That's a massive difference.

    The only real question... when does Deshaun post another song lyric?

    The silver lining is they continue to hold on tradindng Deshaun, like they always have, except now they won’t be overly criticized by every media outlet for hanging onto him.

    He either plays for them or he doesn’t. He may choose to play to try and rehab his image.

    I am not quite sure honestly where he plans to go with it. It would be more likely that the league condones and has a culture that allows these type of things to happen.

    Playing football doesn't rehab your image as an alleged rapist. This is now bigger than football. I expect a huge countersuit is on it's way from Rusty. Defamation, Libel the works.

    As if most of the other swinging dicks that contact these low level masseuses aren't propositioning them too.

    That in itself is the problem. He’s got to be smarter than that. He can afford to pay for women’s discretion, top flight call girls are at his disposal. He chose to go with a different direction, and it’s probably going to cost him far more than he bargained for.

    Big Ben seems to be doing okay and he is a rapist.

    It’s the only thing he knows how to do. Worked for Kobe, worked for Rothlesberger... and they actually did what they were accused of.

    If a millionaire forced me to have oral sex with him or her, and I wasn't cool with it, I'd be seeking millions, not $500.

    Just saying.

    Right. Nobody is touching Watson right now. Could you even get a single first round pick for him? I don’t know how quickly this is resolved either way but on the football side Watson’s only road to rehabilitation may be to suck it up and be a Texan.

    If Watson is innocent, that's a logical move.

    Let all the facts come out. But if he's guilty, the Texans should void his contract immediately.

    For those of you wondering why/how someone would file these cases for the specific purpose of tarnishing someone's reputation or assassinating their character... look no further than the comments in this thread alone.

    Not picking on anyone in particular, but the comments tell the tale.

    Everything from memes and jokes (fairly funny ones too) all the way to people assuming guilt.

    Regardless of the outcome or the truth (if we ever get there), this particular damage is done.

    Ezekiel Elliott was caught exposing a woman’s breasts at a party a few years ago and nobody cares.

    This will all blow over eventually. I give it a couple of weeks before people move on and forget it even happened.
