I wish they never published these types of charges until they were found guilty.

If he's guilty I hope he's in jail forever, but if he's not this is going to hang over his head for the rest of his life.

On Friday, Sept. 15, a Syracuse University student was arrested by the City of Syracuse Police Department (SPD) and charged with sexual abuse. The University has since issued an interim suspension order against the accused student, effective immediately. Sexual and relationship violence is not tolerated at Syracuse University. We are now doing all that we can to support and provide assistance to those affected by the alleged incident. As this is an ongoing investigation, Syracuse University will not be providing further comment.


Apparently, being accused of sexual and relationship violence is not tolerated either.

I agree with you. I was reluctant to post it.

Isn't this similar to the Edelin situation? Or am I remembering that wrong?

 

[HOFCeluck]

So if he's cleared, I wonder if DOsports will be put out a similar tweet?

Walk on. Walk off.

Yes it is. If alcohol is involved...

 

[two3zone]

in jail forever? jeez.

I have zero sympathy for somebody who takes advantage of somebody helpless, especially in sexual nature.

That means the government would prosecute people in secret.

I just wish there were ways to protect the innocent.

I just wish there were ways to protect the innocent.

do you mean the presumed innocent?

 

[two3zone]

do you mean the presumed innocent?

Well, they're innocent until proven guilty.

 

[OttoMets]

Yeah, this is tough. He looks like a scared kid, difficult not to feel bad for him.

[PhatOrange]

sucks, but ... that's on him (if the allegations are established as true). I'm reserving my sympathy for the victim.

 

[reedny]

My thought as well.

Not any more of a defense than "I was loaded when I robbed that convenience store". Anyway, this kid probably has no record. There is going to be a price, but my first question is ... is he under 19?

The DO story says that he is also 18.

The DO story says that he is also 18.

Then if he has no record, he's a YO. I'm not saying there won't be ramifications at the U level. But in the CJS, if he's a FTO under 19, he's a mandatory YO (misd.) or discretionary YO (felony). It doesn't mean he can't be punished ... but he won't have a permanent criminal record.
