First-round prospect CB Gareon Conley faces sexual assault allegation/Raiders take a chance on him

[Soul Surfer]

I hate it when that happens in an elevator!

But a lot better than what happened to Ray Rice's wife in the elevator.

It may be able to be proven true one way or the other.
If there was a camera in the elevator they can get a professional lip reader who might be able to figure out what was actually said, if anything.

How hard is it to stay home and go the the freaking gym for a few months? crap, it's like rocket science. When I was that age I might of been dumb asf but for millions it would of been easy to stay home for a few months.

True. But,then again you didn't have people falling down all around

Gareon Conley -- a projected 1st round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft -- has been named in a police report by a woman who claims he raped her in a Cleveland hotel but he adamantly DENIES the allegations.

The 21-year-old was a superstar cornerback at Ohio State University and draft experts say he could be drafted as high as #10 in the draft on Thursday.

But according to a police report filed in Cleveland, a 23-year-old white female told police Conley violated her in a hotel suite bathroom at a Westin hotel on April 9.

According to the report, the accuser says she met Conley in an elevator and he asked her to have a foursome with another friend of his. The woman says she declined and offered to watch the other people have sex instead.

A short time later, the woman says Conley unbuttoned her pants and began to have sex with her. She claims she said, "No, stop, it hurts!" but he kept going until he finished. She says he then kicked her out of the hotel room.

The woman called 911 and described her assailant as a "black male who wouldn't take his sunglasses off and had an Ohio State tattoo on his left forearm."

The woman says she went to a local hospital where a rape kit was administered. But she refused to speak to cops afterward.

As for Conley, two of his friends who were at the hotel were interviewed by police and told cops Conley never hooked up with the woman and that she was just mad that she got kicked out of the room.

Conley's attorney spoke with Cleveland19 and denied the allegations calling the accusations "ludicrous and ridiculous."

Cops are investigating but so far no arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.

Story developing ...

That was fast.

The story sounds so bizarre. Don't know what really happened. I guess prospects should stay away from late night activities before they sign a contract.

If she is crying wolf, they need to come up with a charge for these type of situations. It's straight up bullshit that a woman can just cry rape and ruin a man's reputation just like with the Brian Banks situation. Equality my ass.

There are criminal charges in most states for filing a false police report, obstruction of justice, perjury if it comes to that - but these cases are seldom prosecuted.

It's a pickle - you want victims to feel comfortable coming forward but you certainly want to protect against false accusations. I have long advocated for criminal charges to be private - at least - until after a conviction. No more mugshots in the newspaper, publishing police reports and poisoning jury pools. We are all so quick to rush to judgment that we really need to examine the process to protect us from ourselves.

I just saw that he is not attending the draft now ... probably the right call.

Does Conley come off your board?

His name has been thrown around here in Phila as a possible choice for the Eagle in round one pick #14. Oh the radio talk shows will be on this. I'll be listening in a little while.

I would have a team investigator with boots on the ground in Cleveland as we speak. I'd have him or her or vying to talk to detectives, witnesses, trying to find video, looking into the background of the alleged victim - a full PI assault.

I advocated the same for Collins - teams spend so many resources looking into these players there is no reason to stop now. Give a PI $50k to get info and a good one will get that info.

If he wouldn't take his sunglasses off, it's possible he didn't tell her who he was and didn't want to.

If that's the case, he's guilty IMO.

 

[FrantikRam]

Whether he's guilty or not, this is so incredibly stupid. You know what constitutes sexual assault these days - how thin that line is - having a foursome you're opening that door. He would officially be on my do not draft list, and I say that as OSU fan who liked Conley.

You can catch a sexual assault charge for peeing in a bush at night and someone seeing you... even if you thought you were alone. You were exposed, thus indecent exposure, thus misdemeanor (or Felony if there's subsequent charges) and have to register on the Sex Offenders list for life.

For peeing in a bush at night.

Yeah, some sexual assault charges are completely overreaching and some people who are on the list, get randomly demonized for being a predator or rapist just because they have a misdemeanor "sex" crime.

Huh? Haven't you heard Aerosmith's "Love In An Elevator"?

It's the "going down?" Question that always throws me.

 

[shaunpinney]

I have a close friend who was raped, she couldn't take it far because the police told her that the accused had great legal representation and they'd pull her kids into it. Even though he was on their 'watch list' of sexual abusers.

Yeah me too. If I had a dollar for every time that has happened to me....

Millions of young people are having sex with strangers every minute of the day. Young men's dicks are hard and they want to fuck. It's easy to say stay in your room but these guys are used to having sex with skanks. Would be hard for them to just stop.

The team could easily recoup that fifty-grand if he fell to even the second or third round.

Strange....

I've read an article saying that flirting with a female is now considered sexual harassment. A lot of allegations coming out of the woodwork. Whats the trigger? My guess fame, greed.

Did you read what she said ?? That's a messed up statement in the They find his juices . ---- She did go to the hospital to have a test done. There is a reason that happened.

I don't know if the police made her do it because of activate ask you actuations ?

DNA won't lie . Why did she get kicked out ?

Read some posters up top. I guess when you make Allegations like that it's a serious matter. Police must be procedure on cases like these.
She basically said he came inside her. --It helps the court system & protects both party's .Either he did or he didn't ?? I'm guessing no condom ?? Which would be extremely stupid for a guy about to make $15 million plus .
