Yeah I really don't care for calling someone a rapist when they were acquitted. Whether he paid someone off to go away or it was just a money grab from the victim. Both are equally possible outcomes.
And I don't like signing people with that kind of baggage on their character. Even a drunk driver would be preferable over someone accused of literally date-raping two girls who were barely of age, let alone able to give consent.
Ben Roethlisberger was acquitted as well, but I bet you never thought twice about thinking bad of him for that, right?
Fair enough. I misspoke, and I was wrong about the convicted part. But I truly believe that Cephus got away with criminal sexual assault based on what I've seen of the case.I pretty much agree with the comments in-bold above.
The exception ... and reason for my question ... is that you stated in your initial response ...
"HE'S A FUCKING CONVICTED RAPIST"
That's just not a factually accurate statement.
