He pled guilty to lesser charges. That's the only reason why you don't see him as a fucking sex offender - as he should be. You're also omitting details about the entire encounter with the girl. He grabbed her breasts and her buttocks. Also forgetting the under-aged possession of alcohol, disorderly conduct, the obstruction of justice, the two counts of possession of a fake ID that were all dropped just so that he could cop a plea. And you don't remember that he utterly flunked the drug test at the Combine and that it wasn't even weed because the sample was so diluted? (As a reference, marijuana would have still been in his system at the time.)
I don't care how young, how drunk, or how dumb he is; sexual offenders - male or female - should be nailed to the wall if they are legal adults and knowingly commit that crime. He was eighteen. Old enough to join the army, old enough to be charged as a legal adult. Being drunk doesn't excuse it; if someone shot someone or raped someone while they're drunk, there is no "temporary insanity because I was drunk" defense for them to use.
The only reason he got off so lightly is because he was an athlete, and that's a major problem in society. You wouldn't make excuses for Joe Schmoe down the street; you'd be screaming, "Put him in jail so that he doesn't touch my daughter!" But because Mettenberger happens to be an athlete, you're saying, "Oh, he was young, drunk, and dumb."
Mettenberger is scum.
