nope 

Then I think you're good.

But you might be confused?  Charges against Washington would be filed in California not in Texas or Nebraska.

So by your example, if there is a law against someone misgendering a person in California and you did that from the comfort of your home in Iowa, the charges would be in California.

Are we saying it would have been a bad idea to take your friends phones in college and take dic pics and send them to random phone numbers. Asking for a friend.

I think you're good if you were in college.  

The girl in this situation was 15, however.

so if I misgender someone who lives in california on twitter can they press charges on me in Iowa? 

Are there laws against misgendering people in Iowa?

Does it matter where he was located when this took place? For example, if he was still in Texas could California come after him if he wasnt in the state? 

Perhaps since he SENT it TO California, it's subject to those laws?

Are you saying the subject of revenge porn and child pornography are "fun"?

Yes.  That is exactly what I am saying.

This could also be one of Maurice Washington's buddies just goofin and typing on my keyboard, too.

According to the investigation:

She is raped (her words) in 2016 in California.  It's recorded by the 2 male individuals and sent to people in the school.

One of the male individuals was arrested in 2016 for the video distribution.

Washington receives the video in 2016.  Then he moves to Texas sometime between February 2016 and March 2018.

Washington sends the video to the girl in March of 2018.  

I'm thinking this wasn't a friend goofing around with Washington's phone.

Or, none of the above at this point?

You really are no fun

No, we don't. We know that's what he's accused of.

He sent the video.  What he may or may not be charged legally with is irrelevant.

Just now, knapplc said:

 

Or maybe we should wait until we hear his side of the story, which may prove to be more true than hers?

 

I mean... this is all based on one side of the story.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Him sending the video is not one sided

or it was a messy breakup and she cheated on him? so he considers her a hoe? again we dont know squat 

We know he sent at best revenge porn and at worst child pornography.

Maybe we should pick sides.

Are you okay with what Washington did to the girl regardless of her age and therefore should be allowed to continue with the team?

Or

Are you not okay with what he did to the girl regardless of her age and think he shouldn't be on the team?

Or

Are you not okay with what he did to the girl regardless of her age but you're willing to let it go because he might be a good RB for 2019?

we dont even know if Maurice knew she was 15 in the video. We dont know squat yet. 

Then you just go from distribution of child porn to "only" revenge porn.  Which is still a problem.

i would rather keep the program clean.........hope Frost feels that way too.

Unfortunately, your definition of clean and what some others on here are a universe apart.

Just now, boach_clack said:

I am OK with him playing too....its an incident where he didnt record or commit the act of sexual assault. 

 

Just distributed video of a 15 year old girl having sex.  no big deal.

We have very little in the way if facts at this point, so let's back off the gas a bit. Based on the title of the article that outlet I'd clearly looking to sensationalize this story.  That being said, Washington wasn't one of the alleged assailants, nor was he responsible for production of the video.  In terms of what the University did or didn't know, the fact that former NE Attorney General Jon Bruning is representing Mo would lend itself to them at least knowing something (his version at least). Judging from the fact he was allowed to play, I would suspect an agreement was reached whereby if his version turns out to be true, he's good. He may face internal discipline obviously but will remain in the program.  If it comes out that his story doesn't check out, then I could see him being dismissed.

There is only one important fact.  He sent the video to the girl with the intent to emotionally harm her.  That's not debatable.

Agreed, which is why I'm generally alright with him playing last year while it was merely an accusation. 

 

Now? Action needs to be taken until the court case is settled. 

I can't agree with this.  He did what he did.  And he knows he did it.  If he didn't know it would possibly go down as child porn charges, I can understand that.  But what he did was wrong on many other levels beyond the legal one.

2 minutes ago, knapplc said:

 

Legally wrong.

 

 

Morally wrong. 

 

The question has to be, what legal penalty will he face?  And what's an appropriate team punishment for that legal penalty?

I don't think there needs to be a legal penalty for there to be a team penalty.  He should not be on the team if Frost is true to his "high character" standards.

1 minute ago, Cdog923 said:

 

In which case, he's guilty. 

Receiving it on his phone isn't the guilty part.  

Keeping it and sending it to the girl and calling her a hoe is the guilty part.

Just now, Ulty said:

 

Nothing involving Jon Bruning is good. Why is that scumbag a part of this?

I think you've answered your own question

Just now, BigRedBuster said:

You have absolutely no evidence to come to that conclusion.

It was said in jest.  Simmer down.  You're not the PC police

Huh?  According to the article was on campus before the school was notified.

Allowed to keep playing

In that vein, we're on our way back to the glory days! 

 

He's gone, regardless. 

Agree and agree

Well the good news is we can dispense with the notion that Frost only wants high character guys on the team.

Unnecessary attitude.

Agree to disagree

Good bye Maurice.  Next man up
