cmb23 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Am I missing a post or has this not been brought up yet? My apoligies if it is a duplication.... Former Husker charged with child sex assault By the Lincoln Journal Star Wednesday, Mar 21, 2007 - 05:15:57 pm CDT Eric L. Alford, a stand-out player on Nebraska’s 1994 national championship team, was arraigned Wednesday in Lancaster County District Court on a charge of first-degree sexual assault of a child. Alford, 34, 327 N. 24th St., pleaded not guilty to the charge, a felony punishable by up to 50 years in prison. Lancaster County District Judge Earl Witthoff set a tentative trial date of May 21. Authorities arrested Alford in February when a 12-year-old girl told child welfare workers he had had a sexual relationship with her for four years. The girl said the contact began as fondling in 2003 and developed into sexual intercourse about two years ago, according to Lancaster County District Court records. According to the records, Alford allegedly told the girl after each alleged assault to not tell anyone. Alford played tight end for Nebraska in 1993 and 1994. He was honorable mention All-Big Eight in 1994. Quote Link to comment
SoonerOLB Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 That's pretty ugly. Sorry to hear about that. I pray for the girl, for healing and justice. Quote Link to comment
PIMPZILLA Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Dude should be thrown in jail. Period. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Oh, there's no doubt. It's just a question of how close to the max of 50 years he gets. Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thats freakin gross, I dont think prison is enough, he should get the death penalty. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Do you want to tell a 12 year old girl that a man died because of her? Stick his ass in prison for the rest of his life without the possibility of getting out if its true. I would rather die than live locked up. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Cut off his testicles and put him in the worst prison they can find. F'ing scum. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Innocent until proven guilty? If he is in fact found guilty, by all means lock him up chemical sterilization whatever. However, we have seen this numerous times only to have little to no merit. Remember Kobe Bryant? He was found innocent because the girl changed shifts to be close to him, there was two other sperm donors besides his found in her underwear, etc. Sometimes especially sexual assault with a minor, the victim names a violator other than the actual violator because they are someone close to the victim and they were sworn or threatened not to reveal them.

cmb23 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Sorry. 2 completely different things. Kobe is a superstar, and the girl was of legal age. She had something to gain (money, publicity, etc.) by going public whether it happened or not. This is a 12 year old (8 when it started) going public with a washed up nobody's 'alleged' actions. What does she, her family or anyone have to gain from this? Nothing. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 It's a damn shame. Did he play with Shevon Wiggins? Quote Link to comment
Jarred04 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yeah, I would leave Kobe out of this. Totally different. That is disgusting. I hope he gets whats coming to him, and I pray that girl can lead a somewhat normal life after this. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 It's a damn shame. Did he play with Shevon Wiggins? Well...let's do the math. Wiggins was a Freshman in the 94-95 season. So he would have been recruited as a high schooler around 92, 93, 94. People in high school are generally 18 and under, which is a minor. Alford played around 92-94. So if the team had Alford go and talk to receiver and tight end recruits, or recruits visited campus and met with Alford....he probably played with Wiggins too. Oh....you mean were they on the same team during college??? Sorry....the 'play with' confused me. Quote Link to comment
