Maurice Washington Faces Charges

The point is not some fan's opinion if the charge is bogus or not. The DA has legal and moral obligation not to charge unless he is certain a crime has been committed.

Does not anyone from the AD and HC care about the reputation of the school? What about the President of the school? The latest US News has NE at the bottom of the academic ranking in the BIG. This Washington episode does not help.

NE is more than its football team.

Why are you still blabbering on about this?  He served a half game suspension and now its in the courts hands.  In all likelihood it is dropped or settled with community service over the summer.  They arent going to ruin this kids life over something stupid that he wasnt even directly involved with.

I can't understand why V01 and R01 declined to bring charges against the perpetrators in the video when the detective gave them that opportunity. Yet they want to prosecute S01. Again, they don't want to go after the people who were actually in the video allegedly raping this girl - let that sink in. Something about this is not adding up and its super shady, imo.

 

This is just a guess and I know this may sound cold but I think they want to go after MW because if they can get a guilty conviction then they can take him to civil court when he is in the NFL for $$$ because of the emotional distress that he caused.

 

FWIW, I'm not defending what MW did.

And no one is. What he did was completely and utterly wrong. But bits like this are important for context.

I am blabbering on about this because NE seems to be the only university that keeps players on the team after they have been charged by a DA with a felony.

If that does not bother you. It should. You act as if NE has no reputation to lose.

He should be suspended until the case is heard. Possession of child pormograhy is no laughing matter and I can guarantee you that there is no conspiracy. No one is going after Washington but the DA, no one else.

Did you really become a member to just post about this?? Pretty sad. Again, Washington wasn't in the video, didn't film the video, and only sent the video back to the girl in the video (who happens to be his ex gf).

Is a domestic violence charge better than this?  Because a lot of players get charged with that every year and not very many get kicked off their teams.  A lot of times it gets dropped to a misdemeanor, much like this probably will.

It would have taken minimal effort to add the word “alleged” and leaving it out seems like a deliberate move to make the action he took seem a lot worse; that makes it sensationalism to me. They are making it sound as bad as possible by calling it a sexual assault video. And to me it is a s#!t ton worse to send someone’s rape video to them vs. their consensual sex video to them.

For once we agree about an aspect of this issue.  It is certainly far more disgusting to send someone a video of them being raped than a sex tape.. One is in poor taste and the other is sick and evil.   Will we ever know whether he truly thought it was a consensual video or rape?  Not sure they will be able to prove it, but I am sure not as much benefit of the doubt would be granted in here to a student who was not a top player on the football team.  Still very comfortable with anyone having a video on their phone that depicts a 15 year old having sex. Not sure how anyone fails to realize that is child pornography that should be erased immediately.

You really think Mo considered this to be child porn?  Yes, it's child porn to you and I but I sincerely doubt he was thinking of it being that when it's someone who's almost the same age as him.

If he didn't, he is beyond stupid.  When this first was publicized, I asked my daughter, who is in the 7th grade, a hypothetical without names or leading questions regarding someone keeping a video of 15 year old girl having sex. No mention of rape.  She is advanced in her intellect, but she instantly said, almost verbatum, "They are sick losers for doing that and it is illegal because anyone who keeps or shares photos or videos of kids naked or having sex are possessing and sharing child pornography.  When I asked her how she knew these things she said kids are aware of the ways you can get into trouble with text messages or social media and only the dumbest or those don't care do things like that.  She also said the girl was lacking self esteem for doing it.

Obviously your daughter wouldn't do this, but if there was a video of her out there and her ex-boyfriend (who was close to the same age as her but a little older) had possession of it a few years after it was taken, do you think she would be accusing him of having child porn?

 She was immediately able to identify it as child porn based on the age of those who were exposed in the video, male or female.  Being the same age as them doesn't matter and she knew that.  

Personally I think the age makes a huge difference.  It's not like Mo is some old man pedophile that had video of some random child that is much, much younger than him.
