Reports: Ex-Saint Darren Sharper arrested on rape charges

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I need more information before I make any judgements about this, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't freaking out a little about it. Say it isn't so....

I dont know if it's something to freak out about. It's not like he was a friend or family member hiding in plain sight who you had let baby sit the kids and gone on vacation together. It's not a reflection on our team. I just think it's rediculous he lost his job without having a chance in court. The NFL could care less if he did it or not they just want to cover their ass like the people at A&e did with duck dynasty.

Re: Reports: Ex-Saint Darren Sharper arrested on rape charges

When people think of rape, a lot of them think of a creeper hiding in the bushes for the unsuspecting female victim to pull up in her car and walk into her house or the creeper waiting behind the tree in the middle of the night for the late night jogger to come strolling by with head phones on.

In reality it could be something like he went out with a woman, they got a little tipsy and decided to go back to her place or to a hotel room. They start messing around, she changes her mind and decides to stop. He won't take no for an answer because he's ready to go or maybe he's got money and used to getting his way, so he just forces himself on her and thinks its no big deal.

That's a rape gentlemen.

I agree with your words.
I just question the delay from October.
What we do not know is if it is the same woman.

Wait for it. A wealthy guy who is good looking is a target. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until the facts arrive.

Re: Reports: Ex-Saint Darren Sharper arrested on rape charges

Mating behaviors of humans v.s. the US penal code makes clarifying what is rape and what isn't rape very difficult. Couple that with the fact that women often want aggressive men who aren't afraid to take risks ; you end up with guys trying to be aggressive the girl saying no, then all of a sudden she gets into it and goes along with it.

Knowing that athletes have a lot of $$$, many women can easily turn that initial resistance into a cry of rape. Now whether that happened in this situation, I dunno, but I'm fairly sure it happens quite a bit; especially with the athletes that sleep around a lot with various women regularly. They make themselves a pretty easy target for this kind of extortion.

The reason that Sharper could have so many accusers is he sleeps around a lot. Hell the women could have even made a pact together.

If he did it he's a scumbag, plain and simple. I just reserve judgment because of who he is, and DS isn't a bad looking guy. I can't imagine he has a difficult time getting laid. A rapist doesn't do it once.. so I would think this would have come out before. That said if he did this what a scum.

The worse part of it all is how the court is specifically slanted against the man.

My thoughts.

If it's the same woman... WTF?

If it's two different women.... They know each other / collusion.

What are the odds two women that do not know each other and are raped 3-4 months apart come out and report on the same week?

There seems to be too much focus on sharper and zero on the accuser(s).

oh bull ****ing ****. rape isn't about sex it is about force, hate and anger. That's why what you just said is a load of bull****. What happens is women regret their decision the next day and somehow claim it to be rape or they're looking for a pay day, just like the whore that ****ed Kobe Bryant.

Rape is terrible, but it doesn't happen nearly as often as our society would like people to believe. Women are ****ing wacked, live with one

So, let's see...." rape isn't about sex it is about force, hate and anger" and then rape " happens is women regret their decision the next day and somehow claim it to be rape..."

So, which one is it spkb25? A crazy brutal f**k who takes out his hostility on women or an innocent guy who just gets involved with a woman? Apparently, it could be ANY woman since they are all wacked.

"Women are ****ing wacked" I think is your answer. I feel sorry for any woman living with you.
