I wouldn't go as far as saying sexually deviant - especially since he has
yet to be convicted of anything in any case... I hate to say this - and I'm
sure that I'm going to get destroyed by folks for going here - but women can
be the most plotting, devious, and vengeful creatures on the planet - hence
the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". And us men - well, we
don't always think with the right head - and women know that, too.
Rape / sexual assault is a terrible act that to me, should be punishable by castration. Having said that, false allegations of rape is just as terrible of an act. And what's worse is there is no punishment for it. Rape also happens to be one of the few crimes where the defendant is seen as guilty from the moment the allegation is made. Moreover, it's also one of the few crimes that require the defendant to prove his innocence rather than the accuser having to prove his guilt.
The problem with both sets of allegations is this - there wasn't anyone around to witness in either case. It's not the most uncommon thing for consensual sexual contact to later be declared sexual assault by the female participant for any number of reasons - he promised to call and didn't, he didn't take her home, her boyfriend found out, etc. Did it happen in this case? Nobody knows at this point, but it's a salient argument. Add to that that Ben has a $100 million dollar target on his chest and you have to think about things a little differently. I'm pretty sure my argument here wouldn't make sense with a normal joe, but when you start talking about the potential gain a nefarious woman could garner from plotting this and it makes more
sense than not.
If neither allegation proves to be true, the damage is already done to him. People will just liken it to "where there's smoke there's fire" and assume that he had to do something. His image won't ever be restored. However, if he's found guilty then he should be strung up like anyone else, banned from the NFL, and forced to pay reparations...
