jesus christ.

i bet this is an example of two people hooking up at a party, BOTH getting drunk, fucking, and then the girl wakes up the next morning, regrets it, and screams rape.

10/19/2005 11:55:23 AM

You sure are quick to judge without knowing a damn thing about what happened, don't you think?

10/19/2005 11:56:25 AM

clearly we should always assume thats what happened

10/19/2005 11:56:53 AM

i thought we were to assume he's innocent until proven guilty

just what i heard somewhere though

10/19/2005 12:07:14 PM

she was asking for it

10/19/2005 12:16:16 PM

aight
find his screen name

10/19/2005 12:18:38 PM

Never said that we should assume that's what happened.

It's also just as wrong to blame the accuser unjustly.

i think we all know what happened here.

10/19/2005 12:29:03 PM

if she was intoxicated, its always rape.


if your drunk you cant give consent.


what if the guys drunk? apparently it doesnt matter! yay for equal rights!

10/19/2005 12:37:55 PM

no if the guys drunk then they look at the timeline to see who is the most drunk and who was drunk first

[Edited on October 19, 2005 at 12:39 PM. Reason : ps before what i said was sarcasm]

10/19/2005 12:38:10 PM

he needs to claim he was raped

10/19/2005 12:43:11 PM

he cant. in nc, law only allows for males to be sexually assaulted.

10/19/2005 12:43:54 PM

Depending on her level of intoxication she can give consent..just b/c there is alcohol in the blood doesn't mean she is drunk.

Possible he did harass her into having sex, or "sexed" while she was unaware....but there is the possibility that she did give aware consent, but under the influence wasn't aware of who he was..then later regreted it and yell raped.

If he used a condom..she should leave it alone..this is college..she's probably had sex before..just didn't want to admit that she did with him, so before he went out braggin, she cut him down.

10/19/2005 12:53:36 PM

He's on facebook...Bryan Davis

10/19/2005 12:54:30 PM

was she asking for it

10/19/2005 12:55:52 PM

oh man some of those comments are great now that we find this out

haaha so who is going to be the first TWWer to post something inappropriate on his facebook?

10/19/2005 12:57:49 PM

How do they know 100% that she was intoxicated when the alleged rape took place? Did they take a breathalizer of her right before or after she was raped? if there were witnesses how do they know she wasnt just acting retarded and silly?

10/19/2005 12:57:57 PM

First off, I'll say that rape is a horrible thing. Wow, surprise, I know.

Secondly, I think it is too easy for woment of accuse someone of rape when even if the charge is found false, a lot of things would change for the guy. Especially if it goes to trial and the man is found innocent, he might as well be found guilty without a prison sentence because who wants to trust an accused rapist? Nobody cares at that point that you were found innocent, it's that you were accused.

I feel bad for rape victims, I feel worse for wrongly accused men.


also, notice how only the accused rapist's name apears in the article, not the alleged victim's.

innocent until proven guilty doesnt mean blame the woman.

this is probably one of the main reasons women dont come forward when something like this happens.

you should be fucking ashamed.

Arraigned Offenses for Case Number: 2005106115 CR
Arraigned Defendant Name: DAVIS,CHARLES,BRYAN

Felony SECOND DEGREE SEXUAL OFFENSE 14-27.5(A)
Felony SECOND DEGREE RAPE 14-27.3(A)

they charged him with 2 offenses

10/19/2005 1:06:29 PM

First offense is just to signify that the person was helpless...

Quote :

"14-27.5. Second-degree sexual offense. (a)A person is guilty of a sexual offense in the second degree if the person engages in a sexual act with another person: (1) By force and against the will of the other person; or (2) Who is mentally disabled, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless, and the person performing the act knows or should reasonably know that the other person is mentally disabled, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless."

10/19/2005 1:11:38 PM

lol, what did u do, open your file cabinet to the D's? hehe

They must have some pretty damn good evidence to charge him with both, which if it goes to trial will basically be his word vs. hers, and who do u think they will beleive? a 20 something college male or a 20 something college female who is sobbing on the stand?

10/19/2005 1:12:01 PM

Quote :

"First offense is just to signify that the person was helpless..."

then that should be the charge, unless there were 2 victims

they do shit like this to scare people into plea bargains

thats 2 class C felonies, 5-6 years in prison each for someone with no record. wow

10/19/2005 1:19:36 PM

they also have rape kits...which i'm sure she had done after she called the police, if not before, at a hospital. so that would also be evidence.

that just proves that she had sex

she could consent and then the next morning be like, awww shit

and scream rape

so if she was raped, she should just pretend it didnt happen or that it was consensual just because he used a condom??????????

WTF KINDA LOGIC IS THAT?

did your mother drop you on your head repeatedly as a child?????????

10/19/2005 1:29:23 PM

i just shake my head

10/19/2005 1:30:40 PM

^^^^Rape isn't just a "bad experience" and it probably has the potential to ruin someone's life as well. The difference is that rape harms the victim, while jail time harms the person who actually did something wrong.

does it bother anyone else even remotely that this guy is charged with the same crime twice?

bad experience =/= rape

bad experience is when the sex lasts a minute or hes 4inches (hard) or you dont come, it is NOT when you are RAPED

10/19/2005 1:34:33 PM

oh snap

now rjrgrl is an expert on this, too.

sorry the fear of rape isnt something that guys live with every day
girls get warned about that shit from middle school (or earlier) on, its something we are told to constantly be afraid of

10/19/2005 1:37:40 PM

a guy who fucks the girl whos so drunk she cant stand up

and a guy who kicks in a door in and puts a gun in a womans face and makes her take her clothes off

will never be the same in my book

only one of those is a "rapist"

10/19/2005 1:37:59 PM

all jokes aside, I find it amusing how all the women jump on the "all men are horrible scum" bandwagon, while all men jump on the "all women have to do is scream rape and the man is screwed" bandwagon.

10/19/2005 1:38:02 PM

1 in 7 guys will be sexually assaulted

[Edited on October 19, 2005 at 1:38 PM. Reason : just a little lower than women]

10/19/2005 1:38:19 PM

^^^^gimme a fucking break, do you live in fear of being "raped" every time you go to a party? ive seen you drinking at parties and you didnt seem too worried

[Edited on October 19, 2005 at 1:39 PM. Reason : h]

10/19/2005 1:38:51 PM

i actually agree with Jackleg for once.... Women should not put themselves in these situations if they are constantly in fear.

Its so that they are not harrassed by assholes like the people posting on this board. Sexual assault victims always have their names withheld by the press to protect their privacy. It takes a LOT of courage to come forward and say this happened to them.

Unless you were in the room with those two then you do not know what happened so how do you know that they were willing or not?

It is not fair that women are required to make sure that they do not dress to intice, make sure that they do not drink and avoid situations that may put them in danger because of men when in reality MEN should think before they act. If the guy was sober and the woman was not then he should have driven her home.

Yes it is wrong to accuse if nothing happened and ruin someone's life but otherwise let the court decide. We do not know what evidence they have against this guy or anything else so why don't you all just leave it the hell alone.
