College player writes Open Letter about false rape allegation destroying his life

[Dr. Narcisse]

He's got receipts and everything

Abigail Ross accused me, Patrick Swilling

Jr., of sexual assault in February 2014; while I have been cleared of those

allegations by the Tulsa Police Department and The University of Tulsa,

Abigail Ross, attorney John Clune and ESPN's Paula Lavigne have

continued to pursue me. They have continued their slander, released

misinterpreted and misleading information and statements that have proven

to be false. Since the allegations began, their party has only released

information in their favor to shape the public’s view on the case; I also have

information to share:

While I do not condone Sexual Assault in any manner, after going

through this experience I believe assumptions and public perception are

made well before any factual information has been determined. It takes 3

words, “He raped me" to start an onward cycle of hate, discrimination and

public disowning with almost always half of the story being told. It’s

become easy for a woman to use to sexual assault for a substitute when

friends, family and most of the time their significant other frowns upon the

truth of what she did. If allegations of Rape can put me in prison, why can’t

proven false allegations of Rape put an accuser in prison for the same

amount of time? The allegation is just the beginning, what comes after is

what’s felt the most.

Athletes are always targeted on both the college and pro level because

of our popularity and how much we have to lose; we are not treated as

regular students or citizens when it comes to these types of allegations. The

news releases are usually tainted to make us look a certain way, more than

likely in a bad perspective. The accusers names are never mentioned because

it is detrimental to their well being, however it's ok for my name to be

tarnished and for me to receive death threats, hate mail and suspensions

while what’s being reported is false? The accuser sexual history is never
spoken of but anything found or heard in my sexual history is printed? Yes, I

am an athlete. Yes, I am the son of a former NFL player and I am also a

regular young man continuing to mature and find my way in life. I have

feelings, I have a social life, I have dreams, I have goals, and yes I've made

mistakes, but no I have never sexually assaulted anyone. I have never been

arrested, Police has only questioned me on one occasion during my life and

that was voluntarily, I have never been charged with a crime and yet I have

lost more in 6 months than I have in 22 years, my respect.

espn employee still throwing salt on dude...

He should literally look into a lawsuit against espn.... dude can't make a living based off this slander

What pisses me off in these situations are the people that just ignore it and throw out the numbers about how X% of rapes go unreported, and how brave it is for a woman to come forward accusing someone of rape, and just basically ignore the huge negative affect that a rape accusation could have on a person's life. Sometimes women are crazy. Just like there are horrible men there are horrible women out there who would be willing to drag a man's name through the dirt out of spite or revenge or to try and come up.

That's also the same reason I hate the NFL's conduct policy simple cause it puts even more of a bulleye's on the players now since even a simple allegation can lead to them being punished.

You do know that there would NEVER be another rape case right

 

[Buckeye Fever]

That stupid ass NFL domestic violence campaign don't even help. These commercials basically give the benefit of the doubt to the female, even if she's lyin'. Bein accused of rape is no joke. That's all I'ma say on that.

 

[nineteeneightysix]

I don't joke with or get too friendly with women for this very reason...

If a friend of mine asks me to baby sit their young children, I FLATLY say NO....

I know I am extreme with my fear of ever being accused of any crime, but I depend on my license to make a living, and even an accusation of that nature would RUIN my life, so I don't take any chances...

SOMETHING has to be done to punish people who make false accusations

I also think the shield law should apply to the accused. I mean look at it, they're still giving Erica Kinsman that protection even tho her story would never stand in a court of law.

I feel bad for this guy and what he said is true about insinuation, someone can so non chalantly make a statement and in their ignorance not realize that they just set something off. Do they care? Of course not. Words are powerful

I thought I was the only drastic person like that. I do not feel comfortable around little girls because they learn that power of lying real early in life. No confusion or my name coming up any foolishness. I am sure I missed out on chicks on my refusal to be more aggressive for the sack. The rape stuff is serious.

Did yall see her picks

DF you going after that in the first place
