Yeah, OP kind of buried the lead. Apparently he isn't facing criminal charges for the alleged assault which he claims was consensual but is getting suspended for 7 games for having pre-marital sex.......I get the whole religious school angle but wow that seems way over the top. Gotta think that honor code makes it much tougher to get non Mormons to transfer in.
Given it’s only come up a few times in decades, I’d envision they do an awful lot of looking the other way
I would assume it is made very clear to players to keep their extra curricular activities private
Correct. I took the headline off the net but messed up the paraphrasing.
I'm (obviously) not a lawyer, and I probably failed social studies class.
yes, you are obviously not a lawyer....google it.
Legal Gopher here to help. The "victim" (only in quotations for the sake of a label, I am not doubting the claims made here) can file in civil court, criminal court, or both. If the V had wanted to file for criminal charges in additional charges as well, but Utah's statute of limitations for the charge can limit when V wants to charge it. If V wants criminal charges for r*pe, then it could be charged whenever but in Utah for SA, it needs to be reported within 4 years and charged within 8. If the civil lawsuit goes through and she is successful, then V can also ask for charging documents to be filed for criminal charges. If V was worried that criminal charges may be unsuccessful (idk what Utah law looks like for civil charges for this happening or what their SA charge looks like), V may have wanted to wait to see if civil charge was a win before charging criminally
You are obviously a dick.
