Attorney Defends Charged Players
Reported by Mark Bruce
Jerry Summers was very adamant when he responded to the charges against the 6 U-T-C students. He repeated what he's said all along, the sex was consensual.
"There are people who like to have sex with football players," he said.
He said the alleged victim had a prior history with some of the players.
"One of the young men she had been with before and she had no objections to a couple of others and she initiated contact with the other and we think that is consensual," said Summers.
He says the public is making decisions before the facts are presented.
"They are presumed to be innocent," he said. "From what we've all heard, it's a forgone conclusion."
Instead, he says the facts are straightforward.
"One, it was consensual. Secondly, she didn't report it until 2 and half days later and third, she went to a football game and cheered for players who had supposedly raped her. She cheered for the Mocs and we can prove that!"
I certainly hope she has a good attorney.
