I watched this last night, and I can’t help but feel bad for this girl. The punishments that the 3 athletes received – after being found guilty by the school, btw – were unbelievable… one was expelled (only to go play ball for Idaho the following year), one was suspended for a year, and the other for a semester – and both of them were allowed to return to the basketball team.
The one woman on the show (I forget who she was exactly), said that schools are perfectly capable of handling situations such as this, leaving the police out of it. Absolutely ridiculous. They’re just trying to cover their asses, and hide the fact that any kind of sexual assault ever occurs at their school.
