Mike Hughes telling teams about sexual assault accusation at North Carolina

[bleedsgreenandgold]

Probably because the university was sued and must release names of people involved in incidents:

I always wondered why Hughes never suited up for UNC, many assumed it was due to grades because he went the juco route and usually there is at least one team that will take a chance on a kid even with a questionable background (as long as criminal charges were not filed).

Sooooo wait a sec. Is this the same guy that we are rumored to be sworn on picking at 24?

In the past this wouldn’t matter. People make false allegations to famous people all the time. The problem is that the culture has changed dramatically, really just in the last year. The #metoo movement and Harvey Weinstein incident is the reason for this change. The only problem I have with this situation and the major problem I find with these allegations is when someone falsely accuses someone they are still ruined and thought of a sexual predator. It’s also very hard to try to prove someone didn’t do something. So if they are innocent it's usually harder to prove than finding someone guilty.

 

someyhing else to think about is people who are known to sexually assault people don’t just assault someone once. It’s a bad character  flaw that someone will continue to do.

 

 In short  if Hughes was able to make it through college around lots of women without another allegation happening then it shouldn’t be a problem. If more allegations occurred then he shouldn’t be drafted. 

If people are accusing you, they are not necessarily "falsely" accusing you.  An accusation is what it is.  The accusation hurts confidence in the player, increasing the risk.  To assume the accusation is false and to find excuses to overlook the potential wrongdoing is EXACTLY what the players are used to.  Think of these athletes--they are treated like gods from the time they are 8.  They do something wrong, the coach "handles it."  So if there is only 1 accusation, then maybe there is only 1 that got through the double standard. 

I had teammates who got away with murder and the media and fans treated them like choir boys--it sorta made you sick .  Finally, someone complains and is not silenced or intimidated and people like you say, "This only happened once."  Bullshit.

People mature--but if you assume, without any inside info, that the accusation is false because there was only one episode, you have never been on a college team.  Assume that there are more than 1--you would be right 90% of the time.
