    Based on what? I don’t mean to come off combative, but it’s literally a he said she said. I’m not saying she wasn’t assaulted, but is there proof of it, or just proof of rough sex?

    If she was black out drunk and somebody had rough sex with her she was assaulted. I'm pretty sure that's just how the law works.

    She said the Irvin guy had sex with her, so she wasn’t black out drunk then. Couldn’t name Billups as someone in the room, which means she wasn’t black out drunk then

    This fucking clown Highkin going crazy against Billups on Twitter again. Seriously i hope Billups treats him like dog shit when he's a successful Blazers Coach. Dude has nothing to do except to bash Billups.

    Jane Doe is presumably still alive.

    Former DA who didn't press charges against Billups still supports him.

    Also, Jane Doe's client and Jane Doe herself doesn't want to get dragged back into this. Can the fucking justice mob finally leave this alone?

    This will die down when the season starts.

    Rough sex bullshit. That wasn't a bruise or sore muscles.

    Ask any woman you know, including your mother, wife, daughter, if she enjoys having her vagina, rectum and throat ripped up and getting the crap beat out of her. That's not a little fun spanking or play bondage. Ask. Then come back here with the answer.

    I agree there isn't any real evidence Billups was in the room. But a medical report is not he said she said.

    In my younger wild days I sometimes drank more than I should and behaved in embarrassing manner. As did others. But I was never raped any of those times because there was no rapist present. Alcohol impairs judgement but it does not turn non rapist into rapist.

    I don’t think this is dying down.

    But this should all have been over when the former DA said Billups is telling the truth based on the evidence. EVERYONE SHOULD BE GOOD WITH THAT

    This is what I'm saying. Yet all of Blazers twitter and Blazersedge want to drag her into the mud again to make them feel better about Billups. So much for caring about the victim.

    Yeah, I don't see any evidence that Billups was in the room.

    None of anything you said means she wasn't blackout drunk. You can have moments of clarity between blackouts... That's actually not uncommon at all.

    Does the DA saying evidence backs Billups mean anything? Honest question

    Yeah it does sound like rape was very likely, it doesn't sound like there is a shred of evidence that Chauncey was involved, so that is where it's a he said she said. She said Chauncey was there, everyone else said he wasn't... obviously if a rape occurred "everyone else" aren't very reliable. So we'll never know but we do know that Chauncey has been a high character guy for the last 20 years and people deserve the presumption of innocence in the absence of evidence.

    Also, they freaking buried the lede with this byline in the article:
    Accuser’s attorney says she wasn’t contacted about 1997 rape allegations

    whereas it should have been:
    DA: “I believe he is telling the truth because the evidence obtained during the course of a very thorough investigation backed him up … no doubt about it."

    I can't believe these journalists are getting away with this nonsense. It is not about getting to the truth whatsoever.

    Maybe you should read Crandc's post again.

    Something happened to this woman that she did not want to happen.

    I really hate to say this because I really don’t know what happened that night but….when you deal with nba players who are obviously a lot bigger than the average human…injuries to those areas can happen pretty easily. Alcohol increases pain tolerance. I’m just saying…that’s a possible scenario.

    Exactly. Done!!!

    If something else comes to light, I’ll lead the pitchfork parade, but until then you have to have an agenda to go after Billups

    Yes. If you read my post I said there is no clear evidence he was in the room.
