Colin Kaepernick
San Francisco 49ers football player Colin Kaepernick
is under criminal investigation for allegedly sexually assaulting a
woman in Miami at a residence at the Viceroy Hotel. The unnamed
woman was in an apartment alone with Kaepernick and two other
football players. She stated she mixed alcoholic drinks for the
three men and they encouraged her to use a bong which contained
marijuana or they wouldn't give her any alcoholic shots.
The woman alleges she felt lightheaded after smoking
the marijuana and went to Kaepernick's bedroom to lay down on the
bed. She states Kaepernick, a man who she's had a sexual
relationship with, "Came up behind her into the bedroom and started
kissing her." She is now alleging sexual assault, stating she woke
up in a hospital bed and has no knowledge of how she arrived there.
There is so much wrong with this story. First of
all, why was she comfortable being alone, in an apartment, at night
with not one, but three male athletes, if she didn't know them well.
It doesn't sound like anyone forced her there. She was even playing
bartender. Secondly, why was she mixing the three males alcoholic
drinks if she was uncomfortable with the situation. It sounds like
she was partying. Thirdly, why is she stating Kaepernick sexually
assaulted her when she's had a sexual relationship with him for
months. A woman can be raped by an ex-boyfriend, but the information
she provided to the police reads as though she and Kaepernick have a
sexual relationship.
A jury is not going to believe she voluntarily
entered an apartment with three pro-athletes she knows, one she's
been having sex with for months, made them alcoholic drinks and
smoked weed with them, then her boyfriend (or customer), raped her.
I'm not buying it. Sounds like someone trying to get a quick payday
or revenge. Suspect stories like these make it so difficult for real
rape victims to be believed. Some rape stories I believe, such as
allegations made against former football player Darren Sharper (Former NFL Football Player Darren Sharper Facing 30-Years In Prison
For Drugging And Raping People). However, the story
regarding Kaepernick doesn't sound right. Pieces of the story are
missing.
