Maurice Washington Faces Charges

If he didn't think it was an assault, and thought she consented, then he's just (stupidly, wrongly, ignorantly) trying to hurt her by being mean. It's not greatly different to just call her a whore. He just put what he perceived to be an exclamation on it.

Then we're going to have to greatly disagree.

You don't know that's why he sent it. You really can't imagine having your girlfriend or ex girlfriend have a threesome soon after or at the same time you were with her, and still being hurt by it and sending it back to her as a reminder when she tries to talk to you out of the blue 2 years later after you're successful?

And it IS relevant whether he thought it was sexual assault or not. If not, he thought she did it willingly and he sent it directly to her. If he knew it was sexual assault he's a total a$$h@!e. It can easily have been a way to remind her of what she did and tell her to stop talking to him.

All of the above is hypothetical, but you don't know what happened. That's the point.

as has been mentioned before it still hasnt been tried as a sexual assault etc. It also wouldnt make sense to call her a hoe if he thought she was being raped in the video.

What I'm saying is that if he sent that, even if he didn't know about the sexual assault part, it's still a terrible act. The fact he might have been acting out of anger or jealousy or whatever might make it more relatable, but it doesn't make it any less atrocious. And I'm deliberately making the hypothetical because I'm pushing back against the notion that it's no big deal even if he did it, which is separate from whether he sent the text or not.

No but it doesn't mean it should be a life-ruining thing. This is not the same thing as actually committing sexual assault, rape, or domestic violence. This was before Mo had good influencers and he should still have a chance to change as a person. There are MANY college athletes who are s#!tty people/were s#!tty people doesn't mean they should be completely removed of any chance in life for being or having been s#!tty

Getting kicked off the Husker team is not life ruining. As we've seen over and over, he'll many other chances from other schools.

What's the point of kicking him off the team then if this issue happened before he was a member of the team and he is going to end up getting other chances anyway? Suspend him for a few games and move on. This really isn't that HUGE of an issue like rape/sexual assault/domestic violence where it screams "kick him off the team"

Forget the rape or sexual assault or legal aspects for a moment. If Mo sent the text, then he sent a sex video in order to humiliate this girl. Is that not enough for him to be kicked off the team?

Obviously there needs to be a zero tolerance policy in regards to child pornography.  

Right?

This isn't a good argument as it can be applied to literally anything any player did before he was a member of the team.

Kicking him off the team is what I think the punishment should be if he indeed did it. But suspend him for a few games is what kids that skip class or don't make grades get, so it seems light to me.

 
He kept the video for 2 years and sent it to the girl in the video. I get this still can constitute as 'child porn' but that seems out of context IMO, and ppl are throwing that term around. It's not like he's 45 years old video taping 8 year olds or something.

Don't know if it matters in regard to law or not but I think he was 17 when he received the video and she was 15. Don't know if that could still count as child porn or if he could claim he just forgot to delete it off his phone once he turned 18 or what quite honestly.

He was 16. I believe he was 15 when they dated.
