Maurice Washington Faces Charges

Even if this gets the charges pled down to probation, wouldn’t he have to serve that probation in CA?

I know there are circumstances where under the Interstate Compact probatation can be moved from one state to another, but the state that put him on probation (CA) would have to decide if the case qualifies and also approve the transfer.  Obviously NE would have to approve the request. If approved they would also have to allow travel outside of NE during his probation.

Might depend on the state but didn't alex lewis get to serve his time and probation in Nebraska even though he dropped that dude on his head in Colorado.

I think you did a good job answering your own question. :lol:

Yes, probation can be transferred to different states. I don't have personal experience with it but I have a colleague who does. She had a client arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer and drunk and disorderly conduct in NE. Her client was sentenced to probation and had it transferred to Florida (longer story that's not worth diving into). But, to my knowledge, the client also traveled a ton for work and that didn't really impact the terms of probation.

But they aren't. Often alleged victims of sexual assault aren't identified, but alleged perpetrators are.  In instances where the alleged perp is exonerated, their name is still tied to that accusation.  Worse, accusations are usually given far bigger headlines than exonerations. 

This is not the case at all. Police are not advocates. They are neutral fact-finders, and don't "believe" the victim any more than the accused. They identify legal issues they have jurisdiction over and conduct investigations.

I have read through this entire thread. If I missed this point anywhere, I apologize. In the "Revenge Porn" law, it states that the pic or video must be posted without the victim's consent. There are a few questions I have about this one aspect to the law. What would be the legal definition of "posting"? The other is it's be stated that the victims mother intercepted the original message, but the victim then asked him to send it again. Would it still be without consent if the victim asked him to resend it after being told (by the mother) what the video was? It seems odd to claim emotional distress or embarrassment if you wanted it sent again. 

I'm trying to be as empathetic to the victim as I can, I was just genuinely wondering.

What are you taking exception with in regards to Ms. Tracey's post?

Along with what Knapp just posted......Pretty much the entire thing.

The premise behind it is that we should never question someone who claims to be a victim.  Always believe them and condemn who they accuse.

At the same time, she quotes a story of someone who isn't telling the truth when claiming to be a victim.  

Now, I will tend to lean towards believing victims when they come forward.  But, under no circumstance should we just be blankly believing everything someone says when they claim to be a victim.

I mean... that sounds noble, but if you kicked off every athlete from every sport who said or did something to hurt their ex, half of Nebraska sports would be gone. And that's girls and guys sports.

This kind of "solution" is not a real-world idea. Kids do dumb things. You can't default to the nuclear option because someone offended someone else.

In my opinion, this is more than just offending someone.

To be honest, I would be fine with the University of Nebraska Athletics having a policy, clearly defined and explained to all Student Athletes, that if you use sexually explicit images to hurt/shame someone, you lose the right to represent the university.

You sound like a preacher!  There is an athlete code of conduct, so please let UNL address this issue.  Some of these young are not as bad as you think and need guidance.  I'm sure Frost will do what is right for both!
