The story is sensitive and includes serious allegations. We ask that comments be sensitive to all involved, including the alleged victim and her account of the evening and the alleged suspects. We also ask that our readers not speculate about the alleged suspects' identities.
Based on the Seattle reporting, it seems like none of this was a big secret, so I hope somebody at Cal made a real effort to look at the information available to them in evaluating this. Just a horrible situation all around, and even if the circumstances fall short of criminal charges, there is no interpretation of anything that could have happened in that car that speaks highly with respect to the decision-making that occurred by those young men.
With that said, the idea that anybody’s identity here is being protected by the paper not using their names is a joke.
Just a reminder to all in the conversation about the sensitive topic. Please read over your comments before publishing. we will be monitoring the comments for any violations of our community guidelines.
Obviously it should be looked into. I have mixed feelings, though. On the one hand, our culture as a program can’t make this thing acceptable. On the other hand, there may be good reasons why he wasn’t charged. I think universities often bungle the prospect of serving as their own criminal justice system, particularly in cases like this.
If no other shoe drops I guess I have to trust Wilcox to make the right call one way or the other.
What am I missing here? Peeps keep saying this should be looked into and investigated. According to the article that has already happened. The "authorities" have already "handled" it. It has already been "looked into". There is no ongoing case and there will be no prosecution.
In terms of respective Universities honoring their offer to their recruits it would appear that that will be done individually by each University. I have no idea why Furd pulled their scholly for Hector, does anyone here know the reason?
Cal will presumably analyze or has analyzed their offer to their recruit from Eastside. Perhaps that process has been completed or is in progress. That said, I would think Cal would have known about this incident some time ago.
A very sad situation first and foremost for the young girl. I hope she has received all the assistance that is required from this traumatic experience.
Outside of the situation, what a slime ball the reporter is.
Says they’ll protect the identities of the people involved bc they were minors. Literally three paragraphs later “one of the players is committed to the university of Washington and another to California”

Sad news all around and I hope the authorities handle it with the seriousness it deserves.
Ouch. All the way around, ouch..... So sorry to hear of it for all involved. In Wilcox I trust re: how to handle the recruit angle.......
My first thought when reading the story was that of Brenda Tracy.

If you read the story, there's a passing Cal connection, although not with anything directly involving our football program...
