Before I went off to college the one thing that everyone told me not to do was get sloppy drunk, because you never know who would try to take advantage of you while you’re in that condition. So when I hear stories like this one I’m glad I paid attention to that advice.
According to dailymail.co.uk, the girlfriend of a top NFL star claimed she was raped in a London hotel room after she was plied with champagne and passed out.
The 21-year-old did not even know the attack had happened until she found out she was pregnant with attacker Andrae Edward’s baby, it is alleged.
Police found bank worker Andrae, 22, had taken pictures of her naked as she slept, the court was told – the student went on to have an abortion.
The girl, whose boyfriend plays for an NFL team, said she woke up naked in her hotel room after a drunken night at a nightclub with Edwards and her three friends.
She said she could not remember what had happened and texted Andrae Edwards, to check nothing sexual had gone on between them as she felt sore and could smell his cologne on her.
He told her it hadn’t but a month and a half later she realized she was pregnant and DNA testing revealed it was Edwards’ baby.
Blackfriars Crown Court heard that when arrested, he was discovered to have taken pictures and video images of her lying passed out on the bed naked, showing she is asleep and not capable of consenting to sex that night.
Royal Bank of Scotland customer adviser Edwards is facing one charge of rape.
Of course Edwards is denying that he raped the young lady and claims that it was consensual sex.
You can read the whole (long) story by clicking on the link above, but I’ll summarize it. Basically the two met three days before the incident and exchanged numbers. She and her friends and he and his crew met at the club and dudes were poppin bottles. The group went back to the hotel. Edwards’s friends took her friends to separate rooms and left them along. After that its he said/she said of what happen and then the “I’m pregnant” text, then the abortion.
Don’t know who to believe here because its always two sides of the story and the truth. But if those pictures show that the girl was complete incoherent then Mr. Edwards is in a lot of trouble.
I do find it interesting that she would give her number to another man and pop bottles with him while in a “relationship” with another. But that’s neither here or there. I just hope the young lady never put herself in that situation again.
