The authorities are investigating this alleged beat down of Drae Bowles.
If the facts are indeed true, Drae Bowles was attacked for doing the right thing. This lawsuit is saying that allegedly, Bowles was assaulted by other members of the Tennessee football team for helping the woman who accused linebacker A.J. Johnson and defensive back Michael Williams of rape in November 2014. The sad part is that there’s no documentation or police report to show that these attacks happened.
The “factual allegations” section of the lawsuit claims that Bowles had taken the alleged victim, a plaintiff in the lawsuit referred to as Jane Doe IV, to the hospital the night of her assault and supported her decision to report the incident to the authorities. It claims that the fifth plaintiff in the case, who is referred to as Jane Doe V and the only plaintiff who was not an alleged rape victim, witnessed several football players “jumping” Bowles on Nov. 17, 2014, the day after the alleged rape occurred.
Bowles eventually transferred out of Tennessee but has been subpoena for his testimony. We will keep our eye on this story as it slowly emerging.
