Nate Webster could have taken a plea and gotten four years in jail or he could have rolled the dice, went to trial where he could have gotten a maximum of 20 years in jail.
He decided to roll the dice and while he didn’t exactly crap out, he should have folded and taken the plea.
Former NFL linebacker Nate Webster has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for having sex with a teenage girl.
Webster was found guilty of four counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in April and has been locked up since then. He was accused of having a sexual relationship with a girl when she was 15 and he was in his 30s, and of threatening to kill her and her family if she told anyone. Webster admitted he had sex with the girl but claimed it was consensual and that the sexual relationship began after she turned 16, which is the age of consent in Ohio.
The girl is the daughter of an NFL assistant coach. To preserve the victim’s privacy, neither the girl nor her father are being publicly identified.
Pay attention to what I am about to say.
It is creepy Webster was having sex with a girl who was 15 or 16 if you believe him, but the fact of the matter is he is going to spend 12 years in jail, simply because he didn’t check ID.
If he would have waited or confirmed her age he would be a free man now, he didn’t and he has a lot of time to think about that mistake.
All athletes and men should pay attention.
