As a sexual assault and rape crisis counselor, and a woman, this just makes me so angry that it just never freaking stops. So tired and sick of it.
And some of the comments I read after the article were even worse. So many were asking, why would he need to rape when he is so good looking, has money and have access to lots of beautiful women?
Rape is about the need for power and control. It's about the need to humiliate and coerce. It's about the need to dominate. It is not about sexual gratification. I wish people would get this.Last edited by broncoslover115; 02-14-2014, 12:32 PM.Adopted Bronco: DeMarcus Ware

Sadly, it's still such a huge taboo to talk about in society. It's about raising awareness.Originally posted by broncoslover115 View Post*2011 BCMB Locker Room Division I League Champion**Voted; 2013 & 2015 BCMBA's Scariest Mod**Voted; 2014 BCMBA's Best Avi and Most Friendly*

Believe me, I understand this. We in the field are out there everyday trying to educate and raise awareness on this.Originally posted by ebsoria View Post
We have a huge job to do to break down all the myths out there that surround rape. The biggest one being the one I raised and the other being where the raped becomes the one responsible for their victimization instead of holding the perpetrator responsible. I'm sure you see a lot of victim blaming whenever a high profile rape case comes forward.Adopted Bronco: DeMarcus WareComment

- Darren Sharper Accusations: 11 Druggings, 7 Alleged Rapes -
"...Sharper, 38, is accused of using Zolpidem (Ambien) and morphine to drug women and rape them. He was arrested on Jan. 17, and has been free on $200,000 bail since then. Sharper denies the charges, and claims to have had consensual sex with one of the women, and to be unaware of who another one is. The claims against him stem from five separately collected police reports, across four states, beginning in September of 2013, all of which describe similar events involving Sharper, women, and druggings.
Sharper has only been charged with a crime in Los Angeles, but faces accusations and open investigations in three other states. The document, a motion to increase Sharper's bail to $10 million (embedded below), offers a grim recounting of events, as recounted by the investigating officer. According to the document, these are the accusations that Sharper faces:" ...

Not so much. That's the thing about rapists, they can be anyone. That's what's so scary. They usually aren't the creepy guy hiding in the bushes.Originally posted by captainbronco View Post
It's been somewhat odd to me that this story has been basically mum on NFL Network or ESPN.Adopted Bronco: DeMarcus WareComment

Unfortunately you're right I can understand why NFLN has been quiet about it the less they talk about it the less it looks like "hey we had a possible rapist employed at our network!"Originally posted by broncoslover115 View Post
I wonder why espn is quiet thoughComment

Hard to swallow for NFL Network. ESPN has no reason. They reported it once for about a minute and that was it.Originally posted by captainbronco View Post
If they convict on all these charges, plus the ones from the other states, he's looking at over 30 years they said in one paper. Me, I hope he gets life.Adopted Bronco: DeMarcus WareComment

I can't wait to hear the defense on this case. I wonder how hard he tries to fight it. I wonder if he is delusional enough to try and say those were multiple 'misunderstandings'.Originally posted by Emily Diana View PostComment
