    Exclamation Steubenville Rape Case -- Judge Allows Rape Convict to Play Football

    You may recall the Steubenville Rape Case in which several members of a football team raped a drunk / unconscious girl. They've all done their juvenile time and are now out and about. One has walked on the YSU football team. After a female student complained, the team suspended him for a year -- but permitted him to practice etc. U.S. District Judge Benita Pearson Thursday granted Ma’lik Richmond, of Steubenville, a temporary restraining order against Youngstown State University, allowing him to play football for the next 14 days. She has scheduled a preliminary hearing for an injunction Sept. 28. Richmond filed a federal lawsuit against the university Wednesday after the school allowed him to join the football team as a walk-on and then told him he couldn’t play this season. He’s seeking reinstatement to the team’s active roster along with attorney fees and an unspecified amount of damages. Youngstown State attorneys spoke in court Thursday but declined further comment. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office submitted a scathing reply on behalf of the university, arguing why Richmond’s petition for relief shouldn’t be granted. The reply says “proving no deed goes unpunished,”the school has been “hauled into court by a student that YSU has bent over backward to assist, support and provide a second chance when no one else would.”

    Remember, he's done his time. Personally, I think that they did their time, he walked on the team, so how can you impose additional infractions for things that took place unrelated to college, years ago.
