I was just reading an ESPN article about the UF Freshman QB and how the victim may have been the aggressor. Based on what the lawyers are saying, the kid has been completely cooperative with the police (wish Jameis had done this) including letting them take items from his room and providing samples for them. Really puts UF in a bad spot. They want to protect women but it the woman is at fault and crying wolf here, they just suspended an innocent kid who will never get his reputation back. On top of that, without him at QB, they'll lose again
I know we have to protect women. I have a young daughter and three sisters but C'mon. This young lady seems to have ruined this young mans life. Now she's not going to press charges...I wonder if they will kick her out of school?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The sexual battery complaint against Florida quarterback Treon Harrishas been withdrawn by his accuser, the university said Friday.
[+] Enlarge Mark LoMoglio/Icon SportswireAttorneys say the woman claiming she was sexually assaulted has withdrawn her complaint against Florida quarterback Treon Harris.


"This means she is not pursuing criminal charges against him at this time but maintains the right to do so in the future," school spokeswoman Janine Sikes said in a statement.
Florida will have more information on Harris' football status later in the day, Sikes said.
Harris, 19, was suspended by Florida and the University Athletic Association on Monday when university police began an investigation into an accusation that Harris sexually assaulted a female student at an on-campus residence hall early Sunday morning.
Multiple sources close to the football program told ESPN.com that the accuser is also an athlete at the university.
Harris' attorneys said Thursday that the accuser was "the sexual aggressor with not one, but two, young men last Sunday morning" and that the woman showed "no indication of any physical or mental trauma" after the alleged incident.
Under Florida law, the woman could be charged with a misdemeanor if police believe she filed a false police report.
Huntley Johnson, who represents Harris, told ESPN earlier that his client intends to stay at Florida.
Harris, a true freshman, came off the bench and rallied the Gators to a 10-9 victory at Tennessee on Oct. 4. He has been placed on an "interim suspension," which bans him from campus and all team activities. He is allowed to take online courses.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

^^^^at least Georgia get their star WR's back finally at more full strength this year............time to use both Malcolm Mitchell and Scott-Wesley..........We'll see what the QB can do as his role increases now with those wide receivers and Gurley suspended.........

You do recall who's throwing to those WR's, right? Mason MIGHT be able to hit the broad side of a barn....on a good day.

Bullshit signing and getting paid. Stupid on his behalf, but give me a break. Not like he was retiring off a few sigs. He is a good kid also. Don't think CMR should have jumped the gun. This investigation would have taken a while, similar to Johnny Football and Cam.

He is a great kid, I posted a story on him a while back. I tell ya what, I'd tell them to kiss my ass, I'll see ya at the combine. Seriously. He grew up in a damn trailer home for God's sake, his mom works her ass off, give me a damn...sorry men, this shit bothers me. The guy just wants to help his mom out.

Is it me, or does it sound like setting up the guy to get suspended. So if I understand you correctly. The guy from Rome, GA is a jock sniffer who enticed Gurley to sign items, only to turn him end so that he gets suspended. I am simplifying that too much. Sounds like the Southwest Conference days to me.

I agree....it smells. The issue to me is these kids are sitting ducks. Why no legal action to those that are willing to pay these kids. It's hypocrisy at the finest.

I was wrong.....thank God Georgia has a blackmail law. These two cowards that supposedly paid TGII are lawyer upping right now. Dumb MFers thought this was going to be their golden ticket. This on top of probably having to move out of the state to protect themselves from some crazy nut job fan.
