Castro accused of sexual assault, no charges filed

[jersey cubs fan]

Did he assault her in The Cubs Way?

 

Hendry's people were still in charge, which explains his overly aggressive approach at the date.

In the end, there won't be enough evidence for anything to come out of it and The Cubs will end up giving her a generous cash settlement to go away rather than taking it to court.

 

yeah i'm sure a major league organization is going to give hush money to a possible rape victim. sounds like a solid p.r. move.

Ok, the article said that they left the bar at 3am -- not many River North places are open past 2...

 

Can we narrow this down?

Hush money would suggest that it would have been given to her before the reports had actually come out. cash settlements are to avoid dragging a case to court when there's a good chance that there won't be a resolution. It's all a part of this wonderful land we call corporate america, and sports franchises don't react much differently when their best and brightest get themselves into trouble.

We know she is a waitress, probably, so maybe he had to wait for her to close the bar or something.

He's Castro! The bar closes when he says it does.

At least we now know his eye isn't lazy -- just wandering.

The only part of him that isn't lazy @thekapman

It was a error in judgment.

so the cubs are just going to give her money to make the problem go away. wouldn't that seem to set a poor precedent? hey do whatever you want off the field, we'll pay off your victims.

Welp, barring a full retraction by the accuser or a complete discrediting, I'll never be able to be a real fan of our best player.

 

This may blow over legally, but it's still pretty fucked up.

As if the rape wasn't bad enough.

This may blow over legally, but it's still pretty [expletive] up.

 

It's only fucked up if he did something wrong.

[rawaction]

Well, this really blows.

One of three scenarios will come to pass:

 

1. Castro is proven guilty

 

2. Castro is legally absolved because of lack of evidence or charges dropped and you have a Kobe/Ben situation where you live with the suspicion/stigma forever, right or wrong

 

3. The accuser retracts her accusation or is thoroughly discredited and Castro is vindicated

 

I think scenario two is by far the most likely and while better than the first, it's not entirely palatable.

3. The accuser retracts her accusation or is thoroughly discredited and Castro is vindicated

 

I think scenario two is by far the most likely and while better than the first, it's not entirely palatable.

 

I think you could easily find a scenario in between 2 and 3.

[Post Count Padder]

Oh for eff's sake. I'll hold judgement til the facts come out but this blows.

[TruffleShuffle]

Well, this really blows.

 

i'm not sure that blowing was part of the accusation.

Yeah, you're probably right. But barring the third scenario, it'll be pretty hard not to regard Starlin with some degree of disdain, at least for me.

 

That's why accusations like this really, really suck (even if they're false).

If he was my brother-in-law or something I'd always look at him sideways, but as a baseball player I'll never meet, if it does fall into that category I don't think I'll have much problem hoping he does well on the baseball field.
