POOR LITTLE RICH RAPISTS

Oh...poor little rich boys. I hope this woman gets her justice. I wish everyone would stop blaming her and questioning her, her condition, her job, her actions, etc. I'm sick of the blame the victim game. The hospital nurse already stated that the victim had visible trauma to the vaginal and anal area, along with bruising on the neck. After hearing that Collin Finnerty was arrested for assault on a gay man while screaming derrogatory homophobic comments at him...another HATE crime.

Police searched the dorm rooms of Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann for two hours after the two were arrested on charges of raping and kidnapping an exotic dancer during an off-campus team party. Each posted $400,000 bond and was released within hours. (Daddy must have shelled out for that!) District Attorney Mike Nifong said Tuesday he also hoped to link a third man to the alleged attack soon, but he said that person had not been "identified with certainty."

"It is important that we not only bring the assailants to justice, but also that we lift the cloud of suspicion from those team members who were not involved in the assault," Nifong said in a statement. The accused lawyers assailed the district attorney for bringing the charges after DNA tests had failed to connect any of the team members to the alleged rape. Defense attorneys have said they have time-stamped photos from the party, bank records, cell phone calls and a taxi driver's statement to support Seligmann's claim of innocence. Defense attorneys have also alleged that the accuser was intoxicated and injured when she showed up for the party.

Robert Ekstrand, who represents dozens of players on the team, said neither Seligmann nor Finnerty was at the party "at the relevant time." The indictment represents "a horrible circumstance and a product of a rush to judgment," he said.

A cousin of the accuser, Jackie stated, "Before she went to the party she was not intoxicated, she was not drinking," Jackie said. "There's a great possibility that when she went to the party, she was given a drink and it was drugged."

"Many lives have been touched by this case," Duke President Richard Brodhead said in a statement. "It has brought pain and suffering to all involved, and it deeply challenges our ability to balance judgment with compassion."

Collin Finnerty was charged in Washington, D.C., with assault after a man told police in November that Finnerty and two friends punched him and called him "gay and other derogatory names." Finnerty agreed to community service.

Both Seligmann and Finnerty are products of wealthy New York City suburbs and all-male Roman Catholic prep schools. Finnerty attended Long Island's Chaminade High School, where 99 percent of the students go on to college. Seligmann went to the exclusive Delbarton School, a lacrosse powerhouse in Morristown, N.J.
