Ugh
Innocent until proven guilty, but I would prefer the our Broncos just steer clear of anything to could possibly construe guilt.
Seriously....
Didn’t anyone tell the rookies that just cuz rothy could almost get away with it, is no reason to follow suit!!!!

Ugh.
This year has been utterly grueling. Remember when other teams passed this guy up because of character issues? I know this wasn’t a foregone conclusion, but this is just getting really annoying now.
Too bad that the one character-reach turned out to be a bad egg.
It’s ironic that McDaniels may have leaned too much on character.
For instance, he drafted Eddie Royal instead of DeSean Jackson. And then of course there’s Tebow, who is pretty much all character.
McD did not draft Eddie Royal
Shanny did.

Sexual assault doesn't necessarilly mean rape.
You can be charged with sexual assault for merely touching someone where they didn’t want to be touched. Or where they actually did want to be touched before they were touched, but then changed their mind after they were touched.
Depends on the jurisdiction.
In general, sexual assault involves any type of penetration. There are other, usually lesser, charges for “merely” touching someone where they didn’t want to be touched.

Saying simply, keep in mind it is not the end-all, be-ll. Isn’t it open to editing by the general public. It provides a great ‘starting point,’ but is by no means a substitute for thorough research. Particularly in an area like legal analysis, where each state has its own laws, in addition to federal laws, international laws, common laws, etc.

It is open, yes
however it is covered by an army of anal editors. Also, Wikipedia is thoroughly sourced, why not 100%, its enough to where schools are running into the problem of students sourcewhoring Wikipedia articles.
And you are completely right in that it would not have the data needed to perform the level of analyst of law you describe. But all it takes is one person that knows to post an article for you to have that information on your fingertips. I guess thats why I defend Wikipedia, its gets stronger the more we embrace it and vice versa.
Makes sense, and thanks for the info.
But Wikipedia’s definition is simply not applicable to this situation, unless there is an entry for “Colorado Sexual Assault Statute Definitions.”

If it’s true (and the fact that he’s been arrested and charged says there’ more to it that Roethlisberger) then he’s human scum and he’d better be off the team as soon as possible.

Richard Marshall says hi.
The Panthers have no intention of resigning him. He’s a solid, young, fast corner. Get him, put him next to Goody, and draft Jimmy Smith and I’ll be happy. Lessen’s our draft day needs. And really, even if we try to keep him at this point, I think Champ walks.

what we do NOT need to do is go heavy with CB at the top of the draft...
what we DO need to do is go heavy with D-Line, safety, and ILB. having a dominant front 7 will make our CB’s that much better. We have Vaughn and Thompson still….and the Bailey question is still open. We also have Nate Jones (throwing up in my mouth as I speak)…so I think drafting 2 MORE CB’s doesn’t make sense. If we need to draft a 2nd CB…it should be at the bottom of the draft.

This is the NFL not a court of law
The accusation is enough to end the career of a non star rookie – which is probably why the DA took a month and a half to file – they did not want to damage the carrer of someone without something very substainual to back it up

i hope you're wrong
and i believe sexual assault can cover a multitude of accusations, but i agree the post article does make it sound bad. if he’s found guilty of anything close to rape though, he obviously won’t and shouldn’t be in the nfl.
I'm not sugarcoating this.
I hope I'm wrong too
But I’m not a judge.
Sexual Assault does employ quite a few meanings, but I doubt he was arrested for “forced kissing.”
From Wikipedia:
Sexual assault may include rape, forced vaginal, anal or oral penetration, forced sexual intercourse, inappropriate touching, forced kissing, child sexual abuse, or the torture of the victim in a sexual manner.6
I could be wrong and it’s “inappropriate touching.” But I really doubt it.

Inappropriate touching
Nearly impossible to prove in court. High name defendant with top counsel – no way DA files a case like this unless withnessed by a dozen people. Time frame is right for processing DNA – that would imply a denial of ‘action’ by Cox and the proof the denial was wrong …. damn I really hope I am reading far too much into things
You're not
But apparently explaining what I’ve already inferred is difficult. You’re doing a nice job of it for me though.

Interesting, +100
It could be that but we can’t read too much into this yet. There’s still a wide range of possibilities and any speculation without more facts can wrong.
I’d say just off the top of my head that sexual assault can cover a wide range of things. Most DA offices treat these cases very seriously and the law does, too, but the severity of the alleged crime is still ambiguous. I don’t favor the complainant nor the defendant but I also don’t assume that the charges filed necessarily reflect the strength of the evidence rather than an attempt by the DA’s office to persuade the defendant to plea bargain. Initial charges are sometime inflated, and it’s a sad commentary on the criminal justice system. Still, I draw no conclusions about this case.

Negative.
In most states, “inappropriate touching” is not sexual assault. It’s classified as something else, either under a blanket “sexual harrassment” or “gross lewdness” charge. Each state determines what act fits under what charge. In my home state of NV, for instance, there is no “Sexual Assault” unless there is any form of penetration of the victim’s body.

C.R.S. 18-3-402.
C.R.S. 18-3-402 prohibits sexual assault.
The following comes from the Boulder County Bar Association Media Guide:
The statute provides that a person commits sexual assault if the person knowingly inflicts sexual intrusion or penetration on a victim if
a) the person causes the victim to submit by means of sufficient consequence reasonably calculated to cause submission against the victim’s will or
b) the person knows that the victim is incapable of appraising what the perpetrator is doing or
c) the person knows that the victim erroneously believes the person is the victim’s spouse or
d) at the time of the commission of the act the victim is less than 15 and the person is at least 4 years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim or
e) at the time of the commission of the act the victim is at least 15 but less than 17 or
f) the person has authority over the victim and uses his position of authority to coerce the victim or
g) the person while purporting to offer some medical service engages in some sort of treatment or examination for some other reason than a bona fide medical purpose.
The statute goes on to provide various levels of punishment. Section e is a class one misdemeanor. Sexual assault is a class three felony if any one or more of the following circumstances exist, a) the person causes submission of the victim by the actual application of physical force or b) the person causes submission of the victim by threat of imminent death or serious bodily injury or c) the person causes submission by threatening retaliation that the victim reasonably believes the person can execute or d) the person has substantially impaired the victim’s power to understand or control the person’s conduct by using drugs or other means or e) the victim is physically helpless and the person knows the victim is physically helpless and has not consented or f) the sexual assault of the person is physically aided or abetted by one or more other persons or g) bodily injury, or by a deadly weapon or a simulate deadly weapon and uses that to cause the submission of the victim.
Sexual intrusion is defined by any intrusion, however slight, by any object or any part of person’s body except the mouth, tongue or penis into the genital or anal opening of another person’s body if that sexual intrusion can reasonably be construed as being for the purpose of simple arousal, gratification, or abuse. Sexual penetration means sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, analingus or anal intercourse. Consent means cooperation in the acts or attitudes pursuant to the exercise of free will and with knowledge of the nature of the act. One is a position of trust includes parents, anyone acting in the place of parents and charged with the parent’s rights and duties, anyone charged with the health, education and welfare of and supervision of a child.

Sexual assault DOES NOT mean rape.
Sexual assault can be many things far less than actually committing rape. These quotes are from the definition of sexual assault at womenshealth.gov.
Sexual assault and abuse is any type of sexual activity that you do not agree to, including: Inappropriate touching …
Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of this are voyeurism (when someone watches private sexual acts), exhibitionism (when someone exposes him/herself in public), incest (sexual contact between family members), and sexual harassment.
Here’s a link: http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/sexual-assault.cfm
This is NOT Colorado law.
The definitions private organizations use have no bearing on what a state’s Criminal Code definition is.

Don't think so
This is a sex crime. Any sign of indifference throws the whole bronco organization into a media malstrom – we have controversy which we cannot escape. No reason at all to invite controversy which we can deal away. Cox is not promising enough to saddle the organization with this additional pressure.
YOU DONT EVEN KNOW IF HE IS GUILTY
This arrest is going to get little if no National Notarity or publicity. Perrish Cox was a 5th round pick. He is not a pro bowler, he is not a candidate for rookie of the year, and he is not even close to the best player on our team or at his very own position.
The Josh McDaniels firing will overshadow this almost completely outside the city of Denver.
From a Public Relations standpoint you either one stay quiet and do no thing. Or two you create a diversion. The best diversion would be to Play Tim Tebow at quarterback.
You can’t always have your Denver Broncos blinders on. Yes its a big deal for Broncos fans, but other than that it will get little publicity. You don’t just go cutting players and people you have invested millions of dollars because they get charged with something.
Yes its a premature freak out.

The Broncos are 3-9
People do not care about teams that are 3-9. Mc Daniels got fired and got half a day of media attention. Then it was on to Winter Meetings, Michael Vick leading the pro bowl, Heisman voting, then back on to Peyton Manning, and rounding back to Cliff Lee.

In the present environment it is not a freak out
The team has been recovering from the firing of Josh McDaniels. Several players have come forward to say things were not a rosey in McD land. We have all the personel decissions as controversy, the blow out by the Raiders, the McKenny suicide ….. Just as the players were starting to feel good about putting all that behind them this happens. Took what ever wind there was right out of the sails. Cut him now he is part of the McDaniels legacy – keep him and the uncertainty of his future weighs the team down.

The only thing that’s varying is exactly how bad it was. It was rape.
The law states he had to penetrate a person with either an object or his genitalia without consent. What do you think?
The only real factor is the consent part. She could have been passed out from drinking too much or she could have been drugged or whatever. The problem is she never said yes and he still did it.
It’s still rape and its still unforgivable.

she had just done a line of blow and ordered Cox to rape her and he took it literally and she forgot.
yes rape is part of the definition but he was arrested for sexual assault. Nothing is unforgivable.
And he hasn’t been convicted yet. I am sure some sort of plea deal will be reached or the girl friend will realize that if she actually tries to charge him that her free money train will come to an end.

Whoa, people!
There’s nothing in what John Bena wrote that says Cox has been charged with rape. He was charged with sexual assault. Maybe he grabbed some womans breasts and she didn’t want him doing that. While even that is unacceptable behavior, it isn’t rape, and maybe you all should hold back on convicting him until you know what he did.
You're using faulty info.
Grabbing a woman’s breast cannot be sexual assault under Colorado law.

Agreed, If the charge was rape, would an alleged rapist, even a Bronco, get this kind of leeway?
From the Denver Post story:
“Douglas County Judge Susanna Meissner-Cutler granted a request that Cox be allowed to accompany the Broncos to out-of-state games while free on bond, and granted an additional request for him to be allowed to attend a family event in January out of state.”

It’s posted, graphically, above.
He got leway because it hasn’t gone to trial yet and is still, technically, innocent. But sexual assault is pretty specific in Denver law and doesn’t include all the “lesser” definitions that would make it something other than rape.
He is being accused of rape. They have enough evidence to arrest him (Rothlisberger was never arrested). Flunkie pointed out that it timely coincides with potential DNA evidence.

No we are not talking about rape, for certain. The sexual assault statute in colorado is very broad and it encompasses a variety of different types of acts. For example, it includes abuse by a person in a position of trust, and what would commonly be referred to as statutory rape. If the entire statutory section was up you could read the sentencing guidelines, which depend on the extent that the specific act was aggravated. For example, you could be facing a misdemeanor 1, which in many instances wouldn’t even include a prison sentence, considering the types of plea bargains generally offered. Alternatively, there is a section that would probably allow sexual assault to be charged as a class 1 felony, which is the most serious felony charge with the longest sentence that a person could be charged with. Plain and simple you don’t have enough evidence to determine whether or not he has been charged with what is commonly understood as rape, and even then there are varying degrees of that specific charge. If you don’t beleive me I’ll give you my bar number.

This is another good point.
It wasn’t just that the police investigated and decided they have enough to arrest. If the DP is accurate, the police investigated, forwarded the findings to the DA, and the DA said, “yup, there’s enough to go arrest him.”
Like you said above, he’s still innocent until proven guilty, but it looks like the police and the DA feel there is enough to establish probable cause.

Plus it will end up being a high profile case in Denver.
So they would have taken extra precautions to ensure they won’t end up with egg on their face.
Lets be clear:
Perrish Cox was not arrested for verbal abuse.
Perrish Cox was not arrested for inappropriate touching.
Perrish Cox was arrested for rape.

DA's are elected in Colorado
No DA in his/her right mind would take on a Starting Bronco’s player unless they were absolutely sure they had a great chance at convincing a jury of his guilt. This means first and foremost they have a credible and willing victim, then there needs to be coroboration, and hopefully some physical evidence. The Police knew immediately the political implications and passed it to the DA’s office – the intake deputy recognized the implications and passed it up to his/her boss. This is not a charge taken lightly.

Is this something you have personal issues with?
Your (over-) reaction seems to be a little out of line with what we know. A charge is NOT a conviction and the nature of the charge merely tells us on what legal basis the DA is proceeding.

I have an association with ProjectGHB
I’ve communicated with Trinka Porrata on a number of occasions about date rape legal issues and the pharmacological properties of Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate as they relate to the issue.
Trinka has been quite willing in the past to communicate with anyone regarding this issue.

Actually a judge decided there was probable cause. A judge has to for an arrest warrant to be issued.
Another good point
After the DA approves it, a judge signs it off….

im not saying that is what happened.
I’m saying people are overreacting and used a farfetched example. To prove my point that we know nothing.

What?
We know he was arrested and what he was arrested for. That’s pretty much all we need to know because that means:
Evidence of rape
Probably Cause of rape
Lack of an alibi
This isn’t an accusation. This is an arrest. It’s different.

Different forum
In the NFL you are not innocent until proven guilty. You are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct – the accusation alone is enough
i think you said it wrong lol

I have practice!
Been wrong so many times it don’t even bother me any more. But it sure don’t stop me from putting forward my opinion.
It's the arrest that is the critical element for the NFL...
…not just a mere accusation. Plus it’s not just Cox on the hook here, the whole org is held responsible. This isn’t he-said, she-said, this is a crime and by the time it goes to trial, the team will want him to be a “former Bronco.”
Go Bruce!
Dude...
I’m an attorney and let me tell you, your presumption that charges filed = someone is guilty is pretty dicey. I hope no one pulls you up for jury service any time soon.
Ever heard of the Duke Lacrosse case?
This obviously doesn’t look good but we no zero facts at this point besides that charges were brought. It’s a little soon for judgment

Dude ....
That one came to mind immediately. Which is exactly why I am saying the DA in Douglas County has proceeded with an abundance of caution in this case. I also remember the Kobe case – where a less than credible witness tied up the resources of the entire department for 9 mos to no avail.
how do you know that?
Mike Nifong said the same thing in Durham. I’m guessing you’ve got that from their PR statements?

Maybe 35 years in Colorado Politics helps
I’ve seen the inside of the decission making process – the whole idea is it is better to do nothing than to do something wrong
I was under the impression that charges being filed was different than arrest
Definitely not an attorney, but Ben had charges filed and wasn’t arrested. This is an arrest.
According to a statement by the Lone Tree Police Department, the department was notified on Oct. 28 that a sexual assault had occurred in the City of Lone Tree.
After a lengthy and detailed investigation, a case was presented to the district attorney’s office. After review by that office, charges were filed and an arrest warrant was issued against Cox, 23. He was arrested without incident, and transported to the Douglas County Jail.
So am I incorrect in thinking that this goes beyond simply charges being filed?

No practical difference in Colorado
An arrest is not punative in Colorado – it is to stop an immediate threat or to insure your appearence in Court. I am rather surprised that he was not allowed to simply turn himself in. I appears that he knew this was being investigated and had an attorney.
Okay not from Denver.
And my assumption was there is difference between being brought in on charges and being arrested and being held on bail.

much too much
speculation on such a serious matter. Cox deserves, as any one of us, to be innocent until proven guilty. Talking about jail time without any facts does a terrible injustice to him. Way too many charges brought against public figures by people seeking money or notoriety. If he is guilty let’s wait till he’s convicted before we put him in the slammer. We are talking about a man’s career here. If he’s guilty lets allow the process to determine that rather than the internet….

cox is arrested for sexual assault.

Seriously, after the year we've all i can do is shake my head and laugh
Incredibly dissappointed in Cox. For a rookie, he had potential to be a good #2 guy down the road.
Dang it Cox, we said intercept Roethlisberger, not imitate him.
And now for something completely different
Innocent until proved guilty ?
While it is true that in our criminal justice system there is a presumption of innocence until guilt is proved beyond a shadow of doubt, there are more than a few people responsible for Perrish Cox’s actions, if sexual assault is proved.
Let’s face the facts: as football (or any other sport of your choice) fans we put athletes who excel on an undeserved pedestal from a young age. More often than not, athletes are given passes through high school, receive college scholarships, awarded college degrees which are never never honestly earned or given on the basis of excellence in so-called college-level courses that are offered for the “intellectual” twelve-year old.
Then we want to sit back and question why the athlete took a wrong direction in life. Contrary to red-necked, misogynistic belief, most sexual assault cases/charges do not arise because some woman is trying to extort money form someone. They occur because a crime of violence, a rape or something similar, has, indeed, occurred.
Most of us who went to college in my day considered it a privilege. I did not come from a wealthy background and took the challenge of high school and college quite seriously because I did not want to get off and on a delivery truck for ten hours a day as my father did. I worked pushing a broom in Northglenn Mall for fifty-three hours a week over the course of four years. That does not make me a hero, but it does make me someone who knew I wasn’t on a pedestal and that I would have to earn what I got and not have it handed to me.
The problem with never working for what you have is that you expect it and decide to take it when it is not freely given.
My first job was with the Denver Broncos, while I was in junior high school (do they still have junior high schools or are they middle schools now?). I will remember the first time I entered into the Bronco’s locker room. Sex was the topic, racism filled the air, cigarette smoke was as thick as soup, and beer was everywhere. The players then made little and, just as today, most never actually never graduated from college and many were functionally illiterate.
It’s obviou, fans have learned nothing since the time Dexter Manley testified before our own government as to the fact that he had attended college and, yet, could not read or write.
Every time a professional athlete strikes a woman, sexually assaults someone, or commits a far worse crime, ask yourself how high of a pedestal you place that athlete and how much you are willing to tolerate for the next winning season.
Let it suffice to say, that the average working class American is not arrested for sexual assault, brandishing a firearm, endangering a child or anything of that nature.
Professional athletes commit the acts they do because they believe they can get away with it. Everything is theirs for the taking.
And, no, I am not saying Perrish Cox is guilty.

Definition of Sexual Assault
Legal Definition of Sexual Assault, Felony Class 3 (the one in Cox’s case):
“Any actor who knowingly inflicts sexual intrusion or sexual penetration on a victim commits sexual assault if: 1(a) The actor causes submission of the victim by means of sufficient consequence reasonably calculated to cause submission against the victim’s will AND 4(a) actor causes submission of the victim through the actual application of physical force.”
Sexual intrusion is defined by any intrusion, however slight, by any object or any part of person’s body except the mouth, tongue or penis into the genital or anal opening of another person’s body if that sexual intrusion can reasonably be construed as being for the purpose of simple arousal, gratification, or abuse. Sexual penetration means sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, analingus or anal intercourse.
This is not about grabbing a woman’s breasts!
Yuck.

Making a point.
People keep saying we’re rushing to judgement.
This is what he’s accused of and they have some sort of evidence to back based on a “lengthy investigation.”

It's sad we need a section devoted to Denver Broncos breaking the law.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
i know. i never noticed that til today.
get up… get my cup of coffee… check the latest on “Denver Broncos In Trouble With The Law”…
I'm not sugarcoating this.
haha. yeah...
But at least before DJ’s little run-in with the law a few weeks ago, there was only 9 articles in the section…one about Richard Quinn from last September, and the other eight all involved a Mr. Marshall. hahaha
Hopefully
this is the end of our troubles. Perrish really hasn’t produced that much on the field either sadly.

And never been convicted of anything, even though Id bet money that he’s guilty it still doesnt mean shet to me until a jury is convinced. I am more upset that it would appear to be another wasted draft pick at this point.
