Daily Collegian Article On Starrocci Allegations

[82bordeaux]

Assume for the sake of argument that there are in fact, one or more real SA victims-who for whatever reason have chosen NOT to make police reports or first party public allegations.

To be honest, there are multiple examples right here in our little corner of the internet why a victim would choose not to come forward to police or make public statements. That's asking a lot of an 18 or 19 year old that would have a hard time telling her parents about those kinds of events.

Anyone convinced anyone to change their mind on this?

Is that what they call a “rhetorical answer”?

 

[Throwfor5]

This is supreme histrionic bovine excrement. Actually, the only people revealing themselves here are the Gammas.

Disagreement with public conduct by an adult isn't hate. Accusations of such are leveled by people who emote, rather than reason.

Assume for the sake of argument that there are in fact, one or more real SA victims-who for whatever reason have chosen NOT to make police reports or first party public allegations. Instead, there trauma is being publicized by an immature, indiscrete woman.

Here's questions NOBODY has asked. Did Syd get permission to publicize these allegations? Did the alleged victims discuss this with legal counsel before making her their spokesmouth? If she was aware of criminal acts, why didn't she report to the police contemporaneously, rather than to the Daily KIndergartenian?

And what the hell was this? I don't know about you, but if life in the room was so bad, would I be making this sort of ringing public endorsement of the program or just avoiding the camera and mic until I was able to get out?

Next we'll hear how this was coerced.

People will always protect their own. But the lengths people have gone to bash Syd and say she's not credible because of social media is wild. Protecting Carter is one thing but bashing Syd is something totally different. We all know who the woman haters here are now. Most are probably divorced or they hate the wife they have life isn't a guarantee so enjoy it

Its not about bashing her. She presents herself in a particular light. It that is pointed out on here that isn't bashing its stating facts. go sell crazy somewhere else we are all stocked up here lol

Fantastic film on this topic -- Absence of Malice. Paul Newman & Sally Field. Then Wilford Brimley shows up at the end and in ten minutes steals the movie with one of the greatest movie dialogues ever written. Link below for details from IMDb. If you find it uncut on one of your channels, watch it.

"You had a leak? You call what's goin' on around here a leak? Boy, the last time there was a leak like this, Noah built hisself a boat!"

Couldn’t agree more about the movie and Wilford’s theft of scene.

You got that right. Every time someone made a comment about the intentions behind the Collegian article, I thought about that movie. What's good about the ending (besides Wilford Brimley's awesome performance) is the little weasel DA gets his butt canned for being such a prick! And don't forget, he was set up by Paul Newman's character. Wish that would happen more often in the real world.

I agree to a point that people are bashing her however, im a firm believer that people on the internet that expose themselves for money have little to nothing to say about how people should react thats the price for playing on the intranet

Oh well yes, upon a second reading, let's all gather a posse and get the rapist.

Now that there's claim by a college newspaper, we can just dispense with all that pesky charge, indictment, trial, conviction, sentencing stuff and we can just get to the good part.

good point. SA and rape are 2 different things... one could be inconsequential.... but I'm out on this subject/thread

We ain't a frettin' no details here. And if y'all is a fixiin' to argue the difference between the two, you must be one of them women haters. Are with us or again us? We're ridin' to protect American womanhood here. Now either be deputized and grab a torch and or let the real men folk handle this menace.

Oh wait.

Not what Im saying at all. Wasn't sure if you were aware that Syd wasn't talking for them in the article.

I think you're under the illusion that just because you can see her public persona on social media, that means you actually know her. A common mistake older people make in the era of the internet.

BS.
I’m in the younger generation (whatever that means).
SHE is the one who wants the public to feel like they know her, it’s her entire income mechanism! That’s not a shot, it’s how all Instagram models, endorsers, etc gain followers and likes. You literally are made to feel like they know you and care about you and they buy your products.
Unreal. “You guys should be ashamed for noticing a woman whose entire livelihood is based around being noticed”.

If somebody stays quiet because of fear, trauma or misplaced shame, I get it.

But going to ace cub reporter at the Daily Collegian “in an attempt to stop my assailant from attacking more young girls, ” isn't remaining quiet or stopping the alleged assailant from "attacking more young girls".

"“I called her and told her everything I knew, and that I didn’t know if it was true but I felt she should know,” Sydney said"

So she was groomed again?

Going to the Police or telling parents is apples to oranges.

And even though the orange is easier to eat, it is often left whole too.

Syd made your post her new profile background on X. I’m guessing she welcomes the comparison. And on the culture war goes….

Yeah - looks like Slumlord Bob's "incentive award" to the Collegian journalist was a bust, just like his buyouts where he pilfered other school's teams. JTS - make sure you post the link above to the Hawk message board site.

 

[Hotshoe]

I have purposely stayed out of this conversation, except for supporting Beau as a person and a terrific wrestler for Penn State. That said. I find it hard to believe Penn State Wrestling would put this on X without having Carter's back and knowing more than most folks do. Hmmmm, I still think of Brannt's post regarding Cael wanting to issue a statement...

And yet somehow, he didn't win the Hodge. Is there a less relevant sports trophy out there? Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot about the Heisman. And that bucket thing.

Well, since this appears to be real, somebody's X post is simply not worth salt.

So, the real question is, how is the SafeSport posted, yet, no one has made anything public on a police blotter? How does that even happen? Or, you just report something to SafeSport and you're automatically on the list? I'm asking honest questions here.

So, the real question is, how is the SafeSport posted, yet, no one has made anything public on a police blotter? How does that even happen? Or, you just report something to SafeSport and you're automatically on the list? I'm asking honest questions here.

It looks like Safe Sports allows numerous individuals to report: "You don’t need to be an athlete to report abuse and misconduct—we take reports from coaches, parents, administrators, and all others who experience or know of relevant conduct. Nor do you need to have experienced it personally." ​

Also, per the suspension list posted above by jtothemfp: "placement on this list only means that a complaint has been filed and is awaiting resolution."

https://uscenterforsafesport.org/report-a-

​

WHAT CAN I REPORT?
The Center accepts all reports affecting the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement of:

• Aiding and Abetting, when it relates to the Center’s process
• Misconduct Related to the Center’s Process
• Other Inappropriate Conduct, as defined herein

The Center has exclusive jurisdiction to investigate and resolve reports affecting the Movement in the bulleted categories above.
The Center also accepts reports of emotional and physical misconduct (including bullying, hazing, stalking, and harassment) within the Movement. Reports of emotional and physical misconduct can also be made directly to your sport’s national governing body (NGB). Also, reports of MAAPP violations can be made directly to your sport’s national governing body (NGB).

If you suspect child abuse or neglect:​

Report it to your local authorities, in addition to (and before) reporting it to the Center. If you are a mandatory reporter, you are required by law to do so: know your state’s specific criteria.

Anyone can make a report to the U.S. Center for SafeSport of abuse or misconduct involving one of 11+ million individuals in 50+ Olympic and Paralympic sports at national, regional, and local levels.

So, in essence, anyone can report whatever they want, and the person gets listed without due process. Sounds totally legit to me. A freaking, 401(c)3 has this type of autonomy? Just wow. So, prove you innocence.

 

[Corneliuswonder]

He’s been accused by multiple teammates of sexual misconduct against other teammates. Safe Sport exists because a bunch of sports - think women’s gymnastics - have unfortunate histories where coaches or staffers abuse players and getting away with it for years because of the privacy and trust that a locker room provides, so they take that sort of locker room conduct seriously. If someone is accused of sexual misconduct against teammates, it doesn’t seem unreasonable at all to temporarily restrict that person’s ability to be in a locker room around teammates until the complaint is sorted out.

Don’t forget- the nature of the report is not divulged at this point. So an individual is listed for all the world to see, but the world doesn’t know what the allegation is, and (as you point out) the individual has no access to due process. They basically are in limbo.

I’m not sure if or when the report/allegation ever gets made public.

An Olympic athlete was a friend of the family and was put on the list. We only knew through him what the allegation was (inappropriate behavior towards a female during a team trip, but not SA). Eventually it was resolved in his favor but I don’t believe any of the allegations ever became public, and I believe the person who filed the complaint was never disclosed. But he was barred from practice for 6 months.
