Daily Collegian Article On Starrocci Allegations
- Thread starter Misalorales
- Start date
Isn’t there an editor looking over the students work? Come on , using fake names versus accuser #1 or Jane doe makes no sense
That was a dumb report and the student should consider a different profession
I get victims not wanting to talk about what happened because it brings back horrible memories. But these "victims" talked to the newspaper about what allegedly happened so they're obviously able to talk about it. So why not tell the police 
.
.Beau's wife is writing checks that his legacy can't cash. He better get control of the situation in his own house before all of Nittany Nation turns against him
I think it’s too late for Beau as far as Nittany Nation‘s feelings towards him go. Hopefully he enjoys being a social media hero.
Best post on this thread!
just editing your post and typing delete is a better way to delete your post rather It
Since there is no "delete" option on this Board like there was on HVI, editing your original post to "delete" is a great option.
A lot of people said the same thing about Cruiseliner Nick, and then the guys celebrated backstage with him when he won his Rutger national title.
Cruisliner Nick and his wife didn’t bash Cael and and teammate every few hours on social media
nick didn’t say anything negative
No, he and his father just used NJ.com and Flo and his mouthpiece. Nobody was fooled.
The point is that Bartlett has said anything negative about only one of his teammates, who is no longer on the team himself. The remaining guys may or may not hate him, but probably don't if their own personal relationships were good.
Basically saying his teammates allowed systemic abuse by teammates (and against teammates) under their watch is pretty damning stuff.

Yeah, but this assumes they care what he says publicly. You might bet on it. I wouldn't bet either way. We've seen far too many cases of college athletes not thinking the same way the fans do.
Exactly. The op you responded to acts like nobody other than the Bartletts and the writer have basic rights here. Can the op show me these legal convictions, or clear team/University rule violations, that C* is supposedly to be punished for? There aren't any to my knowledge.
Some of the people on this board are a bit hypocritical about being promiscuous as a college student - while having sex with whomever is interested in having sex with you (star athletes receive a lot of attention from groupies) may not meet with their "moral sensibilities", it doesn't make them a criminal based on extremely flimsy accusations
Seems to me you do not give much credence to Beau's comments and statements. Where there is smoke....
Unless you think Beau has fabricated the details. Do I think Beau and Carter had personal issues towards each other? Certainly yes. But would Beau make comments that can be validated by other teammates about some of Carter's actions.? I think not .
My daughter knew Beau when she went to school as a grad student. She doubts that he would lie about what happened.
I truly hope that this situation does not become Lusitanian like.

But your willing to say Cael and others (such as TK) are liars if they don't fall in line with the Syn & Beau Show? Got it.
No, I truly haven't seen one comment from Cael. Maybe I missed something that you saw. If Cael was quoted on issue please post.
I would think Cael would be probably one of the most believable and honest coaches in the NCAA . You obviously do not accept Beau's comments as having any truth.
I truly hope this doesn't steam roll into something that is devastating to the program.
Your sarcasm might have merit if you know the situation details better than me. Maybe you do.
The fan base can look at Beau as the villain. Do I wish he would of not pressed the issue.?Of course.
I personally have more issues with Carter.
By your handle name , you obviously understand what can happen to a coach when social agenda's becomes part of the decision making of the University. Fortunately Kraft will have Cael's back.
Let's hope Cael's resume is enough for the school administration and board to support him.
CT, You seem to respond that you know something. Can you tell me if Beau made all the post on the wrestling forums and "X". I am not on any social media except wrestling forums. I saw something about Flo, but also just what was posted on the Iowa form.
Is it him or could someone else be posting? Thanks

"My daughter knew Beau when she went to school as a grad student. She doubts that he would lie about what happened."
Well, that settles it. /s
If you have second thoughts about posting something, just don’t hit post!…it will just hang out there for only yourself to see!
She has not spoken to him in a couple of years. She made general assumption on what he seemed to be like as a person. No different when we all meet people and develope a friendship.
Once again , I will note . Should the fan base be more upset with Beau or Carter's actions. It seems to me the base is making Beau the villain and overlooking Carter's potential actions.
I just hope that Cael and the staff are given some well deserved grace for the overall excellence in the way the program has been run.
I just don't see this story going away for a while. There will be a voice from the minority that will bring light to these allegations. Hopefully it becomes more about 2 athletes and less about the program we endear.
I'm not going to post anymore about this situation until August. I would think "No news would be Good news".

The only thing known for sure is Beau told Cael about the theft, which was reported to the campus police. Take nude pics, unless Cael was physically present, they is no proof unless someone saved them on Snapchat. I don't recall anywhere in the article thay Cael was made aware of the alleged sexual assault. And if so that is a police matter. Do I believe CS is a piece of crap human, absolutely, is Cael a police officer or a jury, no. Has cael addressed the problems? Nobody knows. You can't even find out from the program who is starting week to week and does anyone expect to find out any info about this? And I did read somewhere that the coaching staff had a statement prepared, but the administration vetoed the idea.Seems to me you do not give much credence to Beau's comments and statements.

When I ponder how well Daily Collegian reporters research and understand the topics on which they are reporting, I’m reminded of this gem:
www.psucollegian.com
It’s time for Penn State wrestling to make a change at 125 pounds | Opinion
After another lackluster performance for Nittany Lion Devin Schnupp, it’s time for the Nittany Lions to move on.
Did you read the part of the article that says the police investigated Beau's theft report - including Beau's accusations as to who did it? Did you read the part where the police said they reviewed the security systems to see who was in the building..... - the police could confirm that C* was in the building on the date and times reported by BB (they confirmed that C* entered the building with another wrestler - TK). But the police could find no evidence that linked C* to breaking into BB's locker - or even being seen around BB's locker. This included a police interview with TK who confirmed he and C* came in together, but told police he never saw C* at, or hanging out near, BB's locker. Based on zero evidence and substantiationof Beau's accusations relative to his believed perpetrator, the police informed BB that they were closing their investigation in regards to that suspect. The article also clearly states that Beau was dissatisfied with the police conclusions and investigation primarily because they did not line-up with his zero-evidence, completely subjective allegations. The police interviewed TK who apparently did not support BB's claims as to C*'s activities while he was in the building with C*. How is it that only BB's subjective, evidence-less claims can be viewed as gospel truth in your mind (because your daughter told you BB only speaks gospel truth - even when he makes evidence-less purely-subjective accusations against someone else, including not witnessing what he is claiming but "knows who did it"..... well, just because he knows.).
Somehow, anybody who doesn't fall in lock-step with BB's conjecture is now a liar in your mind (this is the same rationale that BB's wife has taken in willy-nilly labeling C*s a liar, a criminal [despite never having been convicted of anything], a pedophile, a sexual offender..... and a long list of other henious things. She has also made similar claims against coaches and others that have not fully and unquestionably supported her allegations. What a world.
That question has some meat to it.
Based on my own instincts, and past behavior, I'd lean toward Carter's a bad guy. But the thing is, he's had the sense, for once, to keep it off social media, and he's innocent until proven guilty..........I was a huge Beau fan. I appreciate these guys for what they can do, and don't need 10 Jason Nolfs in the lineup. But the way Beau has approached this is highly suspect at best. And I don't think there's any doubt that his wife is trying to cultivate her social media presence from this series of events. When things were maybe quieting down, she posts: "wait guys i just realized i haven’t been called a liberal OF wh*re yet today, does anyone want to go first so we can get it out of the way?". If she's championing the victims, how does a post like that help them? She wants the spotlight, and Beau supports it. There's the problem.
I think it is fair that some credibility be given to Beau's comments and statements, but I am still of the opinion that there should be plenty of caution moving forward with this. Unless I'm missing something, Beau's statements have consisted of:Seems to me you do not give much credence to Beau's comments and statements. Where there is smoke....

- Accusation of theft by Carter (seems by the timeline that this occurred in December 2024). It seems everyone is ingroup Snapchat in the locker room agreement that BB went to Cael with this; that Cael supported BB going to the police if that was what he suspected; that the police investigated it (how thoroughly is questionable, but also typical of this type of crime); and that there wasn't evidence to conclude anything.
- Accusation of snapping pictures in the locker room and sharing them on the team Snapchat by Carter. For those of you unfamiliar with Snapchat, this is an app where kids take pictures and post them to people they are connected with. These pictures disappear after a set period of time. You can save them only if you take a screenshot of them; otherwise, they are deleted. It has not been indicated when this occurred or when/if it was reported.
- Accusation of sexual assault, harassment, bullying, or whatever you want to call it, by Carter (corroborated by an anonymous wrestler, "Mark"). The actions were detailed as having taken place during practice and involved the five-on-two, oil-check/thumb-ride, and purposeful kneeing to the head while wrestling. Again, unclear when this occurred, if it was reported to coaches, etc.
#1 was reported and investigated. In my mind, Carter is a likely suspect if the theft occurred, but basically impossible to do anything without evidence. And if you decide to take action even without evidence, impossible to do this without taking action against Kasak (who, in my mind, is likely innocent).
#2 reminds me of stupid crap that use to happen all the time when I was young, but with today's technology can rise to a level of being very actionable. Probably doesn't move the needle much for law enforcement, but definitely dismissed from the team, university punishment if provable. Unfortunately, we don't know if/when this was ever reported to anyone in an official capacity, and it is likely that Beau didn't obtain any evidence of this, and/or teammates did not corroborate this in the event it was reported. Otherwise, there is no way this didn't turn into something. And Beau issued a pretty clear statement that there was really nothing the coaches could do a few weeks ago.
#3 - I really hope this isn't Beau advancing the idea of this as sexual assault. I think it is more likely that Beau tells others (his wife, friends, the reporter) about these actions to complete the picture of what a d*ck Carter is (not disagreeing), and then others not familiar with combat sports paint it this way. Anyone who has spent time in a combat sport knows that this crap isn't pulled with SA intent. It's done by guys trying to bully and intimidate you on the mat. In sports where bullying and intimidation are paths to success. D*ck move, but not uncommon and unfortunately part of the sport. If this is Beau (or any other wrestler) trying to advance this idea, or bringing it to authorities to deal with, I'm just SMFH. But like I said, I doubt that is the case. This is just piling on examples of Carter being a d*ck and others running with it.
So I think that it is entirely possible that Beau is being very credible here AND that Carter, while being a d*ckhead, hasn't done anything actionable in terms of the three accusations that BB has leveled. In fact, I think it's probable. Now, the sexual assault accusations against women are another story, but as far as I have seen, that is not BB making those accusations. Of course, maybe I missed something or that has been done behind the scenes.
Focusing just on theft of Beau’s items…. Per article no mention if he put a combo lock or lock key on his locker…so: Beau puts $ 1,000 shoes in his locker and does not lock them up?! If he didn’t put one on, that’s really dumb since a lock costs ~ $5- $10 vs $1,000.
I am questioning his common sense/logic. There are no cameras in locker room = that’s illegal.

Just my take, but when Mrs. Bartlett and Beau were screaming about Carter and Carter's behaviors I was listening and wondering. Once Mrs. Bartlett shifted her targeting from Carter and Carter's behaviors to Cael and staff I began to wonder something else all together. It is Mrs. Bartlett's motivations I am now wondering about.

Here we are over a week out past the original release of this article, no closer to getting additional facts other than the university twice declined to answer questions about the sexual misconduct allegations. In looking at the article again and some public statements by Bartlett, I'm laying out a timeline here:
- Late 2024: Bartletts are made aware of a sexual assault allegation against Starocci. Mutual connections brought Jane's story to the Bartletts. The collegian article doesn't specify what that story was, or what the Bartletts claim to have known about this incident. Jane told the Collegian she was raped twice by Starocci and that she contacted him the next day to get the morning after pill.
- Late 2024: Sydney Bartlett calls Starocci's girlfriend to tell her about what she knew. The collegian article doesn't specify what Sydney Bartlett knew about the allegations or what exactly she told Starocci's girlfriend.
- No interview of Starocci's girlfriend was done for the article. We don't know what she was told about, or what she discussed with CS while breaking off their relationship
- 12/4/24: Days after Syd talks to Starocci's girlfriend. BB enters locker room to find locker broken into and over $1k in property missing. We don't know the last time BB saw his property intact, how the locker was broken into (i.e. broken lock or left unlocked). BB initially reaches out to teammates who said CS stole from their lockers in the past. "It felt like an act of retaliation."
- BB spoke to "multiple coaches" - doesn't say who.
- 12/6/24: BB reports to police after talking to Cael, who supported whatever decision he chose to make. Unclear if BB reported anything related to the photographs or sexual assault rumors he had heard.
- 6/4/25 - UPPS closes criminal investigation on 6/4 due to insufficient evidence.
- 6/4/25 - UPPS refers "theft" matter to the student conduct office
- 6/7/25 - BB posts cryptic message
- Sometime after 6/4/25 but prior to 6/27/25 - BB talks to the Collegian.
- 6/27/25 - Collegian article released. BB says he reported theft and photo to Cael, but that "nothing came of it from the coach." No mention in article whatsoever if anything other than the theft was reported by BB to police or the disciplinary office.
- 6/30/25 - BB posts on X a statement that "everything I spoke about in that article was reported to a coach as it happened, whether it happened to me or someone else." and "The sides are not me vs. everyone else but me wanting more information uncovered and misconduct within the sport to be eradicated vs. remaining silent in the hopes that this all goes away."
- Clarify who and what he told each individual coach about the accusations, whether related to theft, photographs, mat misconduct or sexual assault;
- Discuss whether or not he had spoken with the Office of Student Conduct about any or all of these issues;
- Discuss whether or not he reported anything other than theft to the University Police;
- Discuss whether or not there was any discipline imposed by the university or an explanation as to why not;
- Discuss what he wanted the coaching staff to do in response to his reported allegations and whether he was given any explanation for why "nothing came of it from the coach."
I’m betting 1 week of literally no other media picking up this story is not how Syd (and her puppy Beau) thought this would play out. In about 5 years when Beau is divorced, he’s going to be thinking “what the hell did I let that lady get me in to”?
Reposting some of my thoughts on the 247 board about this:
On the allegations (that everyone believes) that Bartlett reported the off the mat SA to Cael and he did nothing:
"There is intentional misleadingness at this point.
Let's start with this. Brantt said very clearly none of the off the mat SAs were ever reported to the coaches or police.
The Daily Collegian article did this and I thought it was suspicious. They talked about two instances of reporting, one was what happened in the locker room (the theft, hazing and pictures) and one was the SA. The locker room stuff was explicitly stated it was reported to coaches. The SA did NOT. Why were they separated? Why did they leave out that part for the alleged SA. If the second thing was NOT reported to the coaches, it should state as such.
"Beau said the photos were reported to Sanderson along with the theft, but nothing came of it from the coach." Okay and it was addressed in the article the theft was investigated and closed. The hazing/pictures will be a he said she said story and I think the morality of hazing happening and just accepting it is discussed enough.
"They also reported knowledge of rumors of Starocci’s sexual misconduct and inappropriate interactions with minors." To Who? You're being unclear on purpose.
Second, Bartlett said everything I SPOKE ABOUT was reported to the coaches. He did NOT speak about the SAs, that was "Jane" and "Ava" (anonymous alleged victims) Once again he did not clarify.
It's obvious they are implying "We reported the SAs to Cael and he did nothing" (and obviously that is what haters with their own agenda will believe) but they aren't actually saying those words when they have had multiple chances to say THOSE WORDS. They sure are okay saying they told the coaches something and nothing was done.
I really wanted to give Beau the benefit of the doubt but he has an axe to grind, period."
I'd add Evan Smith's own answer to that:

I'd add Evan Smith's own answer to that:
On the theft and Carter being "unable to be located for 6 months"
"I think the "police couldn't get ahold of Carter for 6 months" is misleading as well. It shows how ignorant people are to one of the most basic fundamental of law, never talk to the police. Any decent (hell any licensed) attorney tells you that first and foremost. Even if you are innocent, you can only make it worse.
Of course they want to phrase it as "Cael didn't let police into the locker room" The officers 100% took Carter's nonresponse as him pleading the 5th. If they went to find him on campus, he'd say exactly the same thing (I do not wish to speak)
Second, is that the first time Beau had something valuable stolen? I'm sorry, I learned at a young age that's how theft is handled by adults. It sucks but it's reality. They first ask if you misplaced it then after that it's on you. You can't throw an accusation out at someone with no DIRECT evidence (I last had it at this time then he was in the area and then I couldn't find it is not enough evidence) and expect them to be punished, you need to find the item in their possession. You can be 99% sure but it's not proof. Beau decided to call the police and they handled it the same way, Carter being there alone is not proof.
I'm not saying he's innocent but that is why nothing was done to Carter regarding the theft and why Cael didn't do more. Can the court of public opinion judge Carter as a terrible person and thief? Absolutely and that was clearly Beau's goal here."

I had the same thought about her recent posts. One thing is clear, she likes the attention this story has brought her and as it dies down, she is trying to stoke the fire again.
