Multiple sources are reporting that LSU running back Tae Provens was arrested Wednesday on one count of third-degree rape after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman at an on-campus apartment last weekend. Per The Advocate:

quote:
Freshman running back Alfonso "Tae" Provens was arrested Wednesday on one count of third-degree rape. LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard III confirmed Provens arrest Wednesday afternoon.

"We can confirm that Alfonso Provens has been arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on third degree rape charges," Ballard said. "We take any and all allegations like these seriously, and currently, this is a law enforcement investigation. Once the law enforcement component is completed, the Office of Student Advocacy & Accountability and the Title IX office will conduct their investigation as well."

Provens, a former three-star athlete from Gurley, AL, entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal on March 21 and has not participated in team activities since.

He played in just two games as a true freshman in 2018.

Gotta stay away from those drunk girls.

BleedgurpleTX•86 months

Why... It's okay to assault drunk girls? Now it's the girls fault?

Ripley•86 months

So he had sex with a drunk girl. Drunk girl regretted her actions = 3rd degree rape.

reauxl tigers•86 months

This happens way too often.

BleedgurpleTX•86 months

Don't have sex with drunk people... Get married and hopefully your wife won't accuse you of rape.

KennabraTiger•86 months

Bleedgurple, how high is that cloud of yours?

DeplorableTigerFan•86 months

Tae it ain't so. Only running he may get to do is from a cell mate.

I'd love to start a movement to have an equal punishment to females if it is not in fact rape. Just because you feel bad about it the next day has no justification to ruin a man's life. This can scare men to be afraid to make a move on a girl and no one likes going on dry streaks.

Good luck trying to Provens it.

blueboy•86 months

It should begin and end in the criminal court system. These "Title 9 Tribunals" must all be abolished. They're nothing but SJW platforms set up to ruin people with baseless accusations. Not saying this one is baseless, but it should stay in the REAL courts.
