Oh, I didn’t realize sexual abuse stopped at age 17. Must have missed that day in criminal law.

I think the point was that the charges stemmed from the girl not being of legal age to give consent and not that Ingram actually physically assaulted her.

That’s not he was changed with. He was changed with carnal knowledge with a Juvenile.

there in lies the problem. He was punished yet not convicted of anything. Can you wrap your little coonass brain around that? Teams need to stop suspending players until the system runs its course and not just based on accusations or charges.

Either way, it is not a good look for Ingram. Best he can do is put his head down, don’t hang with bad crowd and focus on clean living.

He did not lose a year of his life, nor was his life destroyed. His punishment - deserved or not, I have no idea - was that he had to spend a year of college the way most of us spent ours.

A lot of hyperbole in this thread.

Life isn't fair and shite happens to all of us. Just have to make the best of it.

I’m outraged that any woman can simply accuse any man of sexual assault or battery and the man is automatically convicted in the court of public opinion without due process. There are plenty of examples of men losing their jobs and careers based on an allegation that an assault occurred. You don’t just dismiss a case if there is proof of wrong doing. It suggest there was not proof. If there was only her word, why was he dismissed? He said he was innocent all along if I’m not mistaken. Do you think that is OK?

Do you have any proof or knowledge that the woman in this case is the accuser? It was a consent issue because of her age.

Still sucks that he was convicted without any actual proof, other than the womans word; or so it appears based on what I know. The case was dismissed so I’m speculating a bit.


No one knows anything but the two people involved and highly doubtful a woman would make up a story and humiliate herself to get back at a man. Sure these things happen but law enforcement is trained to see who is lying and get one wrong on occasion

So, based on some of these responses Ed Ingram is absolutely guilty of a crime. So, because she’s 17 she can’t lie? Kids lie at 10 yrs old but not at 17. The case was dismissed. The point is that Ed Ingram’s life was affected and it appears there was not proof of wrong doing or the case wouldn’t have been dismissed.

Antonio Brown hasn't been charged with any crimes either. You running around knighting for him to get shite back?


You have zero clue about what really happened with any of that, just like the rest of us. Be glad he can play for LSU and STFU.

So, Ed Ingram is guilty now? If he’s guilty he should be in jail. Not sure why anyone would construe that it would ever be OK to take advantage of a 17 year, or a 40 year old. 17 is legal in Louisiana. The case was dismissed.

This was what was reported when he was suspended.

“Ingram, who started 12 of 13 games for LSU as a true freshman last season, was arrested on Aug. 2 on two felony counts of aggravated sexual assault of a minor by the Dallas County Sheriff's Department on a warrant from the DeSoto Police Department that had been in contact with Child Protective Services as far back as Aug. 22, 2017, according to the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper.”

These charges does not sound like consensual sex between a 19 and 17 year old imo.
Is CPS called for a 17 year old? I’m no expert. Just asking.

You aren’t an idiot necessarily but you’re displaying ignorance of the justice system. The DA wouldn’t have wasted his and the court’s time and it wouldn’t have lasted this long if there was zero evidence whatsoever. Having some evidence and having enough to get a conviction are two different things. No one in here knows the intimate facts of this case and we likely never will.

This is the risk he took dating a girl that wasn't of legal age to give her consent. If they had sex he is guilty of a crime even if he didn't force himself on her. It may have been the parents that turned him into DFS. It could have been a neighbor. CPS could have been called in for other reasons and they could have turned him in for it. We have no clue why CPS was involved. You're making all kinds of leaps here.

The DA dropped the case, the accuser didn’t drop the charges. Which usually means there was no “there” there. DAs don’t drop cases they think they can win.

Which isn't even a crime in Louisiana. These laws vary from state to state and creates a lot of confusion. Seems like it should be the same everywhere.




Pretty sure that's a crime. It's statutory though. If he was 18, no problem. 19 you enter that 2 year difference relm.

And I agree that it should be the same, but then again I'm all for states rights. If your state wants to legalize weed, go ahead, if not, then no big deal either.

Oh, I bet his last year of life was just peachy; especially with people like you convicting him in the court of public opinion and the case was just dropped. No biggy !!
