Well what do you know, this so called champion of victim's rights couldn't give two shits about a 15 year old prodigy that was taken advantage of.
Isn't that something.

According to a report from AL.com’s Amy Yurkanin, a woman who sued the University of Alabama-Birmingham in 2001 over sexual abuse she claimed to have suffered as a 15-year-old ripped Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Doug Jones for “hypocrisy” for his role as a defense attorney for the university.
quote:
Feldman’s article detailed how things went wrong for Benefield as a young student at the UAB. The university moved her at age 15 into a co-ed dorm that housed football players, and according to the story, she was described to have become a “play thing” by some of those players. According to Yurkanin’s piece for AL.com, her grades dropped. That led Benefield’s parents to withdraw her from UAB and file suit against the school. “Benefield’s GPA slipped from 3.5 her first semester to 1.9 in her third, when her parents withdrew her from school and placed her in a rehabilitation facility,” Yurkanin wrote. “Benefield’s lawsuit said she was 15 when she began drinking and having sex with older UAB students – younger than the legal age of consent in Alabama.” At the time, Jones was retained by the university and made a public statement that accused Benefield of “a cynical attempt to extort money.”
quote:
“The charges against UAB administrators and coaches are entirely without merit and represent nothing more than a cynical attempt to extort money by slandering this institution and its employees,” Jones said according to the AL.com report. Sixteen years later, Benefield spoke out to AL.com. “I find it to be the height of hypocrisy that he sets his campaign to be on the moral high ground against Roy Moore,” Benefield said. The case was settled, and according to Yurkanin, Benefield said she is unable to discuss the details of court proceedings given the settlement. However, she criticized Jones for his behavior during the mediation process. “He was not a victim’s advocate,” Benefield said to AL.com. “He was all for blaming the victim, honestly.”

This senate race may set the record for the lowest turnout percentage in modern American electoral history. Which works out in Moore's favor.

From the al.com article.
And for whatever it's worth, Jones has mostly stayed out of the Moore accusations.
quote:
John Whitaker, an attorney who represented Benefield at the time, said Jones acted professionally in his defense of UAB and did not mistreat the victim. Attorneys are required to vigorously defend their clients, and can be disciplined for failing to do so.
And for whatever it's worth, Jones has mostly stayed out of the Moore accusations.

The state of Georgia, which is infinitely better than the shithole that is Alabama, and filled with better people to boot.

The source is AL.com. You'd know that if you even bothered to read the fricking article.

Where's that laughing duck gif when you need it?

I remember this story.
Big mess all around for the university and the sports program.
Internal communication from UAB showed they knew she was not handling things well and took a fatalistic “win some lose some” approach rather than contact her parents and suggest intervention.

For what its worth, Dougie didn't need to say anything he had a corrupt lawyer and a complicit media peddling the lies for him. You don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house. Didn't your momma teach you that?
