He's looking at a likelihood of two years in prison. I'm shocked they aren't going to register him as a "sex offender," though. They tend to give that to people who have consensual sex in public places. This, IMO, is definitely more of a sex offense.

[pat grimshaw]

it seems like a drunken prank to me.

I'm surprised this made it as far as it did. I've more or less been resigned to the belief that "that's how sports fans can get sometimes", where the main thought in this case would've been "Why was the LSU fan so dumb as to pass out where the Alabama fans could get at him?" And where the main response to this sentencing would be "LSU fans are pussies".

The charge was sexual battery, plea deal to obscenity charges.

He will likely serve 2 or 3 months and then get probation. I think they are making a point, they don't want their fans to create a bad image of the school.

[AshyPhoenix]

Well, he's from Alabama. I guess we should be glad he wasn't rubbing his genitals on his cousin.

I definitely realize sports fans can be assholes, especially when a decent rivalry and alcohol are involved, but a crime is a crime. He's dumb for passing out in enemy territory, but the other guy should still be prosecuted.

Two years recommended is pretty serious, though. Kinda shocked at that. I think a smaller sentence yet making him register as a sex offender would be better.

[cgymike]

If seminal fluids were found add 12 years to sentence.

There at least a thousand pictures on JUB showing English, European and South American football players stripping off and getting drunk, kissing and frolicking

Well, when all parties participated willingly (although drunk), it's all fun. If it's not consensual, it's a crime.

[Hard-up1]

Aren't drunken excesses hilarious? I tell you, when you pass out, the world is gonna be your oyster!

Put you in jail first !!!


NaughtyArousal i think you are sexually conservatively weird.

Only if you think "registering as a sex offender" is going easier on someone than a two-year sentence. I hardly think it is. Chances are he'll get out in two months (first time offender), maybe take some classes ("alcohol treatment classes" or "anger management classes" - doesn't really matter), and then walk out with a relatively clean record - I doubt he'll have trouble finding employment in Alabama, for instance. The sex offender thing is for life.

Of all words possible I can think of to sexually describe NaughtyArousal, 'conservative' would be the LAST.

Well he thinks nudity in the gym change room is weird LOL

I'd use the words 'intelligent' and 'principled' yet also 'egotistical and 'downright perverse'.

Unfortunately he has me on his Ignore List…and he thinks being an artist will give him an escape from his issues. He'd be a psychiatrist's dream!

Telstra...you, of all people here, shouldn't be saying anyone has weird thoughts

Playing a few secs from that, it seems others were willing to do the same. The girl friend of another guy blocked him from exposing himself, and probably saved him from a similar legal suit, jail time, and damages.

I don't want to spend 5 minutes watching drunk idiots again! At what point did the so-called offence happen?

[purina]

Finger up nose 1:03 to 1:44, genitals out 3:27 to 4:39.

[pat grimshaw]

OK. so the flesh may touch at 3.47. But I reckon it's a trivial incident and the judge must have come out on the Mayflower

[swerve]

You have got to be KIDDING me???

There is NO CRIME here...

We are putting WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE in jail for NO GOOD reason...

He should have fought the charges...

This is the picture caption from the article linked by NA:

Brian Downing, who pleads guilty on Tuesday, is scene here escorted by detectives for his booking on sexual battery and obscenity charges in January.

GAAAAH! It's SEEN, not SCENE! Fucking sub-editors really need to get their fucking shit together.....

[tombastep]

Did you actually watch the video or are you blind? He took his balls out at 3:30 and humped the guys face while he was passed out.

Please explain, I would love to hear this.

What the hell kind of world do you live in where this shouldn't be considered a crime? Taking your genitals and rubbing them on someone who is passed out, which clearly means it isn't consensual.

[G-Lexington]

Can the severity of the punishment be linked to how attractive the guy is? Ugly guy gets six months, hot guy gets a second date?

You are lying and only trying to fill up space in the thread.

[pat grimshaw]

One of the many things my parents taught me was to never ever fall asleep in a public place. Thieves are everywhere. But to be unconscious in a public place is asking for trouble.

[tombastep]

That doesn't excuse the crime.

[pat grimshaw]

I wouldn't fall asleep in the middle of the road on a dark night.

I lived 3 years in a fraternity house -- that shit happened ALL THE TIME!!!

And -- YES -- pictures were ALWAYS taken...

For any young college guy (like the ones in the video) -- it is a KNOWN QUANTITY that IF you pass out in a public space -- hijinks will PROBABLY follow...

There was no MALICE in that video -- just a bunch of drunk college kids having an AWESOME time...

[Ninja108]

All due respect to some posters here,what this guy did IS a crime. It is a good thing to pass out drunk in public? No it isn't but that does NOT give someone the right to put their hands/leg or sexual organs on you without your consent.
I really can't see the humor in this at all.

[G-Lexington]

We've apparently made "hilarious hijinks" a crime now. Damn killjoys.

Lex

[refujiunderground]

don't feel sorry for him at all. that was out of line. the punishment is outrageous but still he put himself in that situation doing something like that. wtf was he thinking pulling down his pants and sticking his dick in somebody's ear in front of everybody like that? what an idiot.

[Ninja108]

He will likely serve 2 or 3 months and then get probation. I think they are making a point, they don't want their fans to create a bad image of the school.

Perhaps the point they are making is you don't do things like this guy did to someone without their consent.

[pat grimshaw]

The point I'm making is that this guy could've take some responsibility for his own safety and not rely on the fickle heavy hand of 'Big Brother'.

[tombastep]

And again, that doesn't excuse criminal activity.

[G-Lexington]

I think the point he's making is that if this guy had been female, and they had raped her, she totally would've been asking for it.

Lex

[pat grimshaw]

^ No, I'm not.

But, as I said before, I wouldn't allow myself to fall asleep in the middle of the road on a dark night.

You pretty much are. You could say the women didn't take the responsibility in bringing something to protect herself to prevent an attack. It's the same argument you're presenting into this situation.

[pat grimshaw]

^ What women?

[tombastep]

It was a follow up to Lex' post. I didn't think I needed to explain that.

[pat grimshaw]

^

he was being hypothetical;

this thread gets exhausting when people are expected to have a "duty of care" for others rather than take personal responsibility

[tombastep]

I know what he is doing and I know what you're doing. You're dodging.

No one brought in personal responsibility besides you. I just argued that it doesn't excuse the crime or any crime committed, but you clearly show an inability to understand that.

[Just_Believe18]

One of the many things my parents taught me was to never ever fall asleep in a public place. Thieves are everywhere. But to be unconscious in a public place is asking for trouble.

And I suppose the woman walking alone at night to her car was just asking to be raped by a man. It's her fault, right?

Regardless if the man was passed out and was not conscious of being sexually assaulted, it is still a crime. His face is now all over the Internet as it is being molested by another man's sweaty balls. How disgusting and perverse. I have no sympathy for this sick, perverted guy, and he deserves the charges set against him.
