University of Minnesota football players won't face charges in sexual assault investigation

Ten suspended University of Minnesota football players will not face criminal charges in connection with an alleged sexual assault of a 22-year-old female student.

The woman claimed she had been assaulted by 10 to 20 men on the team who 'lined up like they were waiting for a turn on her' after their season-opening victory against Oregon State on September 2.

But Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman has declined for the second time to charge any of the players, despite calling their behavior 'deplorable'.

Freeman previously decided not to prosecute the players in November, until the school's own investigation revealed troubling details about the alleged assault.

After reviewing that report, Freeman stood by his November decision, saying the school's investigation didn't add sufficient evidence to warrant criminal charges.

What College would do any different? They all have to cover-up any crime they can to keep their numbers down on crime since high crime numbers and certain crimes hurts recruitment.

This incident is outrageous.
It is obvious rape. No decent man would participate in such behavior, and there is no way to justify it.
Period.
