What do you guys think? Leagues like the NFL tend to protect the players even though they are fuckups and not punish them. Rapists go unchecked without punishment and get to make millions. Discuss.
That history is well known. In 2008, Lueke, was charged with rape and sodomy. The victim, a 22-year-old woman, told police that after a night at the bar with Lueke and other players, she'd awoken, partially clothed, on a couch in the apartment he shared with a teammate. She told police she remembered vomiting, and that, while she was doing so, someone had been standing at her side, masturbating on her. DNA found in her hair, on her tank-top, and on an anal swab matched that of Lueke's, despite the fact that he'd said there was no physical contact between him and the victim. After his arrest, he changed his story, telling police they'd had consensual sex.
In the end, Lueke pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of false imprisonment with violence. He was sentenced to the 42 days he'd already spent in jail, and now makes around half a million dollars a year. According to a story, by 2011 he was "moving forward," and described his crime as "a freak accident kind of thing."
