Jerrard Tarrant

For those of you who aren't as big into following what happens to unsupervised and often intoxicated college football players during the offseason, meet Jerrard Tarrant, 19, a redshirt freshman CB at Georgia Tech. According to a report from the AJC:

Tarrant was arrested Friday on charges of rape and sodomy. He was released Saturday on $40,000 bond. Tech football coach Paul Johnson suspended Tarrant from the team pending the outcome of the legal proceedings. Tarrant, a redshirt freshman, emerged from spring practice as one of two top contenders for a starting cornerback job this fall.

The story went something like this, Tarrant (drunk) meets girl (drunk) at party. The two go back to Tarrants dorm room where rape allegedly takes place. Tarrant maintains any contact was consensual. This is the part that is so bothersome. The victim stated:

"I drank alcohol at the party so it wasn't hard for him to get me to go to his room,"...But once she got to Tarrant's room and he began touching her, she told him to stop because she had a boyfriend...

Seriously???

That's your official statement???

Don't get me wrong for a second here, if Tarrant is guilty of any wrong doing, he's scum and should be locked up. However, if he's not, it's just one of the countless examples of where drinking and trying to get some from a girl with a boyfriend goes wrong.

Lesson: Think with your brain, no matter how poorly it may function, rather than your doogan.
