ESPN article on cover up at Mizzou

[sonofUT62]

Outside the lines reporting that Missouri administration covered up the assault of a female athlete by a football player. I threaded this in recruiting forum since we have a couple of recruits mulling visits there. Sorry I couldn't include link, if someone knows how I would appreciate the help.

Just read through part of the article- so awful that I stopped reading.

What an awful, disgusting story.

Wow.

Yeah Its terrible. If the mods want to move it to another forum then I completely understand. I just always try to avoid the football forum. Its relevant in that its this close to NSD, but I hope I didn't give off that vibe off being a heartless person.

University of Missouri officials did not pursue rape case, Outside The Lines investigation finds - ESPN

ESPN piece seems to be making a mountain out of a mole hill. JMO. The inviduals that she disclosed the sexual assault to were by law restricted from reporting it.

The medical staff, not the administration. It even claims that under Title 9 they're required to investigate.

I don't believe that is true, if someone has reasonable cause to believe a crime has taken place. There is no kind of HIPAA health care privacy concerns that would override criminal justice. Privacy and anonymity can be maintained, at least during investigative phases.

Before you guys make too many jokes, take note that Menu Courey committed suicide.

Another example of "win at all costs". :sad:

And Yes I feel terrible that the poor girl killed herself, so my apologies. I was only reacting to the Jameis Winston thing.

This response is in a bit of a grey area, IMO.

Yes, the doctors' hands would be tied. Yes, the University would not really be able to investigate without a HIPAA release.

Then again, I don't think there is anything preventing the University from reporting the allegation to law enforcement officials who, IMO, would be the proper investigating agency anyhow. The police and prosecutors are exempt from HIPAA so long as the information requested falls within the scope of their investigation.

However, shouldn't the decision of reporting or not reporting be on the victim? Go back and read the threads about Jameis Winston and what was said about the girl involved in that case. Whether or not to go through with that is a big decision and maybe that's best left in the hands of the victim?

Much more complicated situation than appears at first blush, IMO.

Are they (university admin) not required to report the incident? If so it's not that complicated.

Article specifically says that admin is required to investigate. If the info in article is correct then the administration has no HIPPA restrictions.

This is a terrible situation, and was handled poorly by staff at Mizzou.

Thanks for the link. There certainly appears to be much more to this than just an ordinary cover-up. All the family wants are answers and all they seem to get are more questions. It's an absolutely horrible situation, nothing for anyone to make light of here.

Didnt Pinkel get arrested a few years back?

 

[deezvols]

I don't know what's worse, the situation itself or the lack of class/concern by the numerous people who commented on the ESPN article.
