Yes. It was in newspapers all over America.

I find it interesting that this has come up in the last few days, considering my roomate had just found Ben's website yesterday and sent me the link. First thing, he wasnt a man, he was a BOY who had been medicated with a drug whose long term effects on minors was not known at the time.I dated him about 6 months before his initial hospitalization,and dont get me wrong, he was a troubled kid, very sensitive to bad things in his life, but never aggresive towards me or others.\n I saw him the July before the murder at the park, this was after some extended time at Shepperd Pratt.....and he was completely off of his rocker...did the TRIPLE dosage of prozac affect this, absolutely. Was his judgment clouded that night, of course! Does it excuse what he did, not totally. He should have to serve time for his crime, but did he deserve life with no parole at 16 years of age? I know for sure...the whole situation breaks my heart. A life lost, a child without a mother, and a brilliant soul who couldnt see beyond his troubled youth,his life wasted behind bars.

Police don't arrest people just because someone says, "He did this!" or "She did that!" They need more than this. They need statements and they collect evidence, which can be in the form of physical evidence, witness statements and more. Furthermore, it's always a delicate situation when a high-profile person is involved. They would have dotted their Is and crossed their Ts before leaping in, lest they get sued themselves for wrongful arrest.\n\nI've worked in both law enforcement/emergency services and also radio/television. Let me give you some advice: Don't believe everything you see and hear. It is very easy to edit tapes (both sound and picture) and present a story with whatever spin you want to put on it. Further, there's a reason there's a court process: to hear everyone's side and as much evidence as possible. Just because something was on the news, doesn't mean you've heard the whole story.\n\nThe majority of sexual assaults go UNreported. If this guy is guilty, why shouldn't he be in trouble? His status as a sporting hero doesn't put him above the law. In fact, it is this very status that makes me more suspicious of him. There are many in his position who do abuse their power. Sure, the woman stands to gain in this situation because of who he is, but that doesn't mean she's lying.\n\nThe majority of reported sexual assaults are genuine. While there are instances of false allegations, you should think twice before stating that "women take advantage of their sex". SOME women take advantage of their gender - just as SOME men do.

Kobe admitted to having sex with her.  So... Worst case scenario, he raped her and got away with it.  Best case scenario, he cheated on his wife with a hotel maid!\n\nEither way, I don't think too highly of Kobe.  Good to see him get his act together somewhat this season, but he still has a ways to go to repair his reputation.

I just saw the last episode tonight, May 3. Those guys should be locked up for about 10 years for the first offense. They won't stop until they see some severe penalties for it. I'm not sure even the cops and judges really get it, how bad it is. They get slapped on the wrist.

From an article I read, it said that his contract with the show wasn't renewed. But there was some kind of screw up that his agent made and his agent has since been fired and is now being sued by Vance.\n\nThere was an article on cnn.com but I went to go click it to double check it was still working before I posted it but the article is no longer up.

I love that show!! Yes, it is a crime but Jerry was lucky that the girl had a soft spot for him and didn't press charges.\nHe never got caught for the stolen marble rye either! That was a funny one also.I wish that Seinfeld never ended.

Albert Grant, Roman's son, was the one pretending to have the seizure. I think he is gay, but can't face it. He was farther that night than he probably ever had in picking up the guy up and all. But, he could not go thru with the acutal act, so he faked the seizure instead of hurting the guy's feelings. Basically, Albert is an idiot!!

yes i watched that show last night and they all seem like a bunch of sex fanatics....I mean they had just met and that guy had already hooked up with two of his house mates. Coley is crazy as well...a little bit on the hoey side if you ask me.

No.  The whole thing was faked to make it seem like it was, but everything was actually staged....not a true story.

if the person who was forced to bend over did not consent, and felt threatened, then it was definitely assault.\n\neven if it didn't fit the definition of sexual assault, it certainly fits the definition of simple assault.

I'm not sure, but he was accused of raping a woman.  Maybe that should upset you more.

I can't believe that everybody is lying to you. Of course he's gay, he admitted it in an interview with Hustler. I also seen him once on an episode of Will and Grace, and what he was doing was pretty gay. He was sure loving him some boy bunny.

I was sexually assaulted after my shift was over at a restaurant, by the owner, who was drunk.  A lot went on. I went to the police and reported it, and brought my clothes that I had worn that night.  It was a 3 hour humiliation session.  I was on tape and also written report.  The guy was brought in for questioning, denied everything and basically called me a liar.  The burden of proof was on me.  Since he hired a lawyer quickly, a pal of his who was a former mayor, I had no choice but to drop the case. Unfortunately, I think a lot of women do this. I couldn't put my kids and parents and husband through a long painful trial, and having no real evidence except my testimony.  What goes around comes around, I guess, and he'll get his one of these days.

It was very amusing. In fact it made me laugh my a$$ off. Remember though, for all his theatrics he did not bump, touch, or physically make contact with an umpire. Nor did he throw anything at an umpire. It was really more show than harmful. \n\nBasically he performed a montage of Managers anger at umpires greatest hits incorporating scenes from past arguments from experts like Lou Pinella, Billy Martin, and Larry Bowa... \n\nHe probaqbly doesn't even deserve his one week suspension, but because of the widespread play of it, they had very little choice.\n\nIMHO his comments after the game about how terrible the umpires are was a worse crime than his heat of the moment theatrics on the field.

I'm not sure if the show is fake, but that one guy that's crying all the time is fake.  That's his way to get other people to vote for him.

Mike might be weird but no he didn't rape the boys.  If anything their parents should be in jail.  Who lets a boy or girl sleep in the bed of a grown man.  They were looking for him to be unguarded and they were using him for money anyway.\n\nAll those who believe he raped those kids are stupid.  Look at the whole picture.  He has helped many people.  Plus he was charged before.  He paid the people off and they went away forever.\n\n\nThere will always scheamers that prayer on those who unexpecting.\n\nThere is a reason he was found not guilt.  BECUASE HE DIDN"T DO IT.
