Was there a police report ever filed anywhere? If a crime is committed don't you contact the police at some point? Is Walter free right now? I don't understand. If we lived in a perfect world and had a perfect court system, that would seem the logical thing to do, but we are far from that. Also, when a victim goes to police, they can’t remain anonymous. As cruel as a lot of people can be, I can understand why they wouldn’t want that. The victim hired the attorney to get others to come forward and hopefully not let this happen to anyone else. This was not consensual.

If there is an assault you need to contact the authorities. If you don't you are letting a predator walk the streets. If it wasn't consensual Walter should be arrested immediately.

Yes, you’re right....but unfortunately it’s not that easy. Especially when the perpetrator has a lot of “star power”. WM also has already tried to coerce many others during the Title IX investigation. That’s fact. That info was released to the media from UE. Scary for a student with absolutely no power.

Three hours have gone by, and no one has commented about this. We now know for sure what allegedly happened, and to whom. Do we not care any more? Is this matter put to rest never to be spoken about again? I doubt it. Now that the woman has hired a lawyer, it would appear that we are just getting started on the second phase of this mess. Unless they come to an out of court settlement, it's going to go to court, and then it will be the story for some time to come. Seems a bit bizarre to say we don't care. It stopped being a basketball issue and started becoming a courts issue. That in and of itself means it ought to be handled elsewhere, unless you are one of the lawyers involved. I might suggest that you air this problem elsewhere if you are one of the lawyers involved. This stopped being a basketball issue when McCarty was fired.

This is going to be painful and expensive for the university, regardless of the outcome, and it's already cost a bunch. Prez P has done the right thing by firing McCarty. Just as in a corporate situation, internal documentation will be key. If Spencer, or whoever counselled Walter has a file that clearly documented the warnings and education he received, we MIGHT get away with some sort of settlement, but if that happens, we will probably never know the end result.
If Spencer was handling Walt with kid gloves and did everything verbally, we may be very exposed. If he had the paper trail in order, who knows.....

I suspected something of this nature was forthcoming. I think if this was an assault the police would/should have been contacted. No one can prevent that from happening. At this point, noting about WM will surprise me. I just hope true justice is served and point the blame at the right direction.

There are many that have stated that, irrespective of McCarty's firing, the UE basketball program is in better shape now than before his hire. I think that view is very premature. If these lawsuits go badly, we could be in far, far worse financial shape than before.

Was it consensual or rape? If she agreed to it then that's on her. UE did what they thought was the right thing to do and the female needs to pick herself up and move on. Take it up with McCarty. I hope you aren't insinuating what I think you are. Sexual assault is never consensual. It's literally the definition of it. You're saying since he's not actively assaulting her right now she just needs to deal with it and move on? I feel gross for you.

I think that everyone would be shocked at who this student is, I know I was and I wish I would’ve stood up and said how inappropriate he was when I saw him out and about town. She is well respected at UE and throughout the community. She has a lot of integrity and her life has been turned upside down since this happened to her. She TRUSTED Walter. This was absolutely not consensual. I know that if this were my daughter, I wouldn’t be able to stay quiet. They are all struggling with this and need our support.

Perhaps this has already been mentioned but have there been steps taken by the university to prohibit McCarty from setting foot on campus? Restraining order, etc.?

Not sure, but I think the Title IX investigation keeps him from doing that. I know he wasn’t supposed to be in contact with anyone on campus, although he broke that when he tried coercing a few before he was fired.
