BOL Round Table

The allegations are bad and I will be extremely disappointed if true, but I think Rolando (or anyone in that situation) deserves the benefit of doubt. I haven't read all the info and may have missed something (corroborating witnesses, witnesses besides alleged victim, etc.), but I wouldn't convict him based on one side of the story. That's just me though...

Of course there's a chance he was falsely accused. Rolando's story denies most or all of the allegations of the accuser.

From what I've read about Rolando's side of the story, just reading between the lines, Ro may have made some sort of poor decision, but he flat out denies some of the worst allegations made against him by the accuser.

The point here is not that I know whose side of the story is true, but that as more information comes out there is more uncertainty about what the facts are. I'm not declaring Ro innocent, but I can't believe our own fans are presuming him guilty based soley on accusations, without so much as letting Ro give his side of the story and letting investigators try to sort out the truth of what happened.

I'm very disappointed in the reactions of so many posters on this board who absolutely trashed him a few days ago, when the only information we had were the allegations made by the accuser. Anyone who tried to stand up for Ro was likened to someone standing up for Sandusky (a very poor analogy, since Sandusky has been indicted by a grand jury after a careful review of all kinds of evidence) or some crap.
