Re: Trouble in Vermillion
According to the Argus, this is a new warrant and charge, unrelated to the October charges. That's what the police chief was quoted as saying anyways.
I know innocent until proven guilty, etc......But a potential repeat offender??????
What a mess.
Something tells me this will not be the last incident of this nature in Bob Nielsen's tenure down there.

Re: Trouble in Vermillion
KELO TV reporting this morning (11/24/17) that Dale Williamson Jr, one of the two USD football players arrested in October, is back in jail after being arrested the other day. KELO reports It could not be determined if the new charge is related to the original incident from October. Williamson had been charged in the October incident with attempted second degree rape. Link to KELO report:

(Anyone else finding it curious that more outrage has been expressed by some USD supporters about Coach Eck stating his support of TC for MVP than about the arrests? Maybe apples and oranges but still curious.)

Expanding the tread drift even more, is Streveler expected to be back or is he going to miss some time?

It is a horrible crime and the way that it was handled by USD should be the guide for any program. If, through a court of law, these men* are found guilty I hope that the book is thrown at them. What they allegedly did could very well effect that woman for her entire life.
*IMO anyone that does this is not a man and is barely a person

Or for a more on point analogy, the fall out in Dinkytown, where players were meted out serious punishments, some permanently expelled, where the evidence of the actors' states of mind during the act showed it to be nothing more than a consensual, albeit disgusting, act, but consensual none the less. There accuser and female participant, presumably, went without ramification.
I pray that for the accused and accuser each that justice is served in such a challenging environment.
That said, some of the details have come out and it doesn’t look very good.

Re: Trouble in Vermillion
Here's a link to the story in The Volante, the USD student newspaper:
http://volanteonline.com/2017/10/bre...exual-assault/
Side note: The Volante article includes a comment from Tena Haraldson, USD's director of communications and vice president of marketing, enrollment & university relations. Tena was the long-time head of the Associated Press in South Dakota and is a 1976 SDSU Journalism grad--very good hire by USD about three years ago. It's stories like this one that make the director of communications job difficult but she'll handle it as well as it can be handled.
