Well the police report was only just filed, and only against Slater. It's unlikely but possible that no one who wasn't there knew what happened.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to employ our rapist QB for nearly 5 years after raping two people because he can throw football good while looking like a rapist caveman. We live a hosed up world where this poo poo can happen.

This is why I'm very careful to not like any wrestlers. They all come out as rapists or murderers in the end.

She reported it to her supervisor the day after, and filed a police report 3 months after the incident happened. The warrant wasn't issued until today.

It's not so much that we're super excited for the opportunities to poo poo on them, but more that they just keep on presenting them to us on a near-daily basis. :v:

Yes exactly. The lovely ones here, based on the information we have, are Slater and the security company who dragged their feet.

'that sucks for her, but what about the fact that I will never see heath slater job in five seconds ever again? Who is the real victim here!? :qqsay:

Apparently they've been trying to get a warrant issued for 3 years but nobody would do it. The original report was he had some kind of alibi but if he did it in the middle of a room, uh

Given wrestling's rich history of people who are socially maladjusted and prone to fits of drug/alcohol-induced sexual violence, I think it's understandable if some people aren't willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at times v:shobon:v

How come this type of poo poo only comes up for sexual assault and related stuff? Like, if Slater was accused of stabbing someone or stealing from them I don't think I'd see this loving stupid post.

In reverse order:

1. Bad PR/not wanting to incur potential legal costs/WWE (or the hotel or whoever) is a lucrative client

2. Probably afraid she'd lose her job
