DEL.ICIO.USTarrant’s accuser did allege intercourse took place
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
E-mails I have received and comments I have seen posted on other Web sites make it clear that my article posted Tuesday evening about the rape allegations against Georgia Tech football player Jerrard Tarrant left people with an incomplete idea of what the woman said happened that night. I thought the rape charge and her friends’ statements that she said, “I was raped,” made it clear that she alleged intercourse had taken place, and I omitted a specific description of that allegation. Here is a small part of that description:
“As [the forced intercourse occurred], I continuously asked him to please stop. He eventually did stop. He did not put on a condom. He asked me, ‘Why are you running from me?’ as I pushed my hips away from him. I tried to push him off of me but he was stronger than me.”
Tarrant denied to police that intercourse took place, and two of his teammates told police he told them there had been oral sex but no intercourse. There was no male DNA found in the rape kit and no semen found on the woman’s panties, according to two GBI reports. A doctor’s examination found vaginal bruising.
