Penn State's Scott charged with rape

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Suspended Penn State running back Austin Scott has been charged with raping a woman at his on-campus apartment after meeting her at a bar.

Scott, 22, was arraigned Friday on charges of rape, sexual assault and two counts of aggravated indecent assault, all felonies, in connection with the Oct. 5 encounter.

Scott declined to comment as he left the courtroom Friday.

"The interaction he had with the woman involved was consensual, and we anticipate we will be able to prove that in court," his lawyer, Joseph Amendola, said. "Very optimistic. We're looking forward to the opportunity of establishing his innocence."

Authorities said the encounter occurred in the early morning hours of Oct. 5. Coach Joe Paterno suspended Scott later that day, saying the tailback had violated an unspecified team rule.

Scott remains enrolled at Penn State.

"As with the case with any sexual assault, we consider it a matter adjudicated by the court, and we can't get into details at this point," university spokeswoman Lisa Powers said.

You had a chance to respond to this when thomps posted it in the police blotter thread an hour earlier.

Or when he also posted it in the 'Sky falling in Happy Valley?" thread.

He should have gotten a hooker instead.

Damn kids.

Sigh......Thanks for making our HS proud, Austin. I can't believe a kid this talented in HS has fallen to rock bottom. This kid was unreal in HS, 4K yards and 55 or so TD his senior year and all the promise in the world. Well done, Austin, well done.

Same here. Does 'preview post' do spelling and grammar checks?

if "preview post" did grammar checks, jeffcat's posts would have been one long red line.
