Sources report the accuser had a shit-colored moustache when the cops arrived.

Ouch
I hate to say it, but I am glad the spotlight is now firmly off of us...

Not to be insensitive, but there's no doubt in my mind Mark gave her the Dirty Sanchez.

I was thinking more along the lines of Missionary Viejo

Thomps, any details on the nature of the assault? We looking at rape or unwanted contact?

USC board is saying Brian Cushing is also in some trouble.

 

[OSUsushichic]

oh dear.

 

[methomps]

No, but I don't see the LAPD taking you from your apartment in cuffs if you allegedly just copped a feel

 

[jwinslow]

what is the deal with cushing? I saw some rumors of some sort of vandalism to an ex-gf's car?

 

[Taosman]

Something is VERY WRONG in Troy! :(

"He will be a redshirt freshman this coming season."

That's better than an orange jumpsuited freshman

It's when the second issue is discovered that all hell breaks loose.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California backup quarterback Mark Sanchez was arrested after a female student reported that he sexually assaulted her earlier Wednesday, police said.

Sanchez, 19, was arrested around 4 p.m. at an apartment complex near campus and was being booked for investigation of sexual assault, police Officer Jason Lee said. Bail was set at $200,000.

No other details were immediately available.

USC officials said they will temporarily suspend Sanchez while police conduct their investigation.


"The university takes charges of sexual assault seriously," Michael Jackson, USC vice president of student affairs, said in a statement. "Depending on the facts as established by the LAPD, we will determine the appropriate action."

USC coach Pete Carroll said he was aware of Sanchez's arrest and that the Trojans football program would cooperate with police and "follow along with whatever action the university takes."

Sanchez is listed on the Trojans' depth chart as the backup to John David Booty, but was expected to battle for the starting job this fall. Booty practiced only once this spring before he injured his back and had to undergo surgery.

Sanchez, a redshirt freshman, played the recent spring scrimmage and has been practicing with the first unit.

His arrest was the latest of several brushes with the law for USC players, dating back to last year.

Cornerback Eric Wright was arrested in March 2005 at a campus apartment by officers investigating reports of an assault. The Los Angeles district attorney's office declined to press criminal charges against Wright because of insufficient evidence.

Wright left USC amid possible disciplinary action by the school and transferred to UNLV.

Linebacker Rey Maualuga was arrested Nov. 1 for allegedly punching a man at an off-campus party, but no criminal charges were filed. He sat out the first half of the game against Stanford the following weekend as punishment.
