What is Sexual Assault?
In Wyoming, there are different types of sexual assaults that are defined as crimes.
First degree sexual assault occurs when someone inflicts sexual intrusion on a victim:
by using physical force or confinement to cause submission;
by using threats of death, serious physical injury or kidnapping of any person and the victim believes it is possible for the perpetrator to carry out the threats;
when the victim is physically helpless, and the perpetrator knows or reasonably should know that the victim is physically helpless and that the victim has not consented; or
when the perpetrator knows or reasonably should know that the victim is not capable of consenting to sexual activity because of a mental illness, mental deficiency or developmental disability.
Second degree sexual assault occurs (if the circumstances do not otherwise constitute first degree sexual assault) when:
The perpetrator makes the victim submit by threatening to retaliate in the future against the victim or the victim's spouse, parents, brothers, sisters or children, and the victim reasonably believes the actor will execute this threat. To retaliate includes threats of kidnapping, death, serious bodily injury or extreme physical pain;
The perpetrator forces the victim to submit by any means that would prevent resistance by a victim of ordinary resolution;
The perpetrator gives the victim or knows that someone else gave the victim, without the prior knowledge or consent of the victim, any substance which substantially impairs the victim's power to appraise or control her conduct;
The perpetrator knows or should reasonably know that the victim submits only because of a mistaken belief that the perpetrator is the victim's spouse;
The perpetrator is in a position of authority over the victim and uses this position of authority to cause the victim to submit;
The perpetrator is an employee of a correctional facility and the victim is a resident of the facility; or
The actor inflicts sexual intrusion in treatment or examination of a victim for purposes or in a manner substantially inconsistent with reasonable medical practices.
Third degree sexual assault occurs when (if the circumstances do not otherwise constitute first or second degree sexual assault) a perpetrator subjects a victim to sexual contact under any of the circumstances listed in the first or second degree sexual assault laws but does not inflict sexual intrusion on the victim and does not cause serious bodily injury.
For more information on sexual assault, please see Wyoming Statute 6-2-304.

How did he not learn from the Ghaifan situation? This is bad bad for Wyoming (starting to look like Baylor).

Not even close. Bohl doesn't put up wit hthis stuff. Like Giafan being sent home right away. NOthing is being swept under the rug or covered up. NOthing like Baylor.
And with Granderson it happened after the season and he isn't enrolled in school. So it is awful but doesn't appear to have much to do with UW>
To be clear, he was CHARGED after the season...TSpoke said:OrediggerPoke said:Wow, wtf!!!!

charges...were filed...this week in Albany County Circuit Court stemming from an off-campus incident that occurred after the season.
Updated article states that the call to Laramie PD came in on November 26. This was 2 days after Wyoming’s final game against New Mexico but before Wyoming learned it wouldn’t be going bowling.WestWYOPoke said:Wyovanian said:To be clear, he was CHARGED after the season...TSpoke said:OrediggerPoke said:Wow, wtf!!!!

McPeachy said:Looks like this may get tossed out via violation of state statute. Hope so.
I should be a little more clear that I don't think Wyo. Stat. 6-2-319 would be a reason to dismiss charges. I'm just concerned whether there was a violation of it.McPeachy said:Looks like this may get tossed out via violation of state statute. Hope so.

"(d) A release of a name or other information to the public in violation of the proscriptions of this section shall not stand as a bar to the prosecution of a defendant nor be grounds for dismissal of any charges against a defendant."
Me thinking out loud...what if the charges against Granderson are ultimately tossed before being bound over to District Court and what if there was a violation of Wyo. Stat. 6-2-319 by a University Employee and what if Granderson still drops like a rock at the NFL draft. Does Granderson have a potential claim for money damages against the individual or the University? Very very interesting questions.
I agree, me too.McPeachy said:OrediggerPoke said:I should be a little more clear that I don't think Wyo. Stat. 6-2-319 would be a reason to dismiss charges.

It may (be a reason to dismiss), but who knows in today's legal world. I have seen stranger. A lot stranger.
OrediggerPoke said:It’s hard to speculate too much until the case is bound over to district court and the alleged facts become public.
But I’m wondering if a combine invite can be rescinded. One thing is for sure is that there is no way Granderson’s attorneys let him speak to any NFL teams (or anyone) about the charges until they are resolved.
