Georgia Tech football player Jerrard Tarrant admitted to police he performed oral sex on the woman he is accused of raping, a police report says, but he said the oral sex was consensual and they never had intercourse. Tarrant and the alleged victim had met at a party the night of April 24 and went to his on-campus dorm room, where the incident occurred sometime after 1:30 a.m. Dominique Reese, one of Tarrant's teammates, told police the woman victim was happy when she left the party but was upset when she returned. Two of the woman's friends told police she was so upset when she returned to the party that she soon left again and hid behind a staircase. When they found her, they told police, she started crying and said, "He raped me."

man wonder what he did wrong?

NOt saying this kid is guilty but I'm waiting for the day when someone pleads insanity: "I'm just crazy about that young filly......"

maybe he got down to business and something was wrong downstairs.....

Who knows who to believe on this one. But basically, if you're a Division I athlete at a high-profile school in football or men's basketball the wisest thing you can do is stay in your apartment, watch movies, drink milk, and do your homework. Otherwise you're under the microscope and stories like this one pop up.

He's gotta learn the reverse swirl technique. Gets 'em everytime. Why was he doing all the work anyway??

Wow, most rapists don't have the decency to at least get the engine started with oral before penetration. Seems to me like this may have been consentual and then regretted.

In all seriousness, this is a heinous crime. If Jerrard Tarrant didn't do it, I hope he dedicates his life to finding the real culprit.

thats why i think he must have messed up really bad...

My thinking is that the guy might be guilty. I only say this because, other than Juliette Lewis in the movie Natural Born Killers, I have NEVER heard of a woman complaining about a guy performing oral on her. Most women seem to appreciate a guy who's even willing to TRY.

Was the woman treated for a potential rape at any hospital? I am not an expert but I think it can be determined pretty easily by the condtion of her privates whether there was any "forced" intervention. Does anyone know...?

Lies. No man goes down on a woman and then calls it a day. No man.

Haven't these guys read this same story before? These players have to protect themselves, double date, have witnesses, or take a page from the Patriots and videotape your excursion!

That may be the most accurate statement ever posted on Fan Nation.

Let me get this straight. You leave the party, get raped, and then go back to the same party? Where do you find people like this?

July 2, 2008  09:29 PM ET

Miyagi, you took the words right outta my mouth(no pun intended)...how you gonna get raped, then go back to the party? Why didn't she report it from her cell phone?
