Two Women Accused Derrius Guice Of Rape While At LSU, Which The School Did Not Investigate

I want to make one thing clear off the bat- this is not women coming forward now, they came forward in 2016, and the USA Today reporters have been working on this story since January. I hated reading replies like "real convenient timing" and shit like that.

I would suggest everyone read the USA Today article. They did a thorough job with it. Here is the lede:

Two former Louisiana State University students say recently released Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice raped them just months apart in 2016, when Guice was a rising star freshman on the LSU football team.

A USA TODAY investigation found that the women’s allegations were shared at the time with multiple people at the school — including at least two coaches, an athletics administrator and a nurse — yet the school does not appear to have investigated.

There's a lot of details in the article, including who knew in the athletic department

The nurse’s response reaffirmed to the woman that, even if she made a complaint to LSU, nothing would come of it. 

“He’s like a god around here,” the woman recalled the nurse, an LSU employee, saying. “It probably would get pushed under the rug.”

The woman’s boyfriend at the time, an LSU football recruit, wasn’t at the party. But he said the woman told him afterward about both the alleged assault and her conversation with the nurse. His description matched that of the woman’s.

The former boyfriend redshirted his freshman year and said he steered clear of Guice because “I probably would have lost my (expletive) on him.” But he said LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron brought up the subject of his then-girlfriend and Guice about a year after the alleged assault, telling the athlete that he shouldn’t be bothered by it. 

“(Orgeron) said, ‘Everybody’s girlfriend sleeps with other people,’” the former player told USA TODAY.

Both women who Guice allegedly raped ended up in rehab after using drugs for trying to cope with being attacked. The whole thing is terrible. 

And then the fact Guice was arrested August 7th for domestic violence, including strangulation…it's just…I'm out of words to say about this guy. 

Honestly, I don't know what else to type. I would recommend reading the USA Today article.
