If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Women have no business participating in sports of any kind. This story is one of the many reasons why.
If she wasn't looking for it like a little tramp, she wouldn't have to worry about this kind of problem.
What I don't understand is why her father expects payment when no rape occurred. That is very much against what the Word of God teaches us.
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. -- Deuteronomy 22:28-29
God is very clear on this point. since no man hath lay with her, then no shekels are to change hands. Case dismissed by Judge Jesus!
Girl Dismissed From Lifting Class Sues
Tennessee Girl Dismissed From H.S. Weightlifting Class Over Rape Fears Sues
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Nov 18, 2006 (AP)— An Anderson County teenager has filed a lawsuit over her temporary dismissal from a weightlifting class by a principal who feared male students might try to rape her.
Anderson County High School has asked a federal magistrate to dismiss the $1 million sex discrimination suit by student Ambrea Phillips and her father.
"There's no dispute she was removed," school attorney Arthur F. Knight said at a hearing Thursday. He contended Phillips was reinstated within days and suffered "no academic detriment whatsoever."
Phillips' attorney, Roger L. Ridenour, said stress from the incident caused the student to become physically ill. He said the handling of the situation by then-principal Bob McCracken is part of a pattern of mishandled sex issues at the high school.
McCracken said in a deposition that he was afraid Phillips might be sexually assaulted in the class.
"Having a female with 35 or so male students in an isolated area from the school, it sets a very liable situation in my opinion," McCracken said in the deposition.
"She is up there with a bunch of football players, a 24- to 25-year-old coach, the only girl there is a safety issue there. It was a hard call for the principal to make," Knight answered.
