We were going to let this rape story go quietly into the night. Or at least quietly into the daily Odds and Ends entry. But it seems that there might be more to this story than was originally reported.
According to newspaper reports, a female friend of Patrick Kerney’s went to a party and invited some guys back to Kerney’s place for a night cap. She then fell asleep on the sofa and woke up in the bedroom where the suspect was having sex with her. She then escaped by telling the suspect that she was going to get a friend to join in and escaped through the bathroom window. (Ahhh, the old promise of the threesome foils the rapist story.) Kerney said that he has been informed of the assault but was asleep at the time and the victim said that Kerney was not involved.
Seems like a pretty cut and dried story right? Girl invites the wrong guys back to her place and someone slips her a roofie and rapes her. Well, we’ll let the big lead do the rumor mongering.
Our Georgia tipster says that Atlanta radio is buzzing with rumors and innuendo. “The Lodge, where the party started, was the big happening with [Kerney’s] former teammates. Then the afterparty went to his house. Word is the suspect was african american and a former player.” We’ll keep the updates coming as we get them.
Yikes, more bad news for the NFL. With Pacman Jones and the Bengals already blazing up the arrest charts, the last thing Roger Goodell needs is another black eye. By the way, “african american and a former player”? That rules out Morton Anderson.

One reply on “Is there more to the Patrick Kerney rape story?”
Pacman Jones — Definitely did this. Then he shot her in the foot with a pistol.
