Pete Rose and Statutory Rape

[plantmanky]

By a player who they've banned from baseball and consider a disgrace, it has no impact on the game. Keep reaching man. You don't really believe half the stuff you post do you?

 

So 26 years ago they had on the table.

 

Rose bet on baseball, Rose had sex with underage girls. What do we do.

 

Go after him about gambling, dont mention the other.

 

 

You dont think they would sweep the more damaging one under the rug?

So if true, Dowd told no one and let a sexual predator run around for the next 30 years with no intention from keeping it from happening again. If it is true, and Pete Rose has since done it again, wouldn't that open up MLB and Dowd for huge lawsuits.

[plantmanky]

Got to be honest, Rose comes across as kind of a creep/creepy to me, so sleeping with young girls back in the day...yea, I don't have a hard time seeing him do that. 12 yo? Don't know about that, but high school girls under 18, maybe. Doesn't mean he did do it, just not THAT hard for me to believe he might have.

 

However, with that, if Dowd actually had this information, that's the FIRST thing he should have reported 25 years ago. And if it IS true and he didn't report it, that makes him a sleaze too in my mind and there should be some repercussions for withholding that information...again IF true. And IF true, then why didn't he report it? Sounds fishy.

 

If not true, who makes that up, or spreads rumors like that? Either way, he needs to be done.

What if he did tell MLB?

Totally agree. Dowd is wrong any way you slice it by either withholding this info or now making it up.

No. It's one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. It doesn't damage baseball in anyway if it comes out.

 

If he's sleeping with 12 year olds, that shows that he's a despicable human being. His betting on baseball would do more damage to the game than being a perv would.

Why do you think he told them?

 

Other than just trying to sound as completely absurd as possible, what's your point in here?

[mexitucky]

Then he stopped short of a moral duty. He had no fiduciary duty to protect victims, or to help them, but to sit on that and not take it to the proper people... I hope that he burns.

No. It just makes them scumbags.

You are bashing Dowd for not telling someone, what if he did tell MLB, and they told him to hush. Remember this was 1989, things were different back then.

You said MLB, not KGB. He should have done the right thing.

Things weren't that different. Just stop.

 

Why would he tell MLB and not the authorities? If it's true, he's either scum for sitting on it, or he's scum for not telling it to the authorities. If it's not true, he's scum for making up such a disgusting fabrication.

People were fine with raping under age girls in 1989?

MLB would have no reason to keep this hush. Actually, they could further discredit Rose by letting it come out.

Sure, times were different.

He should have told the police. I, like you PM, believe Pete should never get in the HOF. However, I find this one a little hard to believe.
