BOULDER, Colo. -- A prosecutor claims sex parties have been used to lure
football recruits to the University of Colorado and police may have helped
cover up problems that include the alleged rapes of three women.
In testimony given for a civil rights lawsuit against the school, Boulder
County District Attorney Mary Keenan said the athletic department resisted
demands to halt the parties. A campus police officer said one recruit told
him sex was part of "what you get when you come to Colorado."
University officials called a late afternoon news conference to dispute the
claims.
"The accusation is wrong, inaccurate and false," football coach Gary Barnett
said. He and other school officials left without taking questions.
Gov. Bill Owens said he was shocked by the allegations and demanded a public
accounting. He insisted the university take steps to reassure female
students that it will not tolerate a climate of sexual misconduct.
"Women are not recruiting tools," Owens said.
Keenan's and the officer's depositions were released Thursday by the
plaintiff in the lawsuit, one of three women who say they were raped by
recruits or players during or after a 2001 off-campus party.
Keenan said the deposition "speaks for itself" and that she would not
comment further.
The suit was filed by one of the alleged victims, former student Lisa
Simpson, who has agreed to have her name used publicly. She accuses the
football program of fostering an environment in which women routinely suffer
sexual harassment.
In a Sept. 23, 2003, deposition with Simpson's attorney, Barnett said five
or six of the men who were at the December 2001 party told him that Simpson
handed them condoms before they went into a bedroom with four women.
"From that point on, it became group sex," Barnett said in the deposition.
He also said the players told him they put recruits and themselves in "a
very inappropriate situation" involving alcohol and consensual sexual
conduct.
Former Colorado athlete Monique Gillaspie, who said she was raped by two
football players after the 2001 party, praised Owens' stance. She urged
other women who "have fallen prey to CU football program misconduct" to step
forward.
Gillaspie and her parents issued the statement through her lawyer.
Keenan investigated the case, but ended up charging four players with
providing marijuana and alcohol to minors. She has said she decided against
assault charges because the men believed they had been promised sex at the
party, making it difficult to prove rape beyond a reasonable doubt.
In her deposition, Keenan said she met with athletic department officials
after a woman reported being raped during a recruiting function in 1997. She
said she met with officials again after the alleged 2001 attacks, and did
not believe the university was taking her complaints seriously.
In a statement, university spokeswoman Pauline Hale said the school strongly
disputes the claim.
Keenan also said Officer Dan Spicely, who acted as a liaison between the
football program and Boulder police, might have told coaches and players to
meet before the investigation began.
"It gave (coaches and players) a chance to cover it up," Keenan said.
Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner denied the allegation, saying there was no
evidence Spicely interfered with the investigation.
In another deposition, campus police Officer Timothy Delaria described
another 2001 party as "some kind of sex party for the recruits." He said
recruits were shown a pornographic video and told that easy sex was a fringe
benefit of playing at Colorado.
Delaria, discussing a police interview with a football recruit, said the
recruit told officers, "They told us, you know, 'This is what you get when
you come to Colorado.' "

One wonders if this post is itself a recruiting tool for Colorado...

It's been a controversy for years. Even when the daughter of a prominent
Boulder lawyer was raped, and there was no doubt of it,

CU/Boulder was able
to deflect charges and complaints. In fact, he went on the Donahue show some
years ago, and was given about 15 secs. when the information was so contrary
to Phil's position, that they cut to commercial, and no more was heard from
him.

The whole system seems to be to provide whores until they run out, and then
prospective rape victims are used.
Big scandal up there right now.
