"An amended complaint filed Wednesday stated former Tennessee football player Drae Bowles assisted a woman who said she had been raped by two other players and that later he was attacked by teammates and told by coach Butch Jones he had 'betrayed the team.'". A female who reported a sexual assault, accompanied by one of her friends who also happened to be a football player didn't expect the outcome they received. Though the female suffered the most from this act, her friend who supported and helped her also received some heat from his coach and players. He was beat up by his own teammates for helping report the crime and was told by his coached that he " betrayed" their team.
Later on the Athletic Director, Dave Hart finds out about the situation and surprisingly sides with the football coach and team against the female and former player. The coach claimed that he was only trying to "assists" bowels. The AD also claimed that he has "empathy and sympathy" for any victim of sexual assault and will defend himself against any allegations made against him about his character. The AD claimed that each person is entitled to due process so he's giving them the benefit of the doubt.The staff of the Tennessee sports program really needs to be be evaluated for even considering the fact that these two players didn't sexually assault this female. Also, there was nothing being done about the fact that the third player being beat up for helping the victim.
