WTMJ 620 in Milwaukee reports that Packers cornerback Brandon Underwood won’t face sexual assault charges, although he could wind up facing charges of solicitation of prostitution (fancy term for, “he tried to pick up a hooker”).
Here are the details to this doozy:
Underwood met the two women at Chubby’s, a gentleman’s club outside of the Lake Delton area. Underwood solicited one or both of the women to return to his room. While an encounter between Underwood and one of the women was taking place, the other woman in question attempted to rob the Packers player. Once she was discovered, the two women were thrown out of the condo. That’s when the two women called police and reported the assault. The two women in question were seen laughing and “carrying on” after wards by witnesses.
According to the article, the other six Packer players who were named by the Lake Delton Police Department were not involved in the situation outside of being nearby at the time of the incident. The two women were also known prostitutes in the Milwaukee area.
This is the exact reason why it’s important that the media not jump to conclusions when a story like this breaks. While it would be a stretch to call Underwood a victim, it’s clear that he’s only guilty of having a lack in judgment. Some of his coaches have commented that he has been immature in the past, so maybe he’ll use this incident as a learning experience before he gets into any real trouble.
What a fiasco.
