Duke Duke and M...

Fact Checker here. Let's get some more juice on this cop:

After executing a search warrant, police in Dothan, Alabama found:

-- two pair of handcuffs (Hey Chief Dailey, inventory your supply!). This apparently is in addition to the pair found on the rape victim's wrists.

-- a ball gag (if you don't know what this is, ask your friend). This apparently is in addition to one in the rape victim's mouth.

-- a thick white rope

-- a power source that has not been identified with wires attached to a nail

-- a whip and flog (if you don't know the difference, ask the same friend)

-- what seems to be medical tubing.

The Duke police officer is a suspect in other, similar attacks on women, according to local authorities making the arrest.

The cop had been visiting Alabama on his days off from Duke. The suspect had his Duke police uniform, his service revolver and his handcuffs with him at the time of his arrest (which apparently was in a motel room). There is no specific word about his Duke badge, whether that counts as part of the uniform.

The woman allegedly attacked woke up tied up -- with a ball gag in her mouth. “I would definitely characterize it as a bondage rape,” said a spokesman for the local sheriff. “This is definitely more unusual than what we usually see.”

Oh yes, Fact Checker has learned DUKE HAS SUSPENDED THE OFFICER WITH PAY. Previously he was a Master Officer with the Raleigh Police Department, apparently taking that title Master seriously!

Coach Pressler was summarily fired for an offense of which he himself was not accused at an event at which he was not in attendance simply because he was presumed to have 24/7 supervisory authority over the individuals who were accused. What about it Dick Brodhead? Seems to me you need to fire the Chief of the Duke PD for not knowing what one of his officers was up to in his spare time. If he didn't do what he was accused of, whatever he did was bad enough. Surely handcuffing and gagging people, even if they volunteer for it, trumps hiring a stripper and a little undergraduate drinking?

Wanna hear from Moneta. After all, wasn't he the one who said stripper shows at Duke were art? Does anyone think that the administration less than normal attitude toward sex and woman on campus could be a problem? Did this cop see Duke as a place where he would be safe because of that attitude? Is that why he applied to Duke for employment? After all, was Lombard ever fired and did he lose any pay until someone most likely found some bad kid pics on the duke computers? This cop is still getting paid also isn't he? Shoot, I would love a job at a place where not much will happen to me if I had all those arty porn toys in the truck of my car. All this great publicity while broidhead is sitting around trying to regain universal prestige for his own legacy.

toilet <==== Dukes reputation

the truth

Farmer I don't really follow how this is a sign that our reputation is going into the toilet. A certain percentage of the population is sexually abnormal. We happened to have the misfortune of two of these characters in recent history. It was obviously outside of our control and if we knew about it we would have done something.
