According to the Denver police, former NC State star and current Denver Nuggets rookie Julius Hodge is being investigated for attempted sexual assault. Not good, Jules.
Now, normally I’m on the side of the women in these cases. I know that there are instances of women making the stories up, but I also know guys. Guys are pigs. Particularly young, rich athletes. They get so many women throwing themselves at them that they can forget that not all women are like that.
But this case is mighty fishy. First off, the woman is 37. 37! I’m a little suspicious that Hodge would be macking on a woman that old. Second, the police have yet to charge him, yet she’s already talking to the media about it. It seems that most victims are a bit more bashful.
Since the incident seems to have happened in his apartment and since they are claiming only “attempted” assault, I don’t see how they could possibly make this stick. I doubt he’ll ever actually be charged. It’s purely a he said-she said situation and when you have 37-year-old women bringing accusations against young, naive millionaires and then immediately talking to the media about it … well, it’s more than a little fishy.
Maybe Hodge doesn’t need to wear just a cup. Perhaps he needs a codpiece as well.
