Jets' Rhodes Questioned About Alleged Rape At His Home

2009_05_kerry1.jpg Jets officials are closely monitoring allegations that a woman was raped in the home of their safety, Kerry Rhodes. According to the Post, a Canadian tourist reported to the NYPD that she and a friend met Rhodes and another man at a Manhattan nightclub Friday night. The woman and her friend ended up leaving with them and going to his Morristown, NJ town house, where she said she was raped. NYPD brought the woman to Morristown police, who would only comment that there is "an ongoing investigation." After being questioned by cops, Rhodes, whose nickname is Hollywood, released a statement saying, "I briefly talked with police on Saturday regarding an incident that allegedly took place at my home. The police confirmed to me that I am not the subject of this allegation." The Post also adds that Rhodes "starred in an independent film about relationship dilemmas called Misunderstandings, in which he had a steamy hot-tub scene" and that the Jets are "gathering information" about the situation.

Firstly, what did she expect of the evening when she went back to his house, a schlep from Manhattan to Morristown? I am not blaming the victim, but she should be smarter than to party and then travel far away and enter a stranger's home late at night.

That said, if he did do something (and I am not saying he did, let the court work it out), then he needs to go away for a long time.

She's a Canadian tourist not from Manhattan so that goes your theory.
