At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?
@rajmuker He’s Ghey AF… she would have been knocked up multiple times had it been me or any other heterosexual male who is attracted to beautiful women
One month ago a White woman was brutally beaten, punched in the head, and dragged by her hair in the middle of the street by multiple Black women.
Not a single media outlet covered this.
Not one.
...but 2 White girls make monkey gestures and it's the #1 story today.
@Sntetelba@OriadeofIbadan1@ShellyCuel78160@PeteHegseth@Deancain@POTUS I hate foreign influence on my country AMERICA. I hate putting foreign interests before our own country’s. Once you figure out who is responsible for and funded both sides of every single major war then you will understand.
Today, my team exposed a deeply disturbing story involving TPUSA.
We’ve reached out. We’ve asked for answers. We’ve given them every opportunity to respond.
Nothing. Silence.
They have a lot to say about everyone else. Funny how quiet they get when they’re the ones being held accountable.
This video allegedly proves that the adult leaders at TPUSA, not just the chapters of the college, are pedophiles and assaulting and abusing underage girls AND BOYS and using drugs and alcohol, allegedly.
She’s a baby… 😳
Hey @MrsErikaKirk seriously… WTF?
You knew this happened in October, and as a woman… YOU HAD NO STATEMENT?
Hey @FoxNews WTF? You going to report Or demonize this clearly innocent victim…
Hot sauce & widows… 🤮
So sick of this series…
‼️Turning Point USA Faces Explosive Allegations of Sexual Assault, Underage Drinking, and Cover-Up at Chapter Leadership Summit😱
Video evidence from Turning Point USA’s Chapter Leadership Summit this year shows a female attendee held down on a bed by multiple male chapter members, one of whom is heard stating that she is “for the whole team.” Separate footage captures a male member striking a female member, an underage attendee drinking alcohol while declaring that the act is “for Charlie,” and a room of underage participants consuming alcohol.
Turning Point USA General Counsel Frank Carni is recorded entering a room where underage attendees were consuming alcohol. He does not stop the drinking. He instructs the group only to lower their volume because they are too loud. Underage drinking is a crime. Turning Point USA’s published event materials state that accepted student attendees ages 16 to 26, including minors ages 16 and 17, may receive highly subsidized lodging and should plan to share rooms abd well as beds with other attendees of similar age (complete strangers). These materials make clear that Turning Point USA and its general counsel either knew or should have known that underage participants could be present at the event.
Posts containing the assault footage were uploaded to the Rutgers University Turning Point USA Instagram account and then deleted. The female victim was suject to a pressure campaign by the males involved, as well as Turning Point staff as damage control in an effort to cover up the incident. When that failed, the organization subsequently issued cease-and-desist letters, described as ChatGPT-generated, to the woman and others involved. The woman assaulted has filed a police report.
The organization assigns staff contacts and enforces a 10 p.m. curfew for minors in TPUSA-provided lodging, but the documents do not require parental supervision in the shared rooms. There is going to be serious fallout for this one, especially since Turning Point's general council Frank Carni is on camera seemingly complicit in a crime. We will interview the victim tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern so be sure to follow us for updates and return tonight for that explosive interview.
@ShellyCuel78160@PeteHegseth@Deancain@POTUS So you’re saying you support your own son, your flesh & blood eventually going overseas and fighting and possibly dying for a foreign country’s greed and power grab?
There is no left.
There is no right.
Trump was never about MAGA.
There is ONE PARTY.
Trump was ushered in to distract you and make you feel you had a choice.
Everything the uniparty wanted to accomplish has now come to pass and we fell for it.
Mission accomplished.
