From that website. I think I'll wait until an actual news service picks up.

Dare I say, it is Timbers Army-level writing at best.

I'm not believing it until its confirmed by an official source. Just thought I'd put it out there. I think this story carries the same or less weight than Freddy's. I just hope we don't see Nate slump like Freddy did just when he's heating up.

Ive also never known a "news" story to go into such details as to what did or did not happen. Personally I think this is TA pissed we took over their house, roger scored, and we won on their crappy turf.

I mean let's give the 5th graders a little respect here. Secondly I have a feeling the only thing Jaqua abused was the Rapids back line...am I right or am I right? I guess we'll see though.

You can read the complaint in pdf form using the link on the news service bulletin. It's interesting to me that this is a civil complaint and not a criminal investigation. If I had to guess, there probably was a criminal investigation closer to the time of the alleged assault, but it obviously didn't amount to charges being filed. Also of note - the suit actually seeks to hold both Jaqua and MLS liable under a theory of vicarious liability. The plaintiff is seeking $5 million in damages from both. This is a pretty dubious legal claim IMHO; employers are only vicariously liable when the employee was acting within the scope of employment. There's very little indication that he was in Eugene at the direction of MLS in the complaint. Additionally, the plaintiff would have to prove that Jaqua walking the girl home was only a minor and reasonable deviation from his assigned task. So, at any rate, I don't see MLS being liable for anything. But I expect they will "lawyer up" and send some big money attorneys on their behalf.

I hope Nate fights this and doesn't give into the "settlement" payment this dirtbag lawyer has ready to cash in on.

Even if they could i doubt a Judge would award 10m dollars. Jul 2, 2009, 10:31am, jessemt wrote: We can't really discount the 'news service' here because a civil complaint was filed.

Jaqua's originally from Eugene Oregon. « Last Edit: Jul 2, 2009, 11:21am by gstommylee » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged elliottday Seattle Soccer Star member is offline Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 75 Re: Jaqua accused of sexual assault « Reply #13 on Jul 2, 2009, 12:35pm » Again, people, it's good to be supportive of your team, and we all hope (or assume) this isn't true. But the best response is silence. Back with the Montero stuff, much of what got said was in really bad taste, Montero's innocence notwithstanding. Let's please just leave this one alone...
