Extortion Is Easier than Being a Groupie

Let me summarize this story for you the best I can. Rick Pitino had sex with a woman while Pitino was drunk in a restaurant in Louisville. Yes, IN the restaurant. There is a witness. She claimed to be pregnant two short weeks later (which I'm fairly certain is impossible). Pitino gave her $3000 for an abortion (which I'm fairly certain is at least three times more than one costs). She then married Pitino's strength coach while trying to extort cars, college money for her kids (!?!) and $10M from his boss. The FBI caught on. She cried rape. The Louisville DA declined to press the charges citing the prosecutorial discretion to ignore obvious bullshit.

The accuser/Federal defendant and lucky groom.

This is getting ridiculous. What ever happened to the good old days when a groupie would carry Shawn Kemp's Travis Henry's the father's child to term and THEN extort child support from him? Rape is a serious crime and I try not to base any judgments based on pieces of news reports, but between Pitino and Roethlisberger, this is getting ridiculous.


On the plus side, at least no one got shot this time.
