Nick Young is innocent until proven guilty. However, the details of the women bleeding sure do damn him in the court of public opinion. Social media being what it is he is already taking a beating worldwide. Nick could lose his shirt in legal fees and if a judgment goes against him. The charges sound like he is responsible and will lose big in court. His legal team is probably going to have to try and attack the character of his accuser and also discredit any date rape drug allegations. They are going to have to say it was consensual. OR that guy better settle because this is a money grab the woman is probably going to win.
No telling how this affects Nick Young's free agency but it sure cannot help.
If she tested positive for the drug she supposedly was given at the time she went to the rape treatment center, coupled with the other physical evidence and the eyewitness testimony of the friend, that starts to look pretty damning. Still, I wonder why this is the first we've heard about it, as if the police were not informed, or maybe they investigated and found the charges weak or baseless. Also wonder about specific date of event, and whether word of it reached Wizards front office and had anything to do with Young being traded.
