Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox could face up to life in prison if convicted of sexual assault charges filed by prosecutors last week.

A portion of the case unsealed by a Douglas County (Colo.) judge Tuesday shows the sexual assault charges are Class 3 and Class 4 felonies, which carry a sentence of between two years to life in prison. They involve a helpless victim.

Other details of the case remain sealed. Cox, who played in the Broncos' loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, is free on $50,000 bail. The former Oklahoma State standout could face a four-game suspension from the NFL next season for violating the league's personal conduct code.

Yikes! "helpless victim"---is that a child? Never heard that term before. Lawyertypes?

[usaosooner]

if guilty i hope he rots...

[MsProudSooner]

The first thing I thought of when I saw 'helpless victim' was someone who had been drugged with the date-rape drug.

:mad: Or maybe someone who was confined to a wheelchair or otherwise unable to defend themselves.

[yermom]

he'll do a couple of years and the Eagles or the Lakers will pick him up ;)

[StoopTroup]

I'd like to hear Al and Traber talk about this.....

[3rdgensooner]

What a waste of talent. That guy is screwed up.

[Dan Thompson]

Is it a rumor that USC is looking at him for a DC position?

[KantoSooner]

nah UF

[unbiasedtruth]

i thought he was going to replace muschump at *

A little more info:


The two felony charges against Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox accuse him of sexually assaulting a helpless victim incapable of appraising her own condition.

The sex assault-victim helpless charge is a class 3 felony. The sex assault-victim incapable of appraising her condition is a class 4 felony.

The charges against Cox will require the state to prove that he had sex with the woman and that she was "physically helpless and the actor knows the victim is physically helpless and the victim has not consented."

A second count will require the state to prove that Cox knew at the time "that the victim is incapable of appraising the nature of the victim's conduct."

[yermom]

one of the links said he had been concussed 4 days earlier and has memory loss. should be an interesting case.

reminds me of this time I rear ended this dude in a truck and I ended up taking a tree out in front of the NPD...I wish it would have been a Subaru I hit

heh

[Sooner_Tuf]

He will just have to the court that up to this point he has lived a good clean life and has always respected authority. If he can show that this is completely out of character for him he should be fine.

[KantoSooner]

if, on the other hand, he used well planned tricks to make a 17 year old runaway take rohypnol and then tied her to an antique French torture wrack, specially purchased for the purpose before having his way....well, then he's done.
We don't know what happened yet. I trust that the police are not just whiling away their time, so it doesn't look good for him.

I was waiting for the Collier reference. You two are so joined at the hip...

[CowboyMRW]

If true he should spend a lot of time in jail. To me though it seems out of character because he was always trying to help his 3 little ones and he wanted to make it big so he could support them

STFU He wanted to make it "big" so he could cop bling, yo. Everybody knows that.

He has THREE kids? Jeebus, someone snip the dude! How old is he?

HE'S A GOOD KID!! DON'T BEDOWNGRADE 'EM!!!![hairGel]

There's not alot of room in the cab of a truck. No wonder you hit the tree.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

The moral of the story here is this.

Don't hypnotize hookers in Colorado.

And now you know!

Money doesn't solve all your problems. I'm guessing he's going to soon find out that not having it anymore will give him plenty of time to think about why.

[mdklatt]

This is surprisingly...detailed. :eek:

Deadfish.

I know money doesn't solve all problems but it is nice to have for 3 kids ranging from 4-8 or something like that growing up in Waco. Everyone knows that PCox had a troubled past but I thought that he had matured in college and had really come into his own. It seems so dumb that these athletes have everything they could want or need and just throw it away.
Let's be real, the guy could get almost any girl in Denver and he chooses to rape a girl? I hope that it was consensual and the girl is just saying that she was a lil tipsy or something.

[VA Sooner]

he'll do a couple of years and the Eagles or the Lakers will pick him up ;)



Ouch! But true....

Why do the poke excuses always sound the same? "Troubled past, 2nd chance, we thought he was okay, it was probably consensual" but they are still ripping on Dusty all these years later. What a raging bunch of hypocrites.

I said hopefully it was consensual not that it probably was.
I've never said a word about Dusty either.

[Piware]

Congratulations Sir. You are a fine exception to the rule.

[CowboyMRW]

Every school has black marks. It's dumb to make fun of one when you have plenty to be talked about in return

He's 23 with an eight year old kid?

What are trying to say about girls in Denver?

Lastly, are you retarded? If you are I will quit picking on you as you are very articulate for a special person.

I don't know the exact ages of the kid. Just guessing since I've seen O'Colly pieces on him talking about making it big so he can send his 3 little ones money and items, and this was when he was a freshman and sophomore here.

Lets be real. There are girls out there that go for professional athletes for the money and prestige. I know you know what I'm talking about. All you have to do is be famous and you can pull a lot of girls. Not just in Denver. Anywhere

No I'm not retarded. Why do you ask?

[Sooner_Tuf]

My apologies Cork.

Denver and Poke DB's aren't a very good mix.

I'm not poking fun at anyone. Just making a point.

Jesus, why would you hope for something like that? You hope some woman has accused a man of rape as a hoax? :eek:

And this thread title is just as bad. "Perrish Cox's NFL Days May be Over"

How 'bout "Cox's Life May Be Over." Maybe even literally. God knows what kind of crap could happen to him in prison.

Man... Something about OSU and the Broncos don't mix lately

For any person I would rather a rape story be made up than the actual rape took place, so ya I do hope this was made up.

You're saying you hope the actual rape took place? Why, because he wore orange on Saturdays?

That's what I was thinking. What's worse, a girl who has consensual sex and then claims rape, or her acctually getting raped? What a dumbass....

[Sooner_Tuf]

I don't know the answer to this. Which one is worse?

Well MRW, rape is not a sexual act, Its a violent crime..It usually has more to do with one taking control over someone than the act itself...Any athlete that does this could have about any woman they want(Roethlisberger)...They just feel like they are in control of everybody and nobody has a right to tell them no.

[Sooner_Tuf]

I think rape is a sex act. Rape without sex is an a$$ kicking. What you have described is the Internal Revenue Service err Internal Raping Service?

[soonerfan69]

If she was drunk on drugs passed out how does she know Cox raped her?

Smells like somebody wants to get paid

Am I the only one troubled that he could face life in prison, but only a 4 game suspension?

[Sooner_Tuf]

Am I the only one troubled that he could face life in prison, but only a 4 game suspension?

I would think Perrish would be somewhat troubled by either potential result.

[soonerchk]

I would think Perrish would be somewhat troubled by either potential result.

Then perhaps next time he should keep his pecker in his pants.

[Sooner_Tuf]

You should call him.

[bluedogok]

Am I the only one troubled that he could face life in prison, but only a 4 game suspension?
Typically the four game suspension is a "standard suspension" for an incident like Ben's, if Cox were to be found guilty I would imagine he would approach PacMan or Vick type of suspension, one where Goodell decides when he feels like letting him back into the league. If found guilty, I would think Cox may be done for season at a minimum after he gets out of jail. If he does go to prison, his career may be over because he would be forgotten about by the time he left prison. It would more than likely be longer than Vick's sentence and Cox has nowhere near the player resume that Vick did.

So I would think 4 games would be the bare minimum even if the case didn't go forward.
