A file photograph of Marco Martin.
Dallas police arrested a former UT football player on a charge of sexually assaulting a six-year-old boy.

Marco Martin was a defense tackle on the Longhorns' championship team last year. He turned himself in Thursday morning.

The alleged assault happened in 1999. Detectives say the victim came forward last year, but officers were unable to track Martin down.

Martin was also part of the Mesquite High School State Championship team in 2001. He wore #48 as a defensive tackle for the team.

Martin's bond is set at $25,000.

pretty sure the statute of limitations is longer than 6 years. And the article says that the victim came forward only a year ago. So yes, theyre bringing it up now

and it says in the article that it was a 6 year old. well done Longhorns

unless he's tried as an adult, he'll serve 3 years max?

i saw some articles earlier and they didnt mention anything about the victim and i skipped thru the article in the original post.

that's pretty nasty **** if true and hope he pays for it.

So you're saying it wouldn't be a problem if it were a girl?

I mean, really, North of the Red River it's generally considered bad form to have sex with six year olds alltogether.

You honestly believe that cops would wait over a year (and 8 months after the guy leaves the team...) to go after an accused molester of a 6-year old boy, just because that accused sits the bench at UT? Think about what you're saying. Child molestation.

Think it couldn't have something to do with real thin evidence? Naw. It's a big bad conspiracy. The Dallas PD is full of Horn-loving horn lovers who refuse to arrest Longhorns.

Also, we're arguing over a seven sentence story. Would be interesting to hear more...

This is a sad, real life situation - with either a horribly traumatized victim or an innocently accused man. It's not really a sports story. But, I guess we're just a society obsessed with dark subjects at this point.

I'd imagine they couldn't "find" him because they couldn't identify him. This part of the story makes this suspect to me. But I'll wait for the facts to develop and don't think the accuser or accused should go on trial in a f'n thread without any facts.

"but officers were unable to track Martin down"

This just proves that the Horns are the cheatingest program in America..
How many more times will their criminal behavior be swept under the rug until they are out of school?

Rooster,.. you take idiocy to a new level.

My little company has the ability to find any address on just about anyone.. including, every address at which a person has ever received mail, cars you own (including VIN), persons you have lived with, whether and when and with which political party, you registered to vote, lawsuits you have been involved in, criminal records, driver's license numbers, persons who live across the street from you.. in short, just about anything.

Officers were unable to track Martin down? If he was enrolled at UT, how about... oh... going to the athletic dorm and picking him up? That's a real tough one. Or, how about.. oh.. going to a judge ex parte and getting an order requiring the school to release all information on Martin?

I know you can't be a supporter of OU. Only aggy is dimwitted enough to draw the vaccuous conclusions and excrete the tripe you have shown in this thread.

Finally, if Martin did the acts about which he is accused, castrate him.

Rooster - it's obvious to me that you would never let the facts get in the way of the inyourendo. You've got Marco pegged as a thug before he even goes to trial based on accusations that weren't raised to the cops for over 6 years. And somehow you've got the Longhorn program risking NCAA sanction and police risking their jobs for a 5th stringer who doesn't like to work out and doesn't log PT? Not sure what conspiracy tent you live under, but I'd say this has more to do with either (1) the kid didn't know who to blame or ID or (2) incompetant police work. Either way, I'll wait to see the facts on this one before starting to call Marco a thug or child molestor.

No need to bold... it's sick either way.

he probably had sex with a 14 year old and is that really such a big deal?

It is a huge deal if a 16 year-old, very large athlete presses himself sexually upon a 14 year-old girl. How many 14-year olds of either sex do you know that really are ready for sex?

What? Did you skip life the day they were teaching common decency and morals?

But I will say this has very little, if anything, to do with Texas as a program.

I seriously doubt Mack Brown would ever knowingly ink a kid with a sexual assault rap sheet.

Actually I was pointing out that you are a complete moron for bringing any crime statistics into this thread, particularly when they have nothing whatever to do with the thread itself. I was showing you how arbitrary the statistics really are, particularly when they don't account for the specifics of the case. In this case, what you would want would be the statistics of teenagers assaulting 6 y/o boys. Good luck with your hunt, superstar. I'm glad you caught the irony of my post. :rolleyes:

Case:

Point 1. Child molestation is sick. Even if he was to do it now to the 12 year old, rather than when he was only 6. People who believed in and released Michael Jackson will have that on their hearts when another "ignorant accusation of child molestation" comes up.

Point 2. He was 16, I've heard of this case before... while it makes for a funny shirt, it has nothing to do with the Texas Football Program, and Mack Brown isn't God, so he wouldn't have known that.

Point 3. Comparing criminal rates in Oklahoma and Texas is stupid. We're not talking two different species here, they're human, American, and sick-minded thugs who deserve to reap what they sow. Just as many "percentage sites" Texas throws OUr way, we'll always be able to say... you're bigger, there's always more. This goes for Trailer parks, rednecks, NASCAR lovers (like it or not, it's a stereotype), criminals, failing students, etc.

I don't know a lot about the investigative procedures of the police involved in this case, but if they couldn't find him, maybe looking in Austin on a Saturday afternoon might have been a good start. Or maybe at a UT practice session. Funny how they located him after the season was over. Wonder how hard they were looking or maybe UT helped delay them. If they didn't you have to wonder why they didn't find him. He was a well know player on the UT team. Everyone in the state of Texas and the entire Big 12 area knew where he was....for four full years. Makes you go HMMMM. About like the four guys caught with dope in their cars or the guys caught fighting just before the Rose Bowl on sixth street. HMMMMM.
