found not guilty, honestly shocked this case went to trial given the details that came out
Sounds like he is more the victim.Not guilty: Illinois star Terrence Shannon Jr. acquitted by jury in rape case - The Daily Illini
A six month legal battle is complete for former Illinois star Terrence Shannon Jr. after he was charged with rape and sexual assault in December 2023. The charges stemmed from a trip Shannon took to Kansas to support the Illinois football team in early September 2023, where he was accused by a...dailyillini.com
The texts between the victims and her friend were pretty damning
Absolutely. She is a vile human being who should be outed publicly. Outside of it involving children that is the most heinous thing a man could be falsely accused of. She doesnt realize that all shes doing is making things more difficult for true victims to come forward which is already a horrendous problem. I recently read that up to 90% of actual assaults go unreported. That is a sickening stat yet you have utterly classless, pieces of trash like this fool running around making false accusations like its a game. Im disgusted! Hawk Toowy!!!She should be tried now
It’s why these situations are always tricky and I try not to touch on them until the details come out.People on this board were saying horrible things about him and I kept telling them over and over he didn't do it and asked if they would have the same energy for the accuser that they had for him once it's proven he didn't do it. Bill Self knew it was bogus from the very beginning and went to bat for Shannon behind the scenes.
She should be charged with filing a false police report and receive the exact same sentence he would have gotten if he were guilty. That text is despicable.x.com

I'll also add that, in general, it's probably not healthy for sports fans' to use something like this as fodder for trash talk/engagement. It's somewhat insulting, I think, to the victim/survivor even when the allegations have merit. "Sorry about the monstrous thing he did to you, I'm going to try to distract him at the foul line for you."Around the time of the Illinois game there were a few members of UConn twitter that were brutal with the TSJ is a rapist narrative towards Illini fans. Not a great look for us.
Lmaooo sameWelp I take back about 50% of the things that left my mouth on March 30th, 2024
Actually there are a lot more unreported cases and cases that aren't brought because they are so hard prove than there are false allegations of which there are very few.I was glad he forced Illinois to await due process. And, apart from running into the Castle, he was pretty damn near unstoppable. Often looked like the most exciting player to watch.
I had a feeling he was innocent - given how hard he was fighting. There are more false allegations of these sorts than any of the “believe all women” crowd care to acknowledge.
