Rape Potpourri
By ELIE MYSTAL

We’ve got a couple of rape stories, but I don’t have enough rape
humor to fill out two posts. So we’ll tackle them together.

Yes, I said “tackle,” because the first rape allegation is being hurled at
my childhood hero, former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence
Taylor. The New York Times reports:

Submit

The former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was arrested
early Thursday morning and will be charged with third-degree rape
involving a 15-year-old girl at a hotel in Montebello, N.Y., according to
police.
The Journal News reported that the victim was a runaway from the Bronx
who was taken to the Holiday Inn in Montebello by a pimp, according to
Ramapo supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence. She was treated at a
hospital.

I think Breaking Media executive editor Matt Creamer said it best: “Somewhere, Joe Theismann is
smiling.”
The little boy inside of me (I’m referring to my inner child, not my lunch) can’t believe that the man
who revolutionized the linebacker position could rape a little girl. I’m locked into my childhood
memories right now, because the part of me that is a rational adult is currently puking his guts out in
the bathroom. A 15-year-old girl? If the allegations are true, one can only hope that LT experiences
the business end of a true giant in the penitentiary.
Here at ATL, we’re your one-stop shop for breaking rape coverage. We cover the rape allegations of
the rich and famous, as well as any alleged attorney rapists near you…

Our next story from the files of the wanton and depraved is a little more in our wheelhouse. A St.
Louis-area lawyer came up with an excellent little game to meet women. Meanith Huon allegedly
listed Craigslist ads where he claimed to be a talent scout for models.
So far, so good. I once pretended to be an Ostrich rancher from sub-Saharan Africa because I was
trying to impress bubble gum princesses at a BU party. But Huon’s potentially harmless lies
allegedly turned dastardly, pretty quickly:

The victim said she responded to a Craigslist ad posted by Huon in late
June, seeking promotional models, sending her resume, her phone
number and two pictures of herself…
The two agreed to meet at the downtown St. Louis bar Paddy O’s, the
victim testified.
But the next day, the victim was running late and called Huon. He told her
to meet him at another bar, but when she got there, he told her the other
promotional models left, and so he was going to interview her, the victim
said.

And this, people, is why God invented Google. Had the victim Googled Huon, she would have found
stories like this, from the Madison County Record:
Case: 1:11-cv-03054 Document #: 36-2 Filed: 09/21/11 Page 3 of 4 PageID #:315

A Chicago attorney who was posing as a supervisor for a company that
sets up promotions for alcohol sales at area bars was charged in Madison
County July 2, with two counts of criminal sexual assault, two counts of
criminal sexual abuse and one count of unlawful restraint.
Meanith Huon, 38, of 3038 S Canal St. in Chicago, was arrested by the
Chicago Police Department on July 1, and was transferred to Madison
County the next day.

Or she might have come across this link, at Lawyer Gossip:

Lawyer, Meanith Huon, 39, who was originally charged with criminal
sexual assault, sexual abuse and unlawful restraint is now facing charges
of harassment and cyber stalking!

Of course, women shouldn’t have to assume that every guy they meet is a potential rapist. But
apparently there are a lot of depraved dudes walking around out there that are potential rapists.
In any event:

Huon and the woman went to a couple of bars near Busch Stadium, then
to a Laclede’s Landing bar before Huon asked the victim if she wanted to
go to Pop’s in Sauget to meet the other models.
The woman agreed, but told Huon she didn’t have enough gas in her car,
so she went with him, she said.

This is gonna end badly:

As Huon’s Honda Civic crossed the Poplar Street Bridge, the victim said
Huon drove past the Sauget exit and continued north on Interstate 55. As
the car was moving, Huon fondled the woman, then forced her to perform
oral sex on him, the victim said.

Oh come on. If somebody was driving and tried to “force” me to perform oral sex on them, I’d just get
out of the stupid car. Which is to say, I’d do exactly what the victim did in this case:

Huon exited Interstate 55 near New Douglas, looking, the victim said, for a
secluded place to make out with her. The victim leaped from the moving
car, she said, to escape Huon, leaving her cell phone, purse, shoes and
identification in his car.
“If he wasn’t going to take me back to the freeway, I had made a decision
to do anything I could to get out of that car,” the victim testified.
Assistant State’s Attorney Chris Hoell showed pictures to the jury of the
woman’s bruised knees, skinned feet and cut toes.

Damn. If you can’t get a woman to consensually stay in a moving vehicle, can you really get her to
consensually agree to sex (insofar as lying to her about your job and your intentions to get her into
the car counts as consensual in the first place)?
Obviously, Huon sees things differently:

Mike Mettes, Huon’s defense lawyer, said during his opening statement

that Huon and the victim met, but at some point in the evening, it became

Case: 1:11-cv-03054 Document #: 36-2 Filed: 09/21/11 Page 4 of 4 PageID #:316
social and the two of them had consensual sex. But the victim asked for
$500 and threatened if Huon didn’t pay her, she would “cry rape,” the
attorney argued.

So we’re not denying that she hurled herself out of a moving vehicle, we’re contending that she
jumped out of the car to make it look like she was raped? Right, sure. That sounds like the definition
of incredible.
It seems to me that there is entirely too much (alleged) raping going on in this country. If this keeps
up, men and women are going to have to start carrying around sexual consent forms on their
persons.

I, the undersigned, being of sound mind and hot body, do hereby consent
to affixing my ____ to the other party’s ____. Such amorous undulations
include, but are not limited to, ____, ____, and ____, and all proposals
will be considered so long as no animals (barnyard or otherwise) are
involved.
I claim no rights to future ____, ____, or ____, in exchange for this
brief interruption in my chronic loneliness.
UPDATE: Meanith Huon was acquitted of these charges. Please check
here for our continuing coverage.
While I may be quite intoxicated right now, I know damn well what I’m
doing.
