"I believe it's a defensible case." Gray said of the complaint in a July court hearing, "I realize it's not pretty. But there is no alleged force, no weapon involved and no injuries." The "Rape is Indefensible" rally is intended to coincide with Jones first pretrial hearing on charges of performing sex acts on an 18 year-old woman who passed out after being fed several shots of alcohol by former University of Minnesota Gopher Football teammates. Scheduled speakers at the event included: Shannon Drury- President of Minnesota NOW Lyndsie Standerwick- Rape and Sexual Abuse Center
Donna Dunn- Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault
Carla Ferrucci- Minnesota Coalition of Battered Women |
