Sounders FC's Montero under investigation. more info..

[troy1982]

Fuck, his career ended before it barely started if any of this shit is true.

I don't think his career is over but i am 100% certain he will leave MLS in the summer just to get away from all this mess.

I have a hard time understanding why the woman's name is redacted, but Montero's can be spread all over the place.

That's how it always works.

[P-Dub's]

If this is all true it will kill Seattle first season, too bad

[ginkster88]

^^ I dunno... Zakuni is looking pretty good.

I was taken aback by the comment that the women was pissed that Montero was said to be out with the blue, so she decided to alert the media. Not exactly a normal course of action for a victim in this case (rape victim seeking media publicity).. Almost as if she was seeking some sort of attention here

It is unfortunate that this has happened. One thing I don't really like is the attempt to sway public opinion to make an individual seem guilty before it has ever been taken to court. It is something we see every day though in the news.

If you check the police report (which is a link to the story) the alleged rapes occurred on two different days, 3/15 and 3/22.

That seems really weird to me.

Obviously we don't knoiw everything, but the kid really may be innocent.

There is something to be said to keeping it in your pants in the first month with a new team, new city etc...these guys need to be sheltered early on.

Who knows what happened here, but I am not ready to convict the guy and until he is proven guilty he should be supported 100% by the team

[alexintoronto]

I was thinking a funny banner mocking him as a stalker would be a good idea. But rape isn't a laughing matter. A banner condeming him could have been good -but it's not proven so that's a bad idea too. What a disaster for Seattle.

[Strikers]

This case is weird. I'll just wait until the investigation is done.

She said no!

Shame he couldn't make it - we could have had some real fun.

[Wighty]

The detective spelled "Colombia" wrong on the police report.

Sorry, but... just, no.

If the allegations were true, we would be mocking the victim.

If they were false, we would be mocking victims of false rape accusations everywhere. There are a lot of men who have had their lives ruined, with no compensation from or penalty to their lying accusers.

Kinda off topic with regards to Montero...but Alomar was a SCUMBAG and that's why he was run out of town, and kicked out of his residence at the Skydome hotel...they could only stomach so much of his antics with juvenile girls...

[StandUpIfYouHateChelsea]

Fuck this publicity snatching bitch, wouldnt be surprised if bill archer was behind this BS.

[StandUpIfYouHateChelsea]

this is a joke , if any of you know colombia, you dont see stalking or rape there , its not that kinda place. This is just an attempt to ruin him ..... im pissed !!! i wanted to see a good match today, now we will just crush them! =P

[bhoybobby]

The whole Sounders team should be up on charges after the raping they gave us today, although, it looked consensual to me.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

^^Post of the day!^^

[wzhxvy]

Good one bobby

[FluSH]

damn...

his career down the drain.... 26 goals in Colimbia... 3 goals in two games here in the MLS... and 2 rapes... what was he thinking???

[TFCREDNWHITE]

Fuck with this kid in the game today we would have lost 4-nil....

Apparently Alomar got raped once too.

[Pachuco]

I agree with Ensco, this story is a bit too fishy. He rapes a girl one day. She says nothing. Then he rapes her again a week later? How the fuck does she get close enough to him to be raped again? Unless he's being charged with breaking and entering or kidnapping as well (which I've see nothing of the sort) then she obviously went out willingly with the guy again after he supposively raped her.

I think there's still alot more to this story that we haven't heard.

[eustacchio]

Yes, as POINTED OUT EARLIER I probably should have said "alleged victim".

I don't think it really matters whether you said alleged or not. In a court of law, adding "alleged" does not protect the writer or news organization from libel suits. In the police report, she is the victim and Montero is the rapist, plain and simple. Whether or not it's true has yet to be proven.

I have a hard time understanding why the woman's name is redacted, but Montero's can be spread all over the place.

In sexaul assault cases, it's the victim's right to have her/his name withheld. At any time, the victim can change her/his mind one way or the other and back again.
