From the article, where do you get 3 weeks? She had the rap kit done two days later and then went to the police in 10 days.



"The 23-year-old woman, who is not being identified because she is an alleged victim of a sex crime, went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital to have a rape kit done on June 19, Guglielmi said. She filed a formal complaint with police 10 days later, sources said."

I thought it was like 10 days. Either way, I can't say for sure how I would act in that situation so I'm not going to pass judgment based solely on that. Maybe she also just knew the giant storm she was about to get into and wanted to get good counseling and everything in order before it all went public.

My opinion:  Based on what is known from that Chicago Tribune article, Kang did nothing wrong at all.    He's a 27 year old pro-ball player on the road during a day game.   He was engaged by a woman on a dating app that only lets women engage.   She came to his hotel room at 10pm.



Kang wasn't out clubbing or bar hopping.  He wasn't making public scenes etc.     He's a 27 year old single man.



She is alleging that wrongdoing took place once the hotel door closed.   Prior to that door closing, based on the story, Kang wasn't even misbehaving.  Wasn't putting himself in any sort of bad situation, was meeting with a date/escort..



Is there a chastity vow written into the contracts?  I could certainly understand if he were out partying and making a fool of himself.  Or cornering a girl in a bar and assaulting her in a bathroom.  Or carrying a handgun and waiving it around like a fool.  Or getting himself shot.  Or punching a woman in the face in an elevator.



What did he do wrong? (SO FAR)   A woman reached out to him and quietly and discretely met him in his hotel room while on a road trip?   Jeez, sound the alarm!   We've got a real bad guy in our midst!



Dude speaks 100 words of English on his best day. If the girl [highlight]couldn't speak Korean[/highlight], either H.K Kim was there interpreting or this was just a hustle and Kang was a mark.



Right now, nothing should change. He's accused of something heinous and the circumstances of the accusation seem questionable. His known actions aren't in violation of any rule or law that I'm aware of. I go further and say that his known behavior isn't uncommon nor unethical.



We shall see what develops

Yeah there's just not enough information out (to us) for me to know WHAT to think, other than no matter what's really going on I don't like it.

This happens way too much to athletes. I agree this woman put herself in a bad spot too. We don't know anything. My opinion of him has not changed at this point.



But it is a huge deal if he did drug her and rape her. Like, huge.

If it comes to that it wouldn't even be a matter of whether the Pirates want to keep him around as I'd imagine he'd be in hot water with Immigration.

Most definitely. If it gets to that point, his work visa would be toast and he'd be on the first plane back to Seoul.

If that happened then it's inconceivable that 2 days or 10 days would pass. So I'm not going to even entertain that possibility unless such an allegation comes out.



I'll stand for the victim IF Jung Ho truly initiated and forced acts against the woman's will. But I also recognize that athletes or other deep-pockets are prayed upon.

Just buy her out and learn the lesson. She filed charges 10 days after the fact. Wants paid. Welcome to M'erica, Jung Ho. And remember, it's illegal to record her against her will too. Can't pay for it and can't record it in secret as evidence.



What you could do is hide H.K. Kim in the closet next time and then have him testify, but that would be pretty creepy. ;D

No way, I would fight her if I was accused and innocent. He has enough money to put her away for doing that to him.



I am not saying innocent or guilty, but she better be tellign the truth for her to say anything. I think that is worse than the actual act at times. When they want paid, I would never pay them if innocent.
