university golfers arrested. took explicit photos of drunk woman

[Liberal_in_LA]

Two University of Arkansas golfers face felony voyeurism charges for allegedly snapping sexually explicit photos of a drunk woman.

Taylor Moore and Nicolas Echavarria were arrested Wednesday after they admitted to taking the explict pictures inside Moore’s Fayetteville home on April 11, police said.

The victim said she ran into Moore and Echavarria — both of whom she knew before the alleged attack — while she was out at a bar that night. She was too drunk to drive home, so the two offered to let her sleep over at Moore's place, according to a police report obtained by KNWA.

When the three got to the home, Moore gave the woman a shirt to sleep in and carried her to his bedroom, she told police.

While fading in and out of consciousness, she remembered seeing bright flashes and suspected the men were taking photos of her — prompting her to call the cops later. She never gave the men consent, she said.

1. Why would they think it appropriate to take photos of a passed out woman's genitals?

2. Because they were

thinking with their own genitals and not their own brains.

3. Have you ever seen the film Revenge of the Nerds?

There is an entire segment of the movie devoted to guys doing this sort of thing and still being viewed as likable characters in the context of the film.

4. Actually it was worse

The women weren't drunk they had cameras planted in their rooms.

And then there was the scene at the end where Carradine's character impersonates a woman's boyfriend and performs oral sex on her. You do that in real life and you would be a in a world of shit.

The whole movie is a list of felonies. Even the jock burn scene would be considered a crime in most parts.

5. Good point

And they were the heroes of the film, and their behavior was presented positively in the movie. There was not, as far as I know, any sort of major outcry against it at the time. And that was a relatively popular movie with sequels and everything. Though, I believe this sort of thing was relatively common in movies of that genre at that time.
