Ben McLemore Charged with Rape in Portland
-
Ben McLemore was arraigned on 4 charges today in Portland including first-degree rape and first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, both A-level felonies that carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The other two charges are two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, both C-level felonies that carry maximum penalties of five years in prison.
If convicted, McLemore could face up to 50 years in prison.
This one definitely caught me off guard because I’m not aware of McLemore having this kind of reputation.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m just sick about this. He gave a lot back to Lawrence and his hometown. He lost his brother to an overdose a few yrs ago. I know he married and had a kid, but that was a long time ago.

Damn, was not expecting this at all.

Guilty until proven Innocent. That’s how we are now. I hope this is wrong - very well could be a case of some woman trying to make a pile of money quickly.

Ben’s been arraigned already which means Ben’s already had his first court appearance where all of the charges against him were filed. The legal process, as we just saw with Arterio, usually doesn’t get this far in rape cases without the prosecutors believing they have enough evidence to get a conviction.

@Texas-Hawk-10 thanks. This morning was the first I’d heard of it. I’m at work and didn’t have time to check it thoroughly.

Benny Mac is one of my favs, he had such a hard life. I know he didn’t want to leave but had to help his family. I hate this, for many reasons.
