Before this week, I didn't care about the NFL's Denver Broncos. The local team (those sorry ass Panthers) can't win a game, so this football season has lost its luster. And now it's even dimmer as news of Broncos's rookie, Perrish Cox's arrest comes to light.

Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Cox could face up to life in prison if convicted of sexual assault charges filed by prosecutors last week.A portion of the case unsealed by a Douglas County judge Tuesday shows the sexual assault charges are Class 3 and Class 4 felonies, which carry a sentence of between two years to life in prison. They involve a helpless victim.

When I hear "helpless victim," I think child, handicapped person, woman in a coma. So, I looked it up. According to the Denver Post, it means that the victim can't understand her situation. So, it sounds as if the victim in this case could've have been slipped a mickey (ust my conjecture).

But already, the deck is seemingly being stacked against this victim, as it goes down in most cases involving professional athletes.

A privately operated online database that posts case information for Colorado's judiciary inadvertently posted the alleged victim's name for a time Tuesday afternoon.

The Denver Post is not naming the woman because the newspaper does not identify alleged victims of sexual assaults without their consent.

But the name matches that of a Denver model whose photographs are published on the Internet and who has appeared in magazines.

In an online posting, she said she was a college student.

Let the judgment of the victim begin. While her name is being leaked, what's happening with Cox? He got benched for the first half of a game. Are you kidding me?

The alleged offense occurred Sept. 6 and was reported Oct. 28.

Cox, who played in the Broncos’ loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, is free on $50,000 bail.

Cox could face a four-game suspension from the NFL next season for violating the league’s personal conduct code.

I am further convinced that the NFL hates women.
