cee-lo's "closet freak"

so #amiwrong or did cee lo admit to rape in those tweets

he had a case where he allegedly drugged and raped a woman and then he tweets that unconscious woman aren't "with" you so they can't consent and therefore fucking them is fine?????

isn't he basically saying "yeah i raped that woman who i knocked out"

i don't see any other way to read this

'no contest'

n. in criminal law, a defendant's plea in court that he/she will not contest the charge of a particular crime, also called nolo contendere. While technically not an admission of guilt for commission of the crime, the judge will treat a plea of "no contest" as such an admission and proceed to find the defendant guilty as charged. A "no contest" plea is often made in cases in which there is also a possible lawsuit for damages by a person injured by the criminal conduct (such as reckless driving, assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault), because it cannot be used in the civil lawsuit as an admission of fault. "No contest" is also used where there has been a "plea bargain" in which the defendant does not want to say he/she is guilty but accepts the sentence recommended by the prosecutor in exchange for not contesting the charge (which is often reduced to a lesser crime). It is standard practice for the judge to ask either the attorneys or the defendant, "Is there a factual basis for the plea?" before accepting it and finding the defendant guilty.

he's just pulling some OJ "If I Did It" shit, where he's saying 'y'all I'm totally innocent and all but uhhhh I don't think *this* is rape anyway'.

Pairing his comments with the allegations and him pleading 'no contest' instead of 'not guilty' is all I need to know to assume he fuckin' did it and lucked out w/ the evidence being insufficient.

so he *basically* admitted to it in court and then went and defended his actions on twitter

seems like an admitted rapist to me

yeah p much

It's not the 'no contest' by itself. It's that his original plea was "not guilty", and, realizing he faced four years in jail if convicted, he amended his plea to get the lesser charge of probation. *that's* what says he's guilty.

article about his original plea to the ecstacy charge: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/22/cee-lo-green-pleads-not-guilty-charge-ecstasy

by then the rape charge had been dismissed outright.

How not to explain yourself.

As Tom Ewing said, "the comments attributed to my brain by my hands typing them"

the "who knows where this internet stuff comes from, anyway" defense.

closet crepe

I initially thought he was gay himself.

If this is how he scotches such rumours, then I think he may have taken things a little too far

womp womp
