On Nov. 17, a woman reported the rape to a detective and said it happened at her home during a Nov. 7 session with the trainer. She said she had been taking lessons from Freitas for several years and on that day was having him massage her legs due to recent cramping.

The woman said that Freitas is flirtatious with her and several other women he trains, that she “at times found his behavior inappropriate” and that there was never any romantic relationship between the two.

The woman told police she drank half a glass of wine and then ate breakfast and drank orange juice with Freitas before the session. She said she went to the bathroom and came out to find Freitas had prepared her a second glass of orange juice.

The woman told police she added a shot of whiskey and ginger ale to the drink and about 30 minutes later began ‘feeling sleepy’ as Freitas massaged her legs. She said that she ‘quickly passed out’ and awoke hours later, naked from the waist down, and that Freitas was gone.

“Bones” posted an announcement regarding a new addition to his personal team with his fight approaching. Jones posted a photo to Instagram with Roberto Alencar with the caption saying, “Hired @tussagb & @baratagb as my official jujitsu coaches today. #Growth #TeamJones is only 68 days away from world title number 10.”


If you aren’t familiar with Roberto Alencar (@tussagb) and Rafael Freitas (@baratagb), they are accomplished Gracie Barra black belts. Alencar has a big list of championships taking first place to become the World No-Gi Champion in 2009, 2008, 2007, 2012, and the 2009 Pan American Absolute Champion.

When a victim of sexual assault goes to the hospital, are labs run to check for GHB or other substances?

Don't mean to sound insensitive, just hope they have proof to convict if he in fact did it.

By the sounds of it the rape was captured on the security cam in her living room

“Freitas’ arrest stems from an alleged Nov. 7 incident in which Freitas is “accused of drugging and raping a client.” According to a criminal complaint obtained by the newspaper, “the female client captured the alleged assault on a security camera in her living room.”
 
Hold on, Jon Jones is going to fight in 68 days?
For a title nonetheless!!! I'm so confused. I thought Jan was fighting Izzy and Stipe was fighting Ngannou again.

Izzy vacated MW title to fight Jan at LHW. Jon Jones bulks to heavyweight then drops to MW to fight for the vacant belt. Winner fights for the vacant HW strap in the WTFFC

Not saying it isn't so, but this version causes the brow to furrow. It seems odd that if something nonconsensual happened, he would leave her undressed to make sure that she knew what happened when she woke up.

Read the whole article. He was on camera putting stuff in her drink and then going down on her while she was passed out.

The victim would need to request a drugs screen.

Sounds like there's already evidence though

So she invites him over to massage her legs, while all alone with him drinking alcohol.....I'm having a hard time believing a woman can be this clueless
