There has been a lot of discussion about how Lloyd Irvin should respond to the NYE incident in which 2 members of his competition team are alleged to have sexually attacked a female member of his school, as well as the the revelations about his own 1990 trial for rape. As you can see in this thread, many people are very unhappy with Lloyd's decision to avoid discussing the latter incident by deleting any mention of his brush with the criminal justice system.
Would any of you be willing to give Lloyd the benefit of the doubt if he had instead released the following statement?

I'm releasing this statement to discuss a painful but important chapter in my life. It began with an incident I should have discussed more openly in the past, because it has been so vital in molding me into the man I am today.
In 1989, as a 20-year-old college student, I went to a wild party that I never should have attended. After consuming large quantities of alcohol, some of the other male students at the party began having sex in a bedroom with a female student. Even though I could see that the sex was consensual, I still felt extremely uncomfortable with what was occurring
