A woman says Major League Soccer player Nate Jaqua sexually assaulted her when she was attending the University of Oregon on a soccer scholarship.

One can only hope we avoid the previous mistakes here on the boards when in came to Freddy Montero. Please keep the comments in good taste.

Wow, if this is true, why does it take chicks this long to say something? It's been 2 years since, WTF. Why didn't she go to the police right after it happened?

This seems to be a purely civil case in nature at the current time. It's within the statute of limitations per a quick search of Oregon law, but no charges seem to have ever been brought.

On what might be a purely coincidental point, he was traded from LA to Houston on July 2, 2007.

[garnet&blackattack]

So she's claiming he straight up raped her? Damn.....

Also, what is it with this R. Kelly syndrome of wanting to pee on girls? Not even cool.

Well, we presume there was no criminal charge sought at the time because we didn't hear about it.

Oregonians - is there a statute of limitations on a civil case such as this? Seems odd that it would not only be two years later, but exactly two years later.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like it would be hard to make a case two years later in something that would seem to depend on physical evidence or contemporaneous victim/witness testimony to a large extent. But I don't know. And this is the only report we have of the facts of the case, so we're largely inferring things. We'd have to see a more in-depth story.

The potentially unfortunate/potentially purely coincidental thing is the date of his trade from LA to Houston.

It sounds very serious now , but the law should have done something then. Just doesn't make any sense that the police didn't file any charges in 2007.
We need to hear from both sides.

The plaintiff says she had to quit the soccer team because of her memories, is afraid to be alone and is scared of men.
Represented by Randall Vogt, she demands $10 million in damages.

that's the word on the timbers board... filed on the last day possible before the statute kicked in.

From all indications, based on his time in Chicago, Nate is a model citizen and a great guy. I don't think even Mike Tyson did what this girl is alleging Nate is accused of.

Clearly when Nate talked to her about the differences between college and pro ball she didn't hear the part about how little MLS players make.

I don't think Nate has earned a million dollars, total, in his career, let alone has anything close to it on hand.

I tend to give the victim the benefit of the doubt in cases like this but this has a hard-time passing the smell test. First off, she waited TWO YEARS to make a case? Why?

And instead of going to the cops it's a civil case? Were the police even involved? If not, why not?

She afraid of men for god sake, how could she have gone to the cops. 10 million is not a bad number.
