Nate Parker Rapist In Hollywood

Where else would you hide, if you've done something wrong? HOLLYWOOD! Maybe he can get himself an Oscar..(ahem...Roman Polanski).

First off, Fuck Penn State (where this occurred). Sandusky-hiding shithole. Nate Parker had sex with a girl, she claimed rape, Parker acquitted, then years later this chick killed herself. Then he makes a movie about how slaves were mistreated and need to uprise...nice morals there, pal.

From Deadline:
"Last week when "The Birth Of A Nation" writer, director, producer and star Nate Parker faced Deadline reporter he and the film’s co-story writer had raped a woman while all of them were students at Penn State (she claimed they had sex with her after she had passed out while they claimed the encounter was consensual), he vowed not to run from responsibility even though he had been found not guilty. Now that word surfaced that the woman killed herself 13 years later — trial records disclosed she had attempted suicide in the aftermath of a case that saw Parker declared not guilty and Jean McGianni Celestin’s initial conviction for sexual assault overturned on appeal — Parker has reportedly addressed the tragedy tonight in this Facebook post."

Here's him apologizing:
These are my words. Written from my heart and not filtered through a third party gaze. Please read these separate from any platform I may have, but from me as a fellow human being.
I write to you all devastated…
Over the last several days, a part of my past – my arrest, trial and acquittal on charges of sexual assault – has become a focal point for media coverage, social media speculation and industry conversation. I understand why so many are concerned and rightfully have questions. These issues of a women’s right to be safe and of men and women engaging in healthy relationships are extremely important to talk about, however difficult. And more personally, as a father, a husband, a brother and man of deep faith, I understand how much confusion and pain this incident has had on so many, most importantly the young woman who was involved.
I myself just learned that the young woman ended her own life several years ago and I am filled with profound sorrow…I can’t tell you how hard it is to hear this news. I can’t help but think of all the implications this has for her family.
I cannot- nor do I want to ignore the pain she endured during and following our trial. While I maintain my innocence that the encounter was unambiguously consensual, there are things more important than the law. There is morality; no one who calls himself a man of faith should even be in that situation. As a 36-year-old father of daughters and person of faith, I look back on that time as a teenager and can say without hesitation that I should have used more wisdom.
I look back on that time, my indignant attitude and my heartfelt mission to prove my innocence with eyes that are more wise with time. I see now that I may not have shown enough empathy even as I fought to clear my name. Empathy for the young woman and empathy for the seriousness of the situation I put myself and others in.
I cannot change what has happened. I cannot bring this young woman who was someone else’s daughter, someone’s sister and someone’s mother back to life…
I have changed so much since nineteen. I’ve grown and matured in so many ways and still have more learning and growth to do. I have tried to conduct myself in a way that honors my entire community – and will continue to do this to the best of my ability.
All of this said, I also know there are wounds that neither time nor words can heal.
I have never run from this period in my life and I never ever will. Please don’t take this as an attempt to solve this with a statement.
I urge you only to take accept this letter as my response to the moment.
Nate

Think a lawyer wrote that? Think when this movie was bought they vetted this guy?
This was 17 years ago when this happened. At college. Girl was probably already nuts. But to make a movie and put yourself in the limelight to be questioned like that. Buddy, if you win..we know Hollyweird is a garbage town and we should all hate ourselves (I mean, more than we already do).
