Duke Rape Case E-mail Shocker

After alleged assault, player wrote of killing, skinning strippers

APRIL 5--Shortly after an exotic dancer claimed she was raped at a Duke University lacrosse team party, a member of the squad sent an e-mail announcing that the following night he planned "to have some strippers over" and would be "killing the bitches" as soon as they walked into his dorm room. Disclosure of the e-mail came today with the unsealing of a March 27 search warrant for the residence of Ryan McFadyen, a sophomore lacrosse player. McFadyen is pictured at right in his team headshot. According to the warrant, a copy of which you'll find below, the e-mail was provided to Durham cops by a confidential source who received the correspondence from McFadyen's Duke e-mail account at 1:58 AM on March 14. According to the dancer, she was attacked earlier that morning at a team party (the woman and another dancer had been hired for $400 to perform at a home rented by three of the squad's captains). The e-mail from McFadyen's account notes that, after the strippers were killed, they would be skinned while the author was "cumming in my duke issue spandex." The e-mail is signed "41," which is McFadyen's jersey number. Following a search of the athlete's room and car, investigators walked away with two laptops, a memory card, a disposable camera, cash, and other items. Agents also seized a poster described as "the shocker" from McFadyen's room and a "piece of paper--in vehicle suckie suckie $5.00."

1. Jesus Christ!

What an asshole! :puke:
I betcha Rita Cosby will be all over this one.

2. Well, Rush, is it OK to do that to "hos"?

Just more fraternity pranks, right?

[KingFlorez]

4. You know he thinks it

It makes me fuming every time I hear about what Rush said

[warrens]

5. We should bombard Rush with calls

Is it ok to skin people alive, Rush? Raping and killing is just old-fashioned fun?

[realisticphish]

10. hell

in RUSH'S fraternity, that was commonplace. Those people are bitching about nothing...

[tanyev]

12. OMG! Anybody got some disinfectant, quick?

I went over to Free Republic to see what they were saying about this email (mixed reactions), but first I skimmed through the live Rush Limbaugh thread on the day he made the remark and came across the following gem. Someone was wondering whether Rush would ever get married again and someone else replied:

After his experiences....I would not think so....like someone said on this board....I think he would be a good lover but not a good husband!

Ewwwwwwwww. I still have shivers going down my spine. That will teach me to go over there.

3. A young man with issues, clearly.

Isn't all this info sub judice?

[regnaD kciN]

6. Or just a wiseass...

I think the guy's a prime-level jerk, but it sure sounds to me like he wrote that as a sarcastic comment on the situation ("O.K., everyone thinks Duke lacrosse players are sociopaths -- let's make it sound like we're psychopaths, too"), not out of any desire to actually "act out" the scenario.

7. He sent the e-mail 34 minutes after the crime was reported.

I doubt that he even knew that it had been reported. Still, I think he didn't mean to be taken literally. Probably just gloating over the rape.

ETA: This type of guy always seems to have a broomstick fetish. What's that about? Are broomsticks substitutes for their own limp ziti?

[realisticphish]

9. i didn't realize it was that close

i should have read it more closely. But I agree, i think he was just being an asshole on top of being a rapist (though i will hold judgement until it's proven/not proven that he was involved), or he was wasted and for some reason thought that this was funny

[realisticphish]

8. that was my first thought, as well

douchebag, and it serves him right that he's gettting into shit for this (and that's even assuming he's innocent of the rape), but i find it hard to believe that someone who would brazenly write about stuff like that hadn't already been identified as a sociopath. The other possibility is that someone else sent the message with his account :shrug:

[LostinVA]

11. Total sociopath....

[Taverner]

13. Sick mutherfucking bastard

speechless....
