University of Tennessee wide receiver Von Pearson has been named as a suspect in a gang-rape.

This makes three Tennessee footballers either charged or suspected of rape. Is this part of the NY Times’ “rape
Culture”?

N.S.: Note how careful WBIR is about referring to the vic as "the alleged victim." Even after Jackie Coakley had been exposed as the UVA rape hoaxer for accusing non-existent white men of gang-raping her, MSM "reporters" continued referring to her as the "victim," when the real victims were the men of the fraternity she'd defamed, Phi Kappa Psi.

(WBIR) - University of Tennessee wide receiver Von Pearson been suspended indefinitely from all team activities amid a rape investigation, according to UT athletic officials.

Pearson, 23, was identified early Friday as a rape suspect, according to Knoxville Police Department Deputy Chief Gary Holliday.
Pearson has not been charged. The announcement comes one day before UT's annual Orange and White Game at Neyland Stadium.

The rape is alleged to have occurred between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. at University Walk Apartments, 2308 Forest Ave., according to a KPD report. A UTPD report notes alcohol was involved and was "group/gang involved."

The Tennessean reports that University of Tennessee police were first to respond, speaking with the alleged victim at UT's Hodges Library, according to a University of Tennessee Police report.

At the library, the alleged victim indicated that a sexual assault had occurred off campus. She was transferred to University of Tennessee Medical Center for evaluation. The case was then turned over to Knoxville police.

KPD was notified about 6 a.m., with a KPD investigator responding to the hospital.

"During the initial investigation, KPD investigators took statements from the victim, several witnesses, and alerted the Sexual Assault Center. This investigation is in the early stages and is ongoing," according to Holliday.

Six people are listed as witnesses in an incident report including two UT football players.

Pearson is a senior from Newport News, Va. He transferred from Feather River College in Quincy, Calif.

According to the University of Tennessee Athletic Department, in his first year with the Vols last fall Pearson played in 11 games, starting in eight of them. He made 38 catches for 393 yards.

A former Vol and suspended Vol are awaiting prosecution for an alleged rape.

Former Vols A.J. Johnson and Michael Williams are charged in Knox County Criminal Court on a four-count rape indictment for an incident alleged to have happened at Johnson's South Knoxville apartment.
