Canadian Football’s Rapist Douchebag

Posted by: Tristan

Canadians seem like a reasonable bunch, if overly polite.  There are exceptions, though, like Canadian football player Tyler Stevens, 20, a second-year defensive back for the Okanagan Sun.  He was arrested on nine counts of sexual assault.

Now, if he was an American football player, one might figure him to be your typical jock date-rapist, who had a habit of getting drunk and failing to comprehend that “No” might actually mean no.

But then you’d read this:

He has also been charged with two counts of being masked while in the commission of an offence.

And then you realize that it’s not a matter of hormones and miscommunication.  It’s premeditated criminal rapist behavior.  And then you want to castrate the douchebag with a shovel.

Two of the nine assaults Stephens has been charged with occurred in June, according to Kelowna court documents.

In the first attack, a woman was in her Kelowna home June 12 when an attacker confronted her in her bedroom. The woman’s screams woke up her roommate and the attacker fled.

The second attack took place on June 19 when a man forced his way into a basement suite, after a woman answered a knock at the door. A neighbour interrupted the assault.

Details on the seven other charges were not immediately available.

Les Weiss, president of the Okanagan Sun, said in an interview Thursday that the team was unaware that there were charges pending against Stephens, adding somebody “dropped the ball” by not notifying the team.

No word if the pun was intentional…
