The Dirt is In! Montero Scene Revealed!

Via the Slog, the whole lurid thing is up at the Seattle Times and has been for about a day. I'd read some details but had no idea the juice was loose. Here's some key points I picked up. Following are key quotes from the paper:
"The woman, who had lived in Colombia and speaks Spanish fluently, told police that she met Montero when they went out to a nightclub with several others on March 14."

She said he tried to force her to have sex, but she fought his advances.
The prosecutor's report says, however, that she didn't report this incident to police until the third time they interviewed her. She later said "she didn't consider this rape since he stopped when she told him to stop," the prosecutors' report says.

The prosecutor's report says the record of the messages shows she repeatedly sent him friendly messages, including photos of the two together at the nightclub. One of the photos showed Montero kissing her on the cheek. She also wished him luck on an upcoming soccer match, added him as a "friend" on her Facebook account, and at one point invited Montero out to a bar, but he didn't respond.

Then on March 22, the reports say, Montero called her around 2:30 a.m. on March 22 to tell her that he had found her necklace and invited her over.

She told police that she went back against her better judgment because one of his teammates would be there as well.

At some point, the teammate left and the woman claims that Montero dragged her up the stairs, removed her clothes and raped her while she cried for help

.

The bolding is mine. Like the prosecutors and most Sounders fans, I find it quite interesting that she did not think she was raped before the opening game on March 19, but reported that she was later, possibly after realizing just who she had be-friended, arguably the best player in the MLS.

After running into him once, she claimed he was stalking her, but wasn't she the one sending him repeated texts about her necklace? (to which he did not respond- who was stalking who is all I'm saying.)

I hope I'm not letting my love for the Sounders color my vision to greener pastures, but in this case, I really think the law made the right call.
