Why is in jail? Because it is a well documented fact that in law enforecment, the bigger the bust... the bigger the boost. This will not be the first time that law enforcement has coerced a witness (victim) to make statements that do not portray what actually transpired.

So the question is, why is he still in jail?

Pilot Accused of Rape Appears in Court (WSB Radio) The corporate pilot, accused of raping a teenager in a stairwell at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, had his day in court. More will follow.

Michael Mathews sat quietly while the lead investigator in the case recalled what the victim told him about the incident in Concourse C. Mathews claim the sex was consensual. Detective James McNatt testified the victim told him she tried to stop it.

"She said no. His comment to that was 'no one says no to me' so she took that as a threat," McNatt said. When asked why the 16 year old exchanged telephone numbers with the 39 year old, McNatt explained it was for identification purposes.

"She said they exchanged numbers because she was afraid he would get away," McNatt said, "so she kept her composure and got his telephone number in case he wasn't really a pilot or had a fake ID."

Mathews was arrested after he and the teen were discovered in the stairwell. Defense attorney Lee Sexton questioned the detective about the victim's condition after the alleged rape.

"There was no torn clothing of any kind that would indicate she was in any distress, was there?" McNatt said no. Mathews is charged with rape and sexual battery. A bond hearing is scheduled for Friday.

Sounds like coercion to me.

Well since we are back on the front page again with this post...any latest news or update? Is the girl's story sounding kind of weak? He still locked up?

 

[Sameold]

Any news from the ATL? Is he still locked up?

talleyd, any new info?

My crystal ball was fairly accurate on this one.

 

[spngbobsqrpilot]

No one has said it yet

so here it is:

When connecting through ATL, remember DELTA means Don't Ever Lay Teen-Agers.

He is still in jail on a $220,000 + bond so it looks like he may be there until trial. I spoke to his attorney Friday and he said that there has been a turn in the case in Michael's favor but he wasn't at liberty to say what it was. That's about all I know.

 

[Humphreybogart]

how did they get away with it? did she have a skirt on or what?

 

[talleyd]

how did they get away with it? did she have a skirt on or what?

From what I understand she had on a skirt

 

[Metro752]

Anyone ever have a girlfriend who was embaressed to go out with ya in a skirt, often, cuz she thought it was toooo obvious to her folks?

 

[sky4]

Any new word?

 

[talleyd]

No new word as of yet. He's still in jail because of this rediculous bond. I saw him on Monday and he said that there was someone that was just put in with an almost identical case on a $10,000 bond. So I don't know, They must think he's loaded.

 

[sky4]

Talleyd, Please check your PM.

Thanks

OK, enough is enough! Free Michael! Will FLOPS match 100% of his legal fund? The story line has gone dim...

Whats the latest word with this poor guy?
