Absolve? No. His behavior was awful. He very nearly made a mistake that would have ruined his life. I would have much rather that he properly understood the situation and stopped it, which is the only course of action he could have taken that night that I would have considered good. So let's be clear on that much.
Does it change anything? I'll let you decide if these two things mean the same thing:
A) "Yes I wanted to have sex with her, but only because I thought it was consentual at the time".
B) "I knew it was rape, but I wanted to do it anyway".
Not even close. A is what Lloyd actually testified, while B is the way people have consistently presented the "he wanted to" part of his testimony.
Yes, because he totally would have testified that he wanted to RAPE her on the stand!!??
Dude, Get The Fuck Out Of Here Already!!!!!
Having read through the fb comments, man people lack perspective.
A teammate was raped by two other teammates, but don't let that distract you from the tournament!!!
AS IF a fucking tournament means a fucking thing in comparison to what has transpired.
It demonstrates the "money, titles, and fuck the haters" mentality to a T.
Yes forget real life horrific drama, its all about who you can beat on the mats....fucking savages.
Chloe is bringing up a lot of good points.
This drama also wouldn't have to be played out on her brothers wall if LI would deal with this issue like a man on his page. Instead of having the discussion on his page, Chloe (a concerned sister) is forced to have the discussion in a public place where it will be noticed.
This is the part I don't quite get - why is she forced to have it in public at all?
Sure, she can debate the issue on the web, write a blog post or whatever, but why does she have to make a written message specifically to her brother public? Can't she just shoot him a text, email, private message or call him? There are other places for a public message - reddit, sherdog, etc.

Occam's razor tells me that Lloyd was one of a group of immoral idiots who tried to screw a drunk girl against her will, but wasn't convicted because his whiskey dick didn't fit into the options the jury was given. That's the simplest and most straight forward explanation I can see based on the facts we know. It is to me the hypothesis that makes the fewest assumptions.
Please stop this. The defense of it being consensual was rejected by at least 3 different juries. So the facts show it was RAPE not consensual sex so it doesn't matter what someone wants to claim 20 years after the fact.
It seems pretty clear Keenan is being controlled, possibly to the point of having his "phone time" and text messages filtered. He lives in a controlled environment and we've seen in Lloyd's videos that 100% subservience is expected and there is "punishment" for non-compliance.

Uh, we have a conspiracy theorist in the house.
1) You assume he knew it was rape.
2) You assume he wanted to participate in it, knowing it was rape.
3) You assume he lied about thinking it was consentual under oath.
Even if you eliminate any element of premeditation, or any conspiracy for everyone to lie about it in court, that's still 3 assumptions.
I make one assumption:
1) Lloyd mistakenly thought the encounter was consentual.
Everything else is based on facts reported about the case. It fits. Moreover, not only does it fit with the defendants' stories....it fits with the victim's story.
i'm here for the gangbang......
gangbang with consent is legal. rape isn't
Uh, we have a conspiracy theorist in the house.
Jesus, you are fetching at straws now.
Ya, strange that he sends a dude to the basement for being late but he has delivered no punishment for allegely raping your own teammate. Priorities...at least we know what is the punishment for not attending training on time.
