Jose Canseco Rape?
Well, this is certainly a strange story. Former Major League baseball player/steroid user Jose Canseco has been accused of sexual assault. That’s not even the strange part, though! The strange part is that this news wasn’t leaked by TMZ or anything, it was leaked by Jose Canseco himself! On Twitter! The 48-year-old juiced up monster tweeted about how Las Vegas police had just left his house, and informed him that he was being charged with rape.
Canseco laughed off the charge on Twitter and he even tweeted the name and workplace of one of the victims in the case. Some of that information has since been deleted, but Jose made it clear on his Twitter account that he would be fighting these charges. He even says he will take a polygraph test. He tweeted,
“Truth or dare. I dare u to take a polygraph on national tv. I will take one.”
Canseco angered some of his Twitter followers by posting personal information about the victim, which is probably why he ended up deleting the information.
However, he denies deleting anything and tweeted,
“For the record I do not delete tweets. I have nothing to hide. The truth always comes out.”
According to Canesco, the cops that visited his house claim that he drugged the girls and then raped them. Apparently, the details of the case are pretty disgusting and horrifying, but he claims that he did nothing wrong. The former baseball player did not return calls immediately, but he did make his planned trip out to Texas.
He’s in Texas to play for the Fort Worth Cats, which is a baseball team in what you call the “Independent League” it’s basically a step below the Minor Leagues and a step above your average adult softball league, which Jose has actually played in before. Anyway, when Canseco landed in Texas, he tweeted a photo of him getting “swarmed” by the media. “At lagrave field getting swarmed by the media already. Lol.” he posted on his Twitter page.
I’m not so sure he was “swarmed” the picture only shows like three reporters, but I guess that is a lot of people for Jose Canseco. A spokeswoman for Canseco claimed that she had no immediate information about the case, and Canseco’s agent did not return calls from the media. So, it appears like the only one talking about the case is the slugger himself.
Such a strange story. I’ve never seen someone act this way after finding out they were being accused of rape. It’s like he thinks it’s some big joke. Even if the rape is completely made up, I’d still be f–king terrified! I certainly wouldn’t be “loling” about on Twitter. That will not look good in front of the judge. He needs to take this more seriously, especially if he didn’t do anything. His brain must be still feeling it after that ball hit him in the head.
