2018 Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden Charged with Rape

Always need to be the center of attention, don't you Rob?

In all seriousness, what's it like selling your families belongings to make ends meet?

How many names does he have? Or is it a southern thing where his name is actually two names, like Joe-Rob?
 
Well that was an interesting read… Now waiting on chapter 2

Next bit is actually an interpretive dance around a giant burning effigee of Rock Hudson.

Ya know, to denounce his being a faggot traitor to his gender.

Or is it just an anonymous infantryman compensating for his own perceived lack of masculinity this week? I forget. :confused:

This information is based on evidence obtained from the following witnesses. Melissa Crandell, Trey Brimhall, L.K.H., L. Janssens and S. Madsen. Declaration of Probable Cause - Your declarant bases this information upon the following


The statement of competitive female bodybuilder, L.K.H., that on or about October 12, 2018, she, along with a photographer with whom she had just completed a photo session, went to visit her bodybuilding mentor and colleague, Shawn Rhoden, in room 249 of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel located at 10701 South Holiday Park Driver, Salt Lake County. Rhoden was visiting Utah from California. The photographer stayed in the lobby while L.K.H. went to the room. After L.K.H. went into the room, Rhoden started kissing her. He pushed his groin against L.K.H. and she could feel that his penis was erect. She asked him to stop repeatedly and tried to push him away. The kissing progressed to Rhoden lifting L.K.H.'s shirt, exposing her breasts. Rhoden began sucking on L.K.H's breasts and nipples; she tried to pull her shirt down and continued telling him to stop. Rhoden bent L.K.H. over the bed, face down and pulled her pants down. L.K.H. continued yelling Rhoden to stop and said she didn't want to do "this". Rhoden flipped L.K.H. over on her back and pulled his penis out of his pants. L.K.H. was scared because Rhoden is much bigger and stronger than she is and he was easily overpowering her. Rhoden placed the tip of his penis in L.K.H.'s vagina and put his fingers in her vagina. L.K.H. told Rhoden that she needed to go downstairs or else her photographer would know "something was up". Rhoden let her leave and L.K.H. contacted her husband and the police.

The statement of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Susan Madsen, that she conducted a sexual assault examination on L.K.H. and observed a laceration on L.K.H.'s genitals that was tender and stinging.

The statement of L. Janssens from the Utah State Crime Lab that a DNA sample obtained from L.K.H.'s breast was a match to a known DNA sample belonging to Rhoden.

Request for Issuance of a Warrant

The State hereby requests that the Court issue a Warrant of Arrest in this matter for the following reasons(s): due to the nature of the offense and because the defendant resides in California, a warrant is necessary to protect the victim, the community and to ensure the defendant's appearance in court.

Executed on 07-10-19 by Melissa Crandell, Declarant
Authorized for presentment and filing, Sim Gill, District Attorney

Rick Collins interviewed by Ron Harris for Muscular Development.

The incident involving the criminal charges against Shawn occurred on Friday night, October 12th, 2018, during the weekend of the 2018 NPC Utah Classic in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Host Hotel for the contest was the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 10701 Holiday Park Dr., Sandy, Utah. I ask anyone who was in the hotel lobby on that Friday night between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm to call me at 516-294-0300. Or to email me at rcollins@cgmbesq.com. I am particularly interested in anyone who observed Shawn during that time interval or anyone who has video or pictures taken in the lobby during that time. Please call me if you were there. If you know people who were there and might have taken pictures or video, encourage them to call me. Shawn and I greatly appreciate it.

Soooo, he is so screwed.
Unless he has video proof showing, or witnesses, that show her being intimate in public in some way. Texts, anything?
I wish there was more info about their relationship.
The only thing weird about it, is the fact it was close to Olympia time.

People say that there is no way he would jeopardize everything he has, but people do it all the time.
I don't see her being secretly paid or compensated by making false accusations. Along with the evidence. She is married and I am sure if it was a setup, would she do it without her husbands consent? How is she being compensated if it's a setup?
She will most likely be under investigation for awhile, so any large payouts would be investigated.
What does she gain from this?

Post consensual sexual guilt? Then calling husband and law enforcement? Seems far fetched. She probably would have marinated for awhile, if she cheated, and felt guilty, maybe telling in the future. However to go straight down rape road is again far fetched. But anything is possible.

Unless he has some ace up his sleeve that comes up... he's fried.
