One of the backup quarterbacks on this year’s Ohio State football team was arrested and charged on a misdemeanor charge of soliciting.
Antonio Henton (below) agreed to pay $20 for intercourse, according to the police.
He was arrested at N. High Street and 6th Avenue by an undercover policewoman at 8:27 p.m. on Monday night.
Head coach Jim Tressel released a statement:
“It’s a great disappointment for our Buckeye football family, and we are very concerned for Antonio. We want to help him utilize any available resources, including counseling, to deal with any problems and seek solutions. Antonio is keenly aware of the standard we have for ourselves, and that makes this even more disappointing.”
“Antonio will not lose any academic privileges as an Ohio State student, but he will certainly be suspended indefinitely in terms of his athletic privileges. Specifically in the short term, he will not be traveling with us to Minnesota this weekend.”
Henton plead not guilty and the bail is set at $2,500.
Message boards are full of comments that express their displeasure with Henton - many of them are saying that his status as a Buckeye player merits free sex and that he shouldn’t have to pay - others commented that $20 is an extremely cheap price for that service and that the law enforcement was unfair to offer such a low price.
I will not comment on either one of those claims - I mean my parents read this.
However, I can imagine this story won’t be going away soon and I will follow it as it continues to develop
