FULL STATEMENT FROM HUNTLEY JOHNSON
We are releasing this statement in an attempt to help clarify the circumstances surrounding the investigation of Treon Harris.

The status of Mr. Harris as a student at the University of Florida is that he was given an interim suspension pending a resolution by the administration of the University. After an appeal of the decision to suspend Mr. Harris, the University decided to allow Mr. Harris to continue his online courses. Because he is not allowed on campus, Mr. Harris is currently not attending those classes which occur in a classroom.

In terms of the criminal case, as most of you are aware, the University released a redacted police report yesterday evening. Currently, Mr. Harris has not been arrested and the criminal investigation is ongoing.

First, we want to dispel the idea that the alleged victim and our client didn’t know each other. Our client and the alleged victim knew each other to the extent that they had each other’s cell phone numbers and had previously spent time together of their own accord for the purpose of socializing together.

We want to dispel the idea and rumors floating around that our client forced his way into the alleged victim’s apartment. Those rumors are patently false. Mr. Harris has never been inside the young lady’s room. We understand that all of the evidence was gathered from our client’s room, which is where the interaction between the two parties took place.

We know that an individual has given testimony to law enforcement that he had sexual relations with the alleged victim less than an hour before the alleged sexual conduct with our client took place. In fact, testimony indicates that the young lady in question was the sexual aggressor in that interaction.
Our investigation has produced no evidence whatsoever that the young lady in question was impaired.

We have provided law enforcement with multiple witnesses that will indicate what the interaction was between the alleged victim and our client before they returned to our client’s room: they were smiling and they were holding hands. They returned to the Springs Residential Complex in a car driven by another female student who was a friend of the alleged victim.

We have provided multiple text messages to the authorities investigating this incident. These texts were exchanged among the alleged victim, Mr. Harris, and the other gentleman mentioned above.

When these text messages are released, they will show that the young woman making these allegations initiated the conduct with Mr. Harris while he was still in the locker room in Knoxville. Shortly after the team plane landed, texting continued between Mr. Harris and the alleged victim.

We believe the evidence will show the alleged victim was in fact in the sexual aggressor with not one, but two young men early last Sunday morning.

Misstatements in the media to date have painted a picture that is inconsistent with the evidence. That said, we have fully cooperated with this investigation. Mr. Harris agreed to a search of his dorm room. Mr. Harris agreed to a search of his phone. Mr. Harris gave a voluntary statement to law enforcement. We have turned over at least six (6) eyewitnesses to the events in questions to law enforcement. We have turned over the text messages to law enforcement. We have suggested to law enforcement multiple locations from which they should secure video surveillance. We have provided law enforcement with information gathered from the Internet that this young woman posted on Sunday, after the alleged misconduct, where she is smiling and happy. There is no indication of any physical or mental trauma. We have previously indicated that we do not believe that Mr. Harris will be arrested or prosecuted. That is because of our experience and the facts of this case. He is not guilty of a crime and he did not mistreat this young lady in any way that night.

Time will tell.

I read that earlier today and thought his lawyer divulged too much. Less is better IMHO

 

[t-gator]

What. That is good news but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't. Why don't you read what I actually said.

Because I like. F~ ing with you !

 

[Munk]

I think he pretty much covered all his bases... Girl is a slut. Standard rape defense.

That being said I am glad Treon is still able to complete his online courses. I understand the football suspension, but from his classes without actually being charged is sort of ****ty IMO. If he didn't do it, and he was my boy, I would encourage him to find another school.

That's the one!

Can you show me where someone accused you of being glad that he transferred?? t-gator just told you to suck it, he didn't say you would be glad that he transferred. At least as far as I see.

Sooooooo......"Suck it."

But don't be glad about it?

Looks like Treon sees the big picture and understands that UF did the right thing. Machen's statemts will not effect his legal battle, but only help him if exonerated. I would absolutely feel the same way if it were my boy.

 

[Alagator]

Maybe Treon could be redshirted. Or does he have to be injured?

Oh, Gawd. Don't start the redshirt debate again!

 

[TallyGator]

I thought the press release was pretty darn good and paints the best possible picture for Harris. Was surprised about the "sloppy seconds" aspect, but hell, I'm old and conservative. If all this is true, I suspect we'll be losing a female Gator athlete sometime in the near future who may never live this whole episode down.

Sometimes the best Defense is a good Offense. We could use that on the football field as well.

Maybe Huntley Johnson should be our new Head Coach.

He likes to win too much to take the Gator job.
