| Here we go again: Woman in Metrodome sex incident says she was victim |
| 2008-12-01 |
| MINNEAPOLIS - While police say a high-profile indecent conduct case in the Minneapolis Metrodome Saturday is closed, a Carroll woman involved in it told the Daily Times Herald she believes she was a victim of foul play rather than a willing collaborator. Alleged participant actually a victim according to alleged participant. Check. Lois K. "MILF" Feldman, 38, of Carroll, and Ross M. Walsh, 26, of Linden, were ticketed for indecent conduct after they were reportedly caught engaging in sexual activity in a Metrodome men's restroom handicapped stall during the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers game with the Iowa Hawkeyes. More than a dozen people in the restroom were cheering Feldman and Walsh by the time authorities arrived, a University of Minnesota Police report says. Women's fingernails scratching grooves along the outside upper edge of a public restroom stall door. Check. Feldman acknowledged drinking heavily before the game and says she doesn't remember being in the bathroom. Drinking heavily. Check. "I would never ever do that," Feldman said. "My kids are my life. I go to church every Sunday." Goes to church every Sunday. Hung over. And walking funny for reasons she cannot remember. Check. I'll bet next week's sermon is going to be chock full of side-glances and pregnant pauses. Ahem. Information obtained in police reports and during an interview with University of Minnesota Police Chief Greg Hestness revealed no suggestion or evidence that the incident was anything but consensual on the part of both Walsh and Feldman. But Feldman tells the Daily Times Herald she may have been drugged or otherwise victimized. Sounds like she left out ". . . and maybe not." "Everybody thinks something got put in my drink," Feldman said. By the hot-dog guy, perhaps? She offers no further details as to how that might have happened or who may have been involved. Not quite blaming the guy who was molesting her. Check. "Right, and that's Contacted this morning and asked if Feldman was planning to file a complaint or seek a reopening of the investigation in Minneapolis, Jeff Minnich of Carroll, Feldman's attorney, said he had no comment. [Personally, I think she's just going to try to "get it The Daily Times Herald sought to contact Walsh, but there is no phone listing with the address he gave police. An Avalon Security officer, Craig Andrashko, who was listed in the police report as the first witness to the incident, did not return a phone call. Check the local frat parties. But in the police report, Andrashko described what he observed as "sexual intercourse." Perhaps the lock jammed and he was just helping her over the stall door? Hestness said the case is closed by citation. When asked to respond to Feldman's suggestion that she is a victim of a crime, Hestness said: "All I can say is the actions went on for some period of time with many witnesses on hand and no one reported either party was objecting." Just wait a couple of weeks for the cell-phone video to show up on youtube and then decide what to do with them. Hestness said Feldman made no allegations to the officers at the scene about the incident being non-consensual. Musta forgot that, too. "If the implication is lack of consent due to intoxication, I guess that could be true for either party, however, they declined the officer's request to submit to an (alcohol test) so the extent of intoxication cannot be demonstrated," Hestness said. I'm guessing it was over 0.08%. Hestness largely talked about the incident in the context of the binge-drinking atmosphere at many college football venues. "We will be attending our annual Big 10 chiefs conference next month (in Iowa)," Hestness said. "I suspect this case and the flood of last summer will be big topics." The University of Minnesota has been without an on-campus stadium since 1980 when Memorial Stadium closed and the Gophers began sharing the Metrodome. The team will move into TCF Bank Stadium next fall with the opening game against Air Force. "The absence of public alcohol sales at our stadium per Big 10 standards will be a welcome change," Hestness said. So I guess it'll be a BYOB affair until further notice. |
