Shawn Rhoden - Legal Details from the Case - Shawn's Statement

[Vince B]

It’s a females perspective. And I can guarantee that most women agree with me.  A married woman going to Rhodens room late at night by herself was not how she is projecting. There is much more to what she is saying.

How people forget. Years ago all a married person had to do to prove adultery was to find his/her partner in a motel or hotel room with someone else. Just being there was proof of adultery or the intention to commit it.

A private detective was hired to confront the two in the room and photos and details taken. They didn't have to be in bed, naked or having sex. Just being there in a room with the door closed was sufficient.

So a married woman goes to meet a guy in a motel room by herself...what is her intention? Sell some supplements? Get an endorsement?

When this story first broke, the victim was said to be a female “bodybuilder”.

Based on that description, I thought that she was a roided out female bodybuilder... and Shawn may have been her drug supplier. Maybe he was bringing GH from California to Utah? And that would give her a reason to meet him at the hotel.

That was then. But now... I don’t think it was like that at all (obviously)

so are you saying you have never went to a married pro Bodybuilders room alone ? sorry but i know you are lying .

[Da Freak]

Why do you make absolutely everything about you? 

Thank god you're so worldly, wise and full of common sense.

booty is Matt's alter EGO.

Only thing a bit peculiar is that they had to wait for the DNA sample before the arrest. Sounds like Rhoden said they didn't have sex, as if he said they just had consensual sex they wouldn't have to wait 8 months for the DNA to come in for the arrest, they could just say the sex they had was alleged to be rape and arrest him. DNA would still be taken for trial purposes, but they had to wait for months for the DNA to come in, which sounds like Rhoden said nothing happened. Perhaps to protect his wife or something, but kind of troubling if Rhoden said no sex occurred to the police. Mike Tyson was arrested immediately after the rape complaint because he said he fucked the girl in the hotel consensually when cops questioned him. No waiting for DNA.  The laws are different about arrests in different states, but it sounds like Rhoden said no sex occurred.

Go to 1:06

Shawn received a call from his “wife”

Listen to his words

That video was 9 months before the alleged “rape”.

Wife called again with emergency at 28:59.

Rhoden would've likely given the DNA sample voluntarily. Not exactly something he would've done if he were guilty, and he knew about this since it happened because he told Aceto and Aceto told Palumbo, so they both knew something was in the works all these months.

Not exactly something a guilty person, especially rape, would've been doing, you'd think anyways.

He's obviously innocent. The person alleging the wrongdoing is sketch as hell. Once everything comes out I believe Shawn will be back as the only two time non-consecutive Mr. Olympia of all time. Beats the competition, and a rape charge. Not even Coleman, or Haney could say the same.

Franco Columbu would disagree on that, as he is 1976 and 1981 Mr Olympia

What rape charges did they beat?

[illuminati]

What rape charges did they beat?

No doubt given enough time & £ incentive
The Me# Too Brigade will drag something or other up
Against them.

Other than that they were non consecutive years winners.
HTH.

Didn't Vince Basile mention a supposed incident where Arnold allegedly raped a 16 year old girl back in the 70s?

Ahha yes sir well remembered he has indeed referenced such a thing about Arnold
Was it not in his Flat ?

Where’s Vince when we need him to clarify?

October 15th was the Set Preliminary Hearing

Innocent til proven guilty, he is a Mr. O as well. As part of the office of Mr. O shouldn't Shawn get the benefit of the doubt if the facts are not clear?

Absolutely - he is not in jail and the case is proceeding so he can take care of business

[AbrahamG]

If he can avoid raping anyone else between now and the trial, I like his chances.

The damage is done. Rhoden lost out on $400,000 after AMI disallowed him from competing. Add his legal fees on top of that, and you can see that his bank account took quite a hit.

True, but even with $400k lost, he’s ain’t going broke anytime soon

Rhoden has great delts. Every time they show him doing a lateral movement it's always with dumbbells. Do you ever see him use the various side delt machines or even cables?

[TheAnimal]

Any updates?

Its sort of weird to see people associating with a potential rapist on Instagram like nothing happened.

Shawn seems to be training out of Flex Lewis' gym Dragon's Lair

The only thing raped here was Rhoden's career

I'm sure that someone with the tech skills like Brother BB will be able to search the relevant legal systems and provide an update (hint hint  )

And I'm kinda hoping he finds that the whole thing has dissolved over time.  But if not, and this has been hanging over his head since all the way back when, that stinks

I would doubt this guy has much money. Just speculating of course.

Prize money does not go far, even Mr. O money. Taxes, drugs, living expenses, legal fee's, etc.
Any high paying sponsors for him these days?
Job? (LOL).

Just a guess of course, seems like a decent guy. No others have come out of hiding claiming METOO, so the bank-robber may be he only purported 'victim'.
Shs a scum-bag herself, so may be hard to believe her. And those circumstances, laughable.

Shane Hymas, 32, formerly of the Boise area, currently of American Fork, Utah, and Laurie Krechelle Hymas, 31, formerly of the Boise area, currently of American Fork, Utah, both pled guilty to Bank Fraud in April 2010. According to the plea agreements, on August 23, 2006, Shane and Laurie Hymas applied for refinancing on a loan in the amount of $104,500 for a residence in Star, Idaho. On their loan application, the Hymas's falsely stated they had a combined monthly gross income in the amount of $33,000 when in fact they had a monthly gross income of between $10,000 and $15,000. They also falsely represented that they had gross monthly rental income of $2,550 when in fact they had no rental income. Based on these misrepresentations, the funding on the residential loan was authorized. They each face a maximum sentence of thirty years in federal prison, a fine of up to $1,000,000, and supervised release of up to five years. Sentencings for both defendants are set for January 18, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge in Boise.

"Mortgage fraud and other irregularities in the housing industry contributed significantly to Idaho's and this nation's economic struggles," said Wendy J. Olson, United States Attorney. "These cases demonstrate again that federal and state law enforcement agencies and prosecutors will work together to bring to justice those whose lies undermine the integrity of the housing financing system."
