Former NFL Cheerleader Sexually Assaults 12 Year Old

At a party last month, former NFL cheerleader Elizabeth Garner followed a 12 year old boy into the bathroom and grabbed his penis and tried to remove his shorts so she could perform oral sex on her. According to TMZ, Garner says she was drunk and had confused the 12 year old with an adult at the party even though she specifically asked the 12 year old if he had ever been with a woman. The married Garner has been charged with attempted sexual battery after the boy told his mom what happened and she called police. Garner stopped cheering for the Titans in 2009.

      @just curious - he didn't. He couldn't care less about women, especially of the adult variety. He's too busy playing Minecraft and Pokemon and planning a run for student body president.

      Also, from my perspective, that chick looks like a man, baby.

      No,as in recognizing women for who they are and not what they're romanticized to be.
      This GArner chick treated this boy less than human,not her equal and a lesser creature and to satisfy her ego .

      Off topic,but men always stress to daughters about what guys to avoid but never teach that lesson to our sons when it comes to females.
      Every woman isn't a lady. You give a woman the same respect that you give a man: only what they deserve.

    I would wager heavily that she herself has been a victim of sexual abuse and/or incest at an early age and the alcohol provided the trigger.

    In no way excusing her behavior as this is reprehensible...but trying to shine light on the likely causative factors. Of course the truly sad thing is that it often causes a new branch of evil to sprout.

    @CB3 - easy to say that now. When I was twelve my older brother threw a party and some of his female friends thought it would be fun to get me drunk (on Strawberry Hill - shout out to my Boone's people) and mess around with me (just making out and letting me explore their naked boobs). At the time it seemed kind of awesome, but now I realize it screwed me up. I was not emotionally ready to deal with that, or to deal with losing my virginity and becoming sexually active when I was 14. Twelve year-olds are children. It is not okay to sexualize them or push them toward sexual behaviors. They aren't equipped to process it like adults are and it WILL fuck them up royally (i.e. they will confuse sex and love for a long time, especially if they are children of divorce or abuse). So stop talking out of your ass and trying to be all 'manly'. It ain't cute.

      @plokzy - "Funnily enough, this is what really struck me about Zappa and what I remember the most from all that was taught to us about the man: his insistence on letting things be. One’s life did not have to be shaped, and Zappa was very aware of the evils of doing so. He hated norms and status quos, and he hated being told how things had to be “properly” done regarding how to live one’s life. To Zappa, there is no mold that we must all be made from; we are not products of a cookie-cutter society. We are all different and unique individuals, and all have to live the life we want to life, mistakes and all, in order to find ourselves and fully be the developed individuals we want to be."

      Clearly the only way I can feel that way is if I am somehow not interested in women. Zappa would SO agree with you on that one.

    It's good to see a woman being treated as seriously as when a man does this for once. I hate it when people act like it's nothing but "yay, score!" when an adolescent male is assaulted by an adult female.

    As Lucas describes it so well (as usual), this is not something an adolescent boy can process. Not sex, and certainly not sex with an adult.

Maybe he's shy. Maybe he doesn't want some older woman touching his junk.

    Look at all the teacher/minor student sexual assault cases (there seems to be a new one every day). In the vast majority of the cases a male teacher is punished much more harshly than a female teacher. Especially if the female is a white, remotely pretty female.

    I'll bet she shows up in court dressed modestly and gets the minimum.

    A 42-y-o guy, especially a black man, who tried the same stunt with a 12-y-o girl would be dead meat.

    I would rather have a mom who stood up for me than one who worried about being teased. Since this woman obviously cares about her son, I am sure they will get through it. Who cares what others think. Kids only tease when they think they can get a reaction. Letting you kid know you are there for them goes so much further than hiding skeletons in the closets. I think secrets do far more damage.

    I have a friend who is a GP. She has to tell the police if she suspects something is going on. When her brother molested her daughter (his niece), her mother (the grandmother)wanted to cover it all up. She said no as it would be hypocritical. After the initial shock and the subsequent counseling was dealt with by all, it has become a non-issue. She has grown in to a strong young woman. She also knows she is very loved. That sort of foundation can go a long way to making good healthy choices.

    Back in grade 5, I remember most boys being far too involved in their games to bother the girls.

    "So stop talking out of your ass and trying to be all 'manly'. It ain't cute." I never made any such comment. I simply stated that I would not stopped her and went and told my mom. Just like you did not stop the older girls and go tell your mom. I never glorified or encouraged anything. You are the only person who felt the need to share their sexual experiences.

    @CB3 - I acknowledged in my original post that at the time I thought it was cool. Now, 26 years later, I realize it wasn't cool. And as a parent of a boy that age I hope he doesn't find himself in that situation and if he did that he would tell someone. And by saying "I'd be telling my friends forever" you make it sound like it'd be all wonderful to have someone who is just about old enough to be your grandmother try to blow you in a bathroom. I disagree. Big difference between a couple of 16 year-old girls and someone 4 times your age.

    Sexual assault is not right, not funny and most definitely not acceptable. But it is about power. She probably thought it would be fun to intimidate a boy and in turn make her feel superior. Maybe men her own age didn't like her stumbling, drunken ass pawing them so she needed some 'reassurance'.

  59. BoredAtty4:41 PM

    Just a few thoughts to add on this. If you think a teenage boy would not be scarred by this type of sexual encounter, you are definitely wrong. If this type of encounter was this boy's first experience with sex, it would leave him confused and could affect how he views or conducts his sexual relationships in the future.

    As to those who are saying she is a pedophile and should be killed, locked away forever, etc., a question to ask is whether she had ever engaged in type of behavior before. Pedophiles are defined mostly by their exclusive attraction to pre-pubescent children. If this was a one time thing, this does not excuse her behavior and she should suffer legal consequences for sexual assault. However, a better question to ask is whether she has some form of untreated or under-treated mental illness. Bipolar disorder during a manic phase can present itself through hypersexuality, lower inhibitions and poor decision-making ability. Throw in some alcohol, a few psych meds and you could have a woman who made an extremely horrible mistake, not a sexual predator. I'm not excusing her conduct, just trying to add some context to what may have happened.

    Wow, this post sure took an interesting turn while I was watching NCAA basketball.

    It doesn't matter how sexually mature the guy is, or how attractive the woman is - unwanted, unexpected sexual attention can be just as damaging to a male as a female. It frightens me that some people don't get this concept.

    My husband played junior hockey. In junior hockey, if you play away from home you are usually billeted with a local family. The first night he was in one such home he woke up to find the lady of the house - the mother of a teammate, no less - standing in his bedroom, wearing lingerie. You can figure out why she was there.
