READ: Statement from Liberty University Confirming Jesse Matthew Was Student and Football Player

Posted on by

Lynchburg, VA - ABC13 News has confirmed that Jesse Matthew was the suspect in an alleged rape that happened on the campus of Liberty University in 2002 while he was a student there.

Matthew was never charged in that case and Liberty University will not confirm whether that rape had anything to do with Jesse Matthew.

Lynchburg Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Chuck Felmlee looked up the Lynchburg police report and it showed that rape allegation was filed on that date against Jesse Matthew.

According to Felmlee there was no forensics evidence and no eyewitnesses.

The report indicates the rape allegedly happened behind the Vines Center, according to Felmlee.

After both Matthew and the victim gave statements to Lynchburg Police, Felmlee says ultimately the victim decided not to press charges against Matthew so he never faced any charges in that case.

This is a statement from Liberty University regarding Jesse Matthew.

Liberty University had a student by the name of Jesse Leroy Matthew enrolled from 2000 to 2002. This student was on the football team roster during the 2000 (redshirt freshman), 2001 and 2002 seasons. Based on information released by the Charlottesville Police Department, Liberty University can confirm that this former student is the same person arrested on Wednesday, September 24 on abduction charges. Liberty University and the Liberty University Police Department fully cooperated with requests for information from law enforcement agencies in connection with this matter. In light of federal student record privacy laws ("FERPA"), Liberty University is not providing further responses to your inquiries concerning Jesse Leroy Matthew. FERPA is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.

Regarding a report of sexual assault on Liberty University's campus in 2002, Liberty University Police Department maintains certain public records as required by the Clery Act. It maintains a public crime log. In 2002, the log was called the "Criminal Incident Log." The logs may be viewed in person at the Liberty University Police Department office upon request. They are not available online and are not electronically searchable. Below is a chart listing the nature, date, time, general location and disposition of all sex offences (forcible) reported on Liberty University's campus during 2002. Date Time Area Description Disposition 10/17/2002 0426 hrs. Vines Center Rape Report That October 17, 2002 incident was also incorporated into Liberty University's Campus Crime Reports for each year featuring 2002 statistics, also as required by the Clery Act. The October 1, 2003 Campus Crime Report is the first report with statistics compiled for reportable crimes during the 2002 calendar year and is available at the Liberty University Police Department upon request. That report is not on Liberty University's website. However, the data for 2002 is carried forward into the October 1, 2005 report. It can be viewed on page 4 of the PDF identified as the "2003 - 2005 Campus Crime Report" at the following link: http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=18240; The 2002 data is the same on the reports from 2003, 2004 and 2005. The Clery Act is the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Liberty University can also report that the October 17, 2002 rape report was investigated by the Lynchburg Police Department and it is documented with a report that is on file in the Lynchburg Police Department's Records Section (Incident # 2002071459). We understand the matter was also turned over to the local Commonwealth Attorney's Office. Questions regarding investigation and disposition of the matter should be directed to those entities.

Libertarian Party: Obama starts another war in violation of Constitution

Posted on by

President Barack Obama has taken the United States to war, now in Syria and Iraq, in violation of the U.S. Constitution just as he did in Libya in 2011.

Whatever differences they may claim, Democratic and Republican politicians are aligned when it comes to foreign meddling, said Nicholas Sarwark, chair of the Libertarian National Committee. President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush both resort to war in the end.

The president cites the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force to justify dropping bombs 13 years later. But its approval by Congress applied only to nations or groups that planned, authorized, committed or aided the 9/11 attacks. The Islamic State (IS) did not exist in 2001 and is an enemy of al Qaeda.

Even if the AUMF could be applied, the Constitution requires that Congress vote specifically on a declaration of war before engaging in military action. For the same reason, the 2002 Iraqi War was also illegal.

Last week, congressmen and women refused to vote on a war declaration. Instead they authorized funding to arm and train appropriately vetted Syrian fighters.

This is wildly reckless and irresponsible, said Sarwark. The old parties in Congress just spent $20 billion arming and training Iraqi soldiers, only to see U.S. military weapons land in the hands of the Islamic State. This new measure could end up arming future enemies in Syria as well.

Obama has admitted that IS presents no immediate threat to the United States.

The bigger threat is endless war and a heightened risk of terrorist attacks on U.S. citizens as a result of military intervention, Sarwark said.

The Libertarian Party and its candidates call for getting out and staying out of Iraq and Syria.

After years of political obscurity, libertarianism is finally having its day, at least according to The New York Times Robert Draper.

Libertarians, who long have relished their role as acerbic sideline critics of American political theater, now find themselves and their movement thrust into the middle of it, he wrote as part of the August cover for The New York Times Magazine.

According to Draper, shifting attitudes toward issues such as same-sex marriage, government surveillance, marijuana decriminalization, foreign intervention, military spending (though, attitudes seem to be swinging back toward interventionism in the weeks since Drapers article) and even reduced sentencing for minor drug offenders prove that the ideology once reserved primarily for third parties is emerging as a major force in American politics.

But while Drapers story focuses almost exclusively on the trends of national politics, as Tip O'Neill famously said, all politics is local. So whether or not Drapers assessment of the Libertarian Moment is correct (The Atlantics David Frum certainly doesnt think so), its worth considering the prospects of libertarianism in the state of Utah.

Regional politics

As far as definitions are concerned, libertarianism is typically understood to be the belief that government should interfere as little as possible in the lives of citizens. As an ideology, libertarianism can manifest itself in more organized capacities for example, an official Libertarian Party was founded in 1971 or as simply an ideological leaning within either of the existing major parties. Either way, those who claim libertarianism in either form are often uncomfortable with increased federal or state power, and hold self governance up as the standard for societal success.

In many ways, Utah seems like a prime state to accept a place in Drapers emerging libertarian America. In a 2013 article by The Washington Posts Reid Wilson, historian Colin Woodard outlined what he thought to be 11 American nations identified according to the unique political landscapes of all the major regions in America. The far West, according to Woodard, encompasses the Great Plains and the Mountain West, which includes Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Montana, as well as much of Colorado, Washington, California, New Mexico, the Dakotas and Nebraska.
