    UNI freshmen arrested for sexual assault

    CEDAR FALLS -- Two University of Northern Iowa football players have been arrested for sexual assault following an incident last week.

    Joseph Roy Thomas III, 18, of Lancaster, Texas; and Baylen Bernard Laury, 18, of Forney, Texas, were arrested Tuesday for second-degree sexual abuse.

    Thomas was also arrested for fourth-degree criminal mischief for allegedly throwing a rock at a home on West 22nd Street and breaking a window.

    This happened on the same morning as the alleged sexual assault.

    Both Thomas and Laury are roommates and are listed as freshmen on the Panthers' football roster. Thomas has three receptions for 26 yards in eight games this season.

    They are accused of sexually abusing an 18-year-old woman early Nov. 12.

    Bond was set at $100,000 each, and the were scheduled for an initial court appearance this morning.

    And here I thought our football team knew better than that....

      Let's hope the allegations are false. If not I say we do the anti-Alford and get them out of the program!

        Coach Farley hates it when his players get involved with the law in this way. Especially when it involves women. Hopefully, he'll kick these players off as soon as possible.

          This doesn't sound good, I hope these allegations are false, but I agree, they need to be shown the road if this is true. When there is smoke, there is usually fire...and I hope this gets taken care of quickly. I had high expectations for both of these young men.

Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                I'm sorry to say -- but the allegations aren't false. I know J.R. -- not very personally, but as a student, I have had some run-ins with him and I hate to say that I'm not surprised of the charges. Someone I know also heard about it from the UNI cops who dealt with the issue. I think it's very sad, but they should be off the team in no time. I know there was some question as to whether Laury played on Saturday since his name is listed on the participation chart, but that is also not accurate and will be taken care of. UNI football is too good for this kind of stuff.
                "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                  Absolutely correct. It's Western Illinois sh*t.

                    Oh my goodness, that is WAY too funny. But yes, these guys need to be shown the door. My faith in Coach Farley tells me that I think he'll do the right thing, too.

                      I'll make it unanimous. If the charges are true, and it sounds like they are, then these two should be shown the door immediately and have their scholarships taken away.

                        They have been suspended indefinately pending the investigation. Thought you would want to know that Farley is taking the right approach to this.
                        If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                              There has been no news on this since the last newspaper article about 4 months ago or so.
