Wonder why an 18 year old girl would agree to take a trip with a guy who treated her as she claimed Ribeiro had?
Think back. Remember what 18 year old girls are like? There you have it.

I have tried to do that but I guess I just grew up with smarter people??
Absolutely...... IF the charges are false.
If not, he's one creepy mofo, unfortunatley he kinda "looks" the part.
Look, even if the charges are false, he is one creepy mofo. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Ribiero is a scum bag, has been a scum bag and won't change. I believe the PA should suspend him from play until this court case is settled. I was so happy we got rid of him when we did, and I'm even more happy now.
Oh ya that would be some PA..... really have they boy's backs!
You've GOT to be kidding me?
I wonder how much DM knew about Ribs and this situation. Cutting him was the right thing to do because people like Ribs have skeletons in the closet. There might be more then this one girl that come forward with accusations now.
With this hanging over his head, I don't see how anyone signs him this year. If this plays out in court, it will take until next year some time to go through the system. I would suspect Ribs attorneys will try and settle this quickly, if they think there is no chance of Ribs being signed this summer. Even with a settlement, what NHL team would sign him these days with all the problems the NFL has had with player conduct.
I hope the NHL takes a stand or nobody signs him under any circumstances.
That's outside of the context of the article, I didn't realize you were just talking about his indiscretions in general. My point was nothing in the article says he admitted to any of the allegations.He admitted to day drinking, partying all night, and using drugs during the season. He admitted to cheating on his wife several times. He admitted to mailing it in and just wishing the season over as a Coyote and being a no show for a team paying him millions.
If you're 22 years old and want to drink and do drugs day and night and be a horrible employee at your job as a waiter at Chilis and cheat on your stupid girlfriend, I'm not going to hate on you. God bless you young man, live it up. That's what I'd say.
If you're a highly paid professional in his 30s with a wife and children and a ton of people counting on you? That's different. You're just a scum bag piece of ****ing ****. That's the end of it.
I read this, so basically he's saying he was drinking and he probably did it.admitted that he did not doubt [the nanny's] account
He seems like he's probably a sociopath because he always is admitting to things and just doesn't care who knows it or the repercussions of his actions.
I don't remember reading that at all and a quick search for "father" or "dad" turns up nothing from that article. If you have another source you should post it.Didn't the article mention her describing ribeiro's acts not being 'as bad as her dad' s'? Once a girl has been exposed to ****** male role models, it's going to affect her judgement with every dude she meets. For all we know she may have spent her teenage years expecting all guys to act like pigs. Happens all the time.
Just because you've been a selfish ****** bag in the past, doesn't mean you're also likely to be a rapist.Look, even if the charges are false, he is one creepy mofo.

Innocent until proven guilty.
I was waiting for one of you men to make this kind of statement....You're actually quoting the nanny's account, not Riberio's. He did not admit to anything, those are her words. I don't know if they're true or not but there's a lot of incentive for her to lie as you can bet she's looking to get paid!
Believe me, all the money in the world doesn't take the mental anguish away from rape and/or assault. It does help pay for therapy.

Tamara knew that [nanny] had been abused by her brother for a long time when she was
little. At the New Years Eve party, Tamara told [nanny] that what Mike did was not as bad
as what [nanny]’s brother did, so she should just “get over it”.
Well then you finally got what was coming to you.I was waiting for one of you men to make this kind of statement....
The papers are littered with stories of women attempting to exploit men by claiming rape, in particular men with money. A rich professional athlete who has made questionable life style decisions in the past is the perfect mark. If he really did it then of course he should face repercussions but accusations does not make it fact. Ironically you're the one making assumptions here (and being a bit of a sexist to boot). Women are not always the victim, the prevailing mentality that they are needs to stop. Truth...truth is all that matters!Why is it when a woman gets sexually assaulted (alleged in this case) men assume she was asking for it, lying, making the story up or in this case, out for money.
Oh get over yourself, it's not like anyone here is minimizing rape.Until YOU have someone assault YOU, YOU have NO IDEA what it is like to have your dignity, self esteem, self worth taken from you in a most vile way.
That's why you seek out truth instead of making assumptions. We don't know if she was victimized or if she's an opportunist. Investigate, try to find the truth and then act accordingly.Now some of her story seems a bit shady, but she sounds to me like someone who doesn't have the education for any other line of work. Maybe she is an au pair or illegal?
Exactly, that's why we're supposed to have due process instead of witch hunts.A druggie, cheating, lazy slob of an SOB is one thing, but rape is a whole different ball game.
Ah ok, that explains why I couldn't find a reference. Anyway if true it certainly could indicate why her threshold for inappropriate behavior may be skewed. Also if those comments are true then it sounds like Ribeiro's wife is a real piece of work herself. Not that we should be surprised by that considering she willingly married Mike Ribeiro! hahaMy bad, it was her brother, not her dad. I read it too fast. It's item # 30 of the original petition. My comment still applies though.

There's definitely a digital lynch mob mentality that has become pervasive in today's society and we really need to put a stop to it. Moral outrage is a disgusting little habit!Social media is the modern "pitchfork and torch" store.
