Cleveland Anchor Found Not Guilty Of Rape And Kidnapping

((HT: Newsnet5/WEWS-TV Cleveland))

The HQ has reported on the case of now-former Cleveland sports anchor Terry Brooks since he was up on rape and kidnapping charges last August. A grand jury indicted Brooks on four counts of rape, four counts of attempted rape and one count of kidnapping.

The alleged victim told police that she and Brooks met for drinks at a bar back in September of 2009. She then claimed Brooks drove her back to his home and raped her. The woman didn’t report the alleged incident to police, however, until January of 2010.

During the trial, the alleged victim testified that she had three or four drinks and said she felt like she had no control during sexual acts that happened between the two. Brooks’ attorneys, however, argued the sex was consensual.

A Cleveland television sports anchor has been indicted on charges of raping a woman in his home.

Cuyahoga ((OH)) County prosecutor Bill Mason says WEWS-TV anchor Terry Brooks was indicted Wednesday on one count of kidnapping and four counts each of rape and attempted rape.

Brooks is accused of raping a 21-year-old woman in September at his home after they went to a sports bar together. The rape claim was reported in January. His arraignment is August 18th.

It's interesting to see how they covered one of their own in the blotter...


Brooks claims he's innocent and has been placed on leave...
And the HQ likes the disclaimer at the end...
Quite dramatic...
