Remember when Larry Phillips dragged that poor girl by hair past Tom Scumbag Osborne, and Tom just looked the other way?
Remember when Tom decided to keep Riley Washington on his team despite credible allegations that he murdered someone?
Remember Christian Peter, and the laundry list of women he sadistically tortured under Dr. Tom’s watch?
This sent me down a great Wiki wormhole on Peter:
Arrests and convictions
While attending Nebraska, Peter had several run-ins with the law for various offenses such as threatening a parking attendant while his vehicle was being towed, trespassing, public urination, refusing to comply with police, minor in possession of alcohol, and failure to appear in court. He was convicted four times.
[3][4]
In 1993 Peter was accused of groping Natalie Kuijvenhoven (a former
Miss Nebraska) in a crowded bar. He pled guilty and was sentenced to 18 months probation, and was suspended for a 1993 exhibition game. Following the 1993 charges from Kuijvenhoven, Kathy Redmond, who attended the University of Nebraska with Peter, came forward and claimed that Peter had sexually assaulted her during their freshman year in 1991. No criminal charges were filed in the matter, but Redmond did file a
Title IX suit against the University of Nebraska in 1995; the suit was settled out of court.
[3]
In 1994, only a month before the draft, Peter was convicted of disturbing the peace after a woman accused him of grabbing her throat in a
Kearney, Nebraska bar. He said he was under the influence during the altercation and admitted to responding in an inexcusable way after she had called him a rapist.

Professional career[edit]
Peter was
drafted by the
New England Patriots in the fifth round of the
1996 NFL Draft. The pick set off a firestorm of criticism from the Boston area press, including Patriots fans and women's groups, as well as
Myra Kraft, wife of Patriots owner
Robert Kraft.
[3] After learning more about Peter's history, the Patriots relinquished the rights to him only a week after the draft. The team said that Peter's behavior was "incompatible with our organization's standards of acceptable conduct."
[6] According to
The Boston Globe, Myra Kraft personally demanded that the Patriots cut ties with Peter.
[3] It was the first time in NFL history that a drafted player had been waived by a team before the start of training camp. Partly due to the backlash, no other team expressed interest.
