Dennis Gave Details to Mother

Suspended USC back said he was at location of alleged assault but did nothing wrong.

By Gary Klein, Times Staff Writer

The mother of suspended USC running back Hershel Dennis said Thursday that her son acknowledged that he was at the location early Monday morning where an alleged sexual assault took place but that he had done nothing wrong.

According to law enforcement sources, Dennis is the focal point of a Los Angeles Police Department investigation that may involve a member or members of the top-ranked Trojans, who begin their season against Virginia Tech on Aug. 28 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.

It is not clear what role Dennis played in an alleged incident at a complex near campus where players were housed during training camp.

Dennis, a junior from Long Beach who rushed for 661 yards last season, was removed from practice on Tuesday morning by Coach Pete Carroll and has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.

Rose Teofilo, the player's mother, has attended Trojan workouts almost daily during the last two years, but she had missed the team's morning practice and was unaware that Carroll had removed her son.

Teofilo said she learned of the police investigation late Tuesday afternoon when she saw a news report on television that showed the Trojans at practice. Her son was asleep on the couch, but Teofilo said he awoke when she began wondering aloud about the report.

"I said, 'What's going on? What happened here?' " Teofilo said. "He just said, 'Oh, I think they're talking about me, Mom.' "

Teofilo said Dennis told her that a woman he had dated was at the housing complex a few hours after the Trojans' evening scrimmage, and that the woman had been drinking. Teofilo said Dennis told her the woman had vomited and that he had set her down to sleep on a bed.

The investigation, which is being conducted by the Robbery-Homicide Division, Rape Special Section, began after a woman who attended the gathering at the Cardinal Gardens complex reported a sexual assault to the LAPD's South Bureau. At least 14 people associated with the football team were present at some point during the gathering, where marijuana and alcohol were being used, law enforcement sources said.

Teofilo said that she had not spoken to Dennis — the youngest of her five children and her only son — since Tuesday evening but was confident he would be cleared.

"I feel strongly he's going to be OK," she said.

Teofilo said she tried reaching him by phone and would wait until he calls.

"I pray to God to help me, to give me the strength to go through a situation like this," she said. "It hurts. He's my baby and the love of my life."

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,

The Bathhouse boys ... 14 of 'em or so ... bust Pete Carroll's 11 PM curfew to attend a nice little

POT PARTY ... with plenty of drunk groupie "hoes" ...

one (the victim) drinks too much ... barfs and gets put to bed by this animal Herschel Dennis ...

a gang-bang ensues and we have the LAPD Rape squad involved

The 14 who attended will be positively identified ... and forced to give DNA

and the Rapists ... once the victim has been swabbed for DNA ... will be brought to justice

MY-MY-MY ... now there's a program and people with true character :dis:

BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR USC ... DNA implicates only one or a few of the attackers and additional minor charges are dropped against the rest for disclosure of who did the actual "poking".

Either way ... this team is going downhill fast ... what a way to represent your university :dis:

:nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope:

Dennis has been suspended from the team indefinitely

According to law enforcement sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the alleged assault occurred early Monday morning at a complex near campus where players were housed during training camp. At least 14 people associated with the football team were present at some point during a gathering where marijuana and alcohol were being used, the sources said.

One USC player said he was playing dominoes with others in the apartment when Dennis arrived with a woman Dennis had previously dated. The player said Dennis and the woman went into another room for part of the evening.

The woman reported an alleged assault to a rape-crisis team in the LAPD's South Bureau, which sent the case to the special section when South Bureau personnel realized the nature of the case and who might be involved.

Law enforcement sources said Dennis was the player the alleged victim named in an interview with police about the alleged assault.

After USC's afternoon workout Wednesday — a walk-through that preceded the team's departure by bus to a downtown hotel — Carroll said he had not been informed of the status of the police investigation.

Asked if any of his players had been questioned by police, Carroll said, "I don't know of anybody that's been requested to be talked to at all yet."

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Playing dominoes ... ~T~H~A~T~Z~ ~R~I~C~H~

 

What about the other 13. Is this another one of these obvious cases that the police in Califonia can't solve. Shouldn'f all 14 be suspended at the same time. I Believe some of them must be more critical to the sucess of the team.

 

Drinkin', dope-smokin', pukin', group sex.....sorry I missed the party. :lol:

 

Was this at a bathhouse or Marcus Vick's house?

 

You guys are still assumming the victim was a girl, with USC it very well could be a guy.

 

Yeah, but it does say "brought a woman he used to date into another room."

 

She could have been a transvestite??? Or does that make it a he

I'm sure that would have excited the bathhouse boys of Southern Cal.

 

Wow.

Maybe we should rename that USC-Va. Tech game "Gangsta Bowl 2004"

(PS-Was Marcus Vick at the party? Nah, the girls were too old for him...)

 

Maybe she had gender reassignment surger and was post-op.
