So I took some time looking into the Josh Sills case for an #FFLegalUpdate and I've come to a couple conclusions.

1 - The details of the case are both horrifying and can be triggering.
2 - He's not really fantasy relevant.

1/

As a result I think I'm going to keep this one short.

Sills has been indicted on two First Degree Felonies in Guernsey County Ohio.

Those felonies are: Rape, Kidnapping

O.R.C Sections 2907.02(A)(2) & 2905.01(A)(2)

A couple important notes on those statutes...

- Rape can be by force OR threat of force, so showing actual force is not necessary

- Remember when I explained burglary? People think it means to steal property. That's not always true. The crime of Burglary usually means entering an occupied structure to commit a felony (which is often theft related, hence the connotation of the word).

4/

- Kidnapping is similar. It doesn't mean snatching up a child. It means restraining someone's liberty & in this case they've used the part of the statute where it is for the purpose of committing a felonious act. Both of these offenses carry significant mandatory prison time.

I don't believe it's important or necessary to go into the details of the case, but what Sills is alleged to have done is not pretty and he could be in a lot of trouble.

This kind of case, as I always talk about, is tricky for both sides. There is rarely much physical...

...evidence and often the case turns solely on the testimony of the parties. That makes it extremely unpredictable.

I'll stay tuned for any fantasy implications, but the case is likely to take a long time and I'm not sure we need to worry about Sills for what we do.

Thanks for tuning in for another #FFLegalUpdate!

Stay tuned for more updates on Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook coming soon.

Have a great rest of your week and enjoy your weekend!
