TweetWTF this is bad for the sport. Craig Titis bad.
TweetSANDY, Utah — The current “Mr. Olympia” has been charged with raping a fellow bodybuilder who considered him a mentor.
Shawn “Flexatron” Rhoden, 44, was charged Thursday with rape, object rape and forcible sexual abuse.
According to court documents, Rhoden was visiting Utah from Southern California in October 2018 when a fellow competitive bodybuilder came to visit him at the hotel he was staying at in Sandy. She went to his room while the photographer she was with waited in the lobby.
The woman told police that Rhoden started kissing and touching her, despite her trying to push him away and asking him to stop repeatedly. He did not stop, but progressively continued touching her sexually, then raped her, according to a probable cause statement. Police say the Rhoden finally stopped and allowed her to leave after she told him her photographer was waiting in the lobby and would know that “something [was] up.”
She then contacted her husband and police, court documents state.
In the request for a warrant for Rhoden’s arrest, police included results from a sexual assault examination and a DNA test.
Rhoden is the current Mr. Olympia titleholder. Court documents state that the woman considered him a colleague and mentor.
A warrant was issued for his arrest; Fox 13 has not yet heard back from the Salt Lake County Jail whether he has been arrested yet.

TweetIt looks bad but everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

TweetI think it sounds fishy when a woman goes to a hotel room by herself to be alone with a man. Why not have the photographer go with her? Weird.

Tweetthat sucks bad but at least he is out and can afford top notch lawyers. the bad thing is that if he had sex with her, then he is done sir done. the woman will always win if they have proof of sex. his word against her word, the jury will go with her. i have personally seen a number of guys go down on the military side and in college as well. one of the prime examples of not being innocent until proven guilty but you have to prove your innocence from guilt. very sad situation for sure and if i was a high profile athlete or star i would have someone in my presence at all times when a female was involved. not a ton of money involved in bodybuilding but you know he is making good money as mr o.
i would venture to say that if her husband found out ant then she said it was forced, then it's a crock but we have to take her seriously. most of the people i have personally seen it happen to that alcohol wasnt involved it was because spouse found out, dad found out or they got labeled easy. then they make the claim. just speculating and that's not cool but is what i have personally saw before and none of my friends won their cases.

TweetWtf is up with a girl going alone to a hotel room to see a man. That alone has sexual connotations all over it. You tell them to meet you in the lobby, not in their room. Sounds fishy but ya never know. Plus, what guy forces sex on a girl against her will , knowing it could cost him 30 years in prison? Only a total dumbass would do that.
