Eric TIllman victim of over zealous Police
Maybe I'm late to the game, but I was recently given some information about the whole Eric Tillman sexual assault bullshit. This information comes to me second hand but I do know the original source, who's step daughter is friends with 'the girl', and my source well enough to believe them both.
Apparently 'the girl' who Tillman allegedly assaulted was a babysitter, Tillman was at home from work early because of back pain. The 'assault' was apparently when Tillman put his hand in the girls pocket. Why would Tillman put his hand in a 16 year olds pocket, who knows, but in all likely hood it was something as innocent as placing the girls payment for babysitting.
Here's where things get wonky, for reasons unknown to me 'the girl' told one of her supposed friends, who in turn told her father who just happens to be a over zealous police officer. The police officer is the one that launched the complaint against Tillman, NOT 'the girl' or her family.
If all this is true, everyones opinions will differ on whether Tillmans action was appropriate or not, especially since we don't know for sure why he put his hand in her pocket. Regardless, if both 'the girl' and her parents don't want this case to proceed either the Police or the Crown should drop these ridiculous charges. Ridiculous not because Tillman is a hero to Saskatchewan sports fans but because if he can be prosecuted for a crime that the alleged victim isn't complaining about then it becomes open season on anyone who may be acquainted to any member of the opposite sex even if they're over the age of consent.

LEARN YOUR FACTS,IF TILLMAN IS GUILTY OF ASSAULT ON A YOUNG GIRL THEN HE IS A PREDATOR.WHAT KIND OF ROLE MODEL IS THAT?AS HE ALREADY PLEADED GUILTY THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP.
I will be so pissed off if Tillman is fired from being the GM. But what I hear is that he has already resigned.
This is too bad, since he did more for the Riders in 3 years than other people have ever done.
Why did he have his hand in a 16 year old girl's pocket in the first place? If he was giving her money for babysitting, just hand it to her like any other parent would have done. It doesn't take a genious to realize that is inappropriate behavior.
You were quick to post something without all the facts. The questions always was, why would Eric Tillman want to continue to live in a small city? Kids are mean and believe me, Eric did what was right for him, his wife and children. So what if he did so much in 3 years. If there absolutely nobody out there who will continue to do as good if not a better job. The person who wrote this was very over zealous!!!! Very judgemental..... let me just end this by being respectful!
