Youth accused of rape at Urban show
Sean Murphy was accused of raping the woman and both he and the woman were drinking during the show, Fox news said. One woman asked the tee if it were consensual and she said no, leading to police coming to the scene and arresting Murphy, who had run from the scene.
Fellow concert goers caught the incident on their cellphones. Fox News quoted a witness, ""My friend told me to look over there and there was a couple on the ground having intercourse. So we looked at it, and we took pictures and we thought it was consensual."
Murphy's lawyer had a different view. "Put simply, this was a consensual act, not a sexual assault," Murphy's lawyer said in a statement. "There are no allegations of force or violence against him. This was a private act that regrettably occurred in a public place. My. Murphy deeply regrets this incident and I am sure the young woman does as well. The young woman was neither intoxicated nor overcome by drugs at the time. My. Murphy has no criminal history whatsoever."
The concert resulted in many incidents of alcohol problems. More than 50 people were placed in protective custody and another 46 were treated for alcohol-related illnesses.
The Fox report also said that Urban posted a YouTube video after the concert where he said, "Gosh, up on the lawn tonight, that was nutso. It was so cool."
The video was apparently taken down.
