After a second allegation of sexual battery and false imprisonment and subsequent arrest against LaDarrius Jackson, he has, thankfully, been kicked off the USF football team.
Jackson was previously suspended from all team activities after the first arrest.

According to the Tampa Bay Times report, Jackson repeatedly asked the female to “shower with him” at her Hillsborough County home on March 27 and she kept refusing his advances and tried to leave the bathroom but Jackson blocked the door.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Jackson turned himself to the Orient Road Jail at 12:22 p.m. Wednesday, was booked at 12:47 p.m., and was released at 1:50 p.m. He previously spent three days in jail for his first arrest.
We’re now dealing with an alleged sexual predator here, and he spent all of an hour and three minutes in jail. If USF hasn’t trespassed him from campus at the very least, it’s time to take action. Don’t wait for another victim to come forward — or God forbid, for someone new to be victimized.
