Rape isn't legal yet in Colorado for athletes. Apparently that's an intolerable situation for a lot of people:

The parents of the alleged rape victim whose lawsuit sparked the University of Colorado's football-sex scandal broke two years of silence Wednesday to blame CU for leaking excerpts from their daughter's diary.
