Note to Nate Miles – No Always Means No!

Freshman Nate Miles formally from the University of Connecticut, who was expected to play a key role for the Huskies this season was expelled for an alleged assault on a female student.

Miles is being accused of becoming physical and trying to pressure the alleged victim into sex.

What make this story amazing is that the 20-year-old, 6-foot-6 swingman from Toledo, OH was issued a restraining order on Sept. 22 and violated it 16 minutes later by placing a call to the alleged victim!

According to a story by Mike Anthony in the Hartford Courant, “At Superior Court in Rockville Tuesday, Miles answered felony charges of violating a restraining order and was referred to the court’s family relations staff for counseling. That could lead to the criminal case being dropped if he does not get into further trouble.

“But the UConn administrative board, which generally consists of one or two hearing officers who are university officials, found that Miles’ alleged transgressions warranted expulsion.”

UConn coach Jim Calhoun and the athletic department could not be reached for comment due to the school’s privacy policy.

This is an unfortunate story for everyone involved. Reports are that Miles had an unstable upbringing, attended five high schools and was in and out of trouble. But yet he was talented enough to get a free ride to UConn.

But a troubled childhood is not an excuse for anyone to force themselves on a woman.

So far, no charged have been filed in the alleged abuse case, which will be continued on Nov. 25.

Miles has been banned from campus and has moved out of the dorms. He will live with his mother, who he as had a limited relationship with in Toledo. This comes just 70 days after Miles enrolled at UConn.
