Yeah exactly what happened to Bryant, that girls boyfriend hated him for arresting him so he made up lies and look what happened to his family, its crap how they listened to the lies and arrested an innocent man on hear say and lies. Way to back up one of your own Dannels, you only cared about pleasing the scum and busy bodies of Coquille, to make you look good. Coos Bay Police should be sued too for lack of investigation, having a 17 year old solicite a older man, and bribing minors to say lies by telling them they wouldn't be charged with MIPS. Bryant was a 10 year vetern of police, he was on the Major Crimes Hit team, did his job with professionalism and by the book, he gave 100% to events like National Night Out and fundraisers for the community and he was a dedicated coach for kids in sports and look where it got him. It doesn't pay to be a good person, especially in Coos County/Coquille. They only cater to the criminals and busy bodies that don't know how to stay out of innocent peoples lives.

My thoughts are this incident NEVER happened. The student was probably bribed or something similar to get the coach out of the school. If it really happened, he would have NO problem going to court against her and testifying. I have been real close to cases similar to this and I see he just wanted attention or was a "challenge" by another student. This student should be brought up on false information charges (if there is a charge like that)

I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around " sexual abuse " charges being charged by this young man. I don't buy it. I think the charges were brought up by somebody else who had their own "agenda". The old " he bragged - he got tagged" bit. This young man was somebody's pawn in a vendetta against the coach for whatever reason. I think at 17-years old he was galled into being a reluctant participating witness being afraid that he was going to get into trouble. (which is typical behavior of victims of any gender) And I believe that after three years and probably some added life experiences of his own to reflect upoun that he decided he didn't have to participate in the legal action anymore. At 21-years old I think he made his own decision finally. I hate to bring up the obvious fact but for him to participate "unwillingly" would be nearly physically impossible. What do you think?

I got a great idea. Lets take all the ungrilled road kill in the last 3 years and do an investigation. Check for tire track marks to identify possible suspect vehicles. Then perform DUI tests on all the possible drivers of those vehicles for the last 3 years and submit them to the District Attorney for prosecution.

STANDUPGAL: They dont get it and never will. 1.Unless that 17 year old was mentally handicapped, (if it happened)he knew what was going on.
2.Three years later and no evidence, there should have been no police report. Nothing but a witch hunt and gross incompetence.

Here is a Bible quote for those of you want to keep persecuting her.

Wendi has been through enough, and it is time let her have her life back.

To Hey its ME:
I understand your point, but dirty laundry, that was not illegal, should not have been aired by the PD to make their case seem stronger than a report by a liar for which they had absolutely no evidence. This is only one reason the police report should be looked at with skepticism.
As was stated by one of the other posters, they tried to coerce others into admitting they had inappropriate contact with WEndi.
If everyone in Coquille or Coos County had their dirty laundry aired because they were arrested for a crime they did not commit, there would be many rich attorneys and many ruined people. Ruining someone's life to make a name for yourself, like the PD did, should not be tolerated.
Wendi now needs the chance to be able to get on with her life instead of continuing to be villified.
I believe in redemption not continued persecution when the woman is innocent. It is a shame the "victim" can't be a man and put the truth out there.

You all seem to have a very limited knowledge of the justice system. Chief Dannels does not decide who gets prosecuted. Officers made their own decision on an initial arrest, then the reports are all submitted to the DA. If the DA looks at them and says there is not enough evidence, he can decide not to file, make the officer investigate more, or take the case before a grand jury, or a preliminary hearing. All are designed to have a board review the case. Many more cases are dismissed due to someone not wanting to testify. It doesn't mean someone is guilty or innocent. Really, if you remember the OJ case, even a jury trial resulting in "found innocent" doesn't necessarily mean they are.

Stand up gal, there have been plenty of opportunities for us to be told the truth, but all we have is what is here. Some people are acting like she is some story book teacher/coach that has never done anything wrong. She has admitted to having relationships outside of her marriage and that is not helping her creditability at all.

I remember when I was 17....my hormones were raging and if a woman that age would have wanted to play I would have considered it a pleasurable experience not to be marred by a false accusation because the woman made me angry in some way. If his story was in fact true there would have been no problem taking a polygraph or appearing in court but evidently something is wrong somewhere.

coquillian wrote on Oct 27, 2009 9:29 AM:
If this were a 30 something man and a 17 year girl the comments would be totally different. If a girl who was abused decided not to testify, people would post that she was scared. I think this boy was scared, too. And maybe he really did not want to prosecute from the beginning, but just wanted to get something that he was uncomfortable with off his chest. I hope the DA publishes the entire report. And, now that it has been dropped I believe that ANYONE willing to pay a fee can have a copy. Bet there was more young men who did not talk, and she got away with it all.

You weren't there so you don't know what happened. Maybe this kid isn't a liar? He says he not lying. He can't be forced to testify if he doesn't want to. It was his choice to report what happened and also to have charges filed against her. He can say at anytime, I don't want to testify. Maybe he doesn't want to be forced to see her in court.

So i dont mean to sound negative - but what was this guy/kid thinking? I can call the cops, report something and then they will all leave me alone? On the radio it stated that he was tired of the police contacting him. I am sorry, but if you were REALLY violated as you say - you would be pleased that the police are actually doing their job for a change and following through. You would also want to give a poly to prove that you have been violated. I feel he needs charged with the tax money he wasted by the investigation that had to take place.

Hey Coquillian and Wow!
What nattering nabobs of negativity!!!
The two of you must be the most unhappy people in the world since you both seem to be equal opportunity bashers. JUst remember your Karma will catch up to you one day when you are least expecting it.
Carefree highway seems to hit the nail on the head.
Hey River Dog: If you know the "alleged" victim, then tell him to be a MAN and let everyone know who he is. I know him also, and he would not have kept his mouth shut for 5 minutes let alone 3 years.
He couldn't take a poly because two positive poly's by Wendi could not result in a positive for him. NOr could he have faced Wendi in court and lied. Maybe he has a conscience after all.
YOu might want to check with the Douglas County Polygrapher as he verified the questions that Wendi was asked. and she scored extremely high on both of them.

I hope you all check into the public record and see all that Wendi admitted to. Poly's aren't admissible for a reason. This boy was reluctant from the start of the case. However, you can't put a police report on trial and Wendi has the right to face her accuser. It's unfortunate that you all need the World to spell it out for you when the public record says it all.
River Dog wrote on Oct 25, 2009 8:06 PM:
Its amazing how so many of you on here are doing the same thing as you are blaming the CPD and DA of doing, guilty before you know the truth. I know both party's involved, was something going on? yes, what? dont know. But I am not going to pass judgement till I know the truth. Should have he done the test? yes. Yes she passed but what were the questions? Maybe she admitted to some stuff is why she passed. To much gray area for any of us to know, except for the two involved. Unless you want to believe what a lawyer says, then, well, I'm sorry.

I say full speed ahead with a lawsuit against the CPD and the DA.
This case was handled wrong from the beginning! Nobody deserves to be treated this unfairly. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Now this alleged victim is too scared to testify or take a lie detector test, oh you poor baby! You will never make it in this society and you need a major reality check. To Wendi and your family I really hope you all can overcome this and move forward with your life.

If he didn't lie, why was he so stressed. I will bet he didn't miss any work causing hardship on the family.
I bet he didn't have to give up any of his favorite things such as coaching and volunteering at the schools.
Since no one knew who it was, he didn't have to endure the stigma of such a horrible charge with finger pointing and other harassment from those that didn't know Wendi.
He didn't have to pay out thousands of dollars for a defense attorney.
He was under stress?????? I think not except that he knew he lied, and he would have been found out on the witness stand.
And unfortunately, there are no consequences for the person when they bring these kind of baseless charges agianst an innocent person. A word of caution to those of you that work with young people.
In many ways, Wendi was the VICTIM of an obvious witch hunt!!!

This is not a boy. He is 21 years old. Give me a break. His name should be out there after what he put Wendi through. HIs anxiety probably stands from the fact that he knew he was not telling the truth. Why would you be unwilling to take a poly if you knew you weren't lying?
In a he said/she said case, there cannot be two passed poly's. Wendi passed a poly in May and a second one in September. The DA said she would drop the case if Wendi passed one poly, but it took him refusing to testify before the case was dropped.
He obviously did not want to perjure himself, did he?

It is a shame that 2 families lives have been turned upside down because of media attention to an unproven, untried case. The alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator are both victims in the justice system called the media. There is no innocent until proven guilty when the allegation is tried in the media. It is a circus and a trashy one at that.

I think the WHOLE police report from A-Z should be published. There's a good reason why polygraphs are not admissible in court. Those who are really great liars do pass them. They are not an exact science no matter what anyone tells you. I feel for the victim, he really has been through hell.

Some one is guilty of something. The lady coach, the young man, Coquille PD or the Douglas County DA's office are the parties involved in this case.
The next step is to charge the kid with obstruction of justice and filing falso charges. See how that shakes out. If a conviction is obtained and any appeals are won by the state, then the kid was the guilty party and we can then close the books on the case with justice having been done.
If no conviction is obtained, then it will be time to move onto either a trial for the lady coach on the charges of sexual misconduct or the Coquille PD and/or the Douglas County DA's office for official misconduct.
Leaving this affair hanging is not justice. A mess has been made and it's time to clean it up 100%.

In general, once a person has taken the step to go to the authorities for justice in a case like this, if they are telling the truth, they have already done the hardest thing. Truth-tellers generally have an internal motivation to stick it out to see justice done. Liars on the other hand tend to freak out at the thought of a polygraph. Only God and these two people know the truth in this case, but making claims that destroy a reputation and then refusing the polygraph sure makes this guy look like a liar.
