Title: Report: Pitino tells cops he paid for abortion
Post by: Ralph Wiggum on August 11, 2009, 10:12:46 PM

Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino told police he had sex and paid for an abortion for the woman accused of trying to extort him for $10 million, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported on its Web site that Pitino told police he had been drinking in a Louisville restaurant and had sex with Karen Sypher in August 2003. The police report said he denied allegations by Sypher that he raped her after the restaurant closed and at another time somewhere else. He said later he gave her $3,000 for an abortion.

Sypher went to police to report the rape allegations last month. A Kentucky prosecutor said the complaint she filed with a police sex-offense unit wouldn't be prosecuted because it lacked supporting evidence.

Sypher has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of trying to extort money up to $10 million from Pitino, who is married, and lying to the FBI.

This one gets me.  Paying for an abortion.  Words fail me.  Actually, that explains why he's not up in Carl's and my neck of the woods (Saratoga Springs, NY) now.

But, in Pitino's defense, the chick in question probably would look good with the beer goggles on.
