A michigan fan I know down here is, of course, singing the praises of lewan and claiming all the "reports" about him are made up.

Does anybody have some links handy that I can use to prove him wrong? He claims there is no police report either about the statements the teammates gave in regards to lewan threatening to rape the girl.

Please help out. Our hatred of michigan unites us all, so the more damning...the better.

Wait- where's the mention of lewan in the police report? I couldn't find any?

Is there a reference to him threatening the rape anywhere?

They'll have to have his name redacted from the police report. That won't be anywhere on the webz.

Yeah, I get that. But I think that report was just of Gibbons and the rape of the girl...no report about lewan.

Am I just missing something?

Here is probably the best article I found summarizing the whole incident
Latest details in Michigan rape case leave unanswered questions - College Football - George Dohrmann - SI.com

Basically it was Douglas Smith, former Michigan Professor, that took interest in the case and pushed the issue with Michigan's Board of Regents in 2011. Link below is to his comments at that meeting. (He does not specifically mention Lewan by name)
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fannarborchronicle.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F11%2FComments-for-the-Regents-Meeting-1117111.pdf&ei=pi1tU-vrL4KmyASL84GwCg&usg=AFQjCNGL8QOjdvtOS2j_SQsMoA9thoBPVw

After those comments became public, the victim reached out to Mr. Smith via Facebook (see Sports Illustrated Article Link above ) and I'm guessing that is when Mr. Smith got a few more details including the name of the person that made the threats.

Here is a quote from another article as to what Mr. Smith was told in regards to why Lewan was never charged.
The red flag report: Taylor Lewan | National Football Post

With regards to the threat allegations, Smith said, "With regard to why there were no charges brought against Lewan for threatening the rape victim, I was told by UM Police Chief Robert Neumann (at the time he was a lieutenant), that he discussed bringing charges against Lewan with the prosecutor’s office but he was told that in order to charge him with intimidating a witness there had to be an underlying felony charge and since rape charges were not filed against Gibbons, they could not charge him with intimidating a witness (Neumann told me he had notes on the conversation but when I submitted a FOIA request for the notes the University told me there were no notes)."

Day late and a dollar short, but there's this article:

The Michigan athletic department – and football team in particular – are an embarrassment to intercollegiate athletics, and the people running them need to be fired immediately. In November 2009, then-freshman kicker Brendan Gibbons was accused of rape by a female student. Gibbons’ roommate, All-American LT Taylor Lewan, then committed an additional crime by threatening to rape the woman himself if she pressed charges against Gibbons. What’s even more damning is that two fellow football players reported Lewan’s threats to the police themselves, but nothing was done by anyone in the Michigan program to punish these players.
