Peyton Manning Ready to Prove Critics Wrong? | IB Times
Just a few months ago, Peyton Manning&#8217;s reputation was at stake. The veteran quarterback signed with the Denver Broncos after missing the entire 2012 NFL Season due to neck surgery.

He could have been up to 20 years in jail, but instead it will be 12. Here's more from the newspaper:Prosecutors said Webster had sex with the girl in 2009 when she was 15 and threatened to harm her if she told anyone. Webster admitted having sex with the teen the next year, when she was 16 -- the legal age of consent in Ohio.Webster's attorney, Gregory Samms, said in a telephone interview after court that his client will appeal the verdict and the sentence, both of which Samms said were &quot;excessive.&quot;&quot;He was overcharged for what actually took place, which was a consensual agreement between two people,&quot; Samms said. &quot;It was a consensual act and everything else was a fabrication.&quot;Webster played in the NFL from 2000-07, playing for the Tampa Bay Buc</description>

      <title>Ex-Bengals player sentenced in Ohio sex trial</title>
      <description>CINCINNATI (AP) -- Former Bengals linebacker Nate Webster was sentenced Wednesday in Ohio to 12 years in prison for having sex with the underage teen daughter of a former assistant coach for the Cincinnati team.

Webster, 34, was sentenced Wednesday In Hamilton County Common Pleas Court in Cincinnati. A jury convicted him in April on four counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and he could have been sentenced to up to 20 years.

Jurors in April found Webster not guilty of three other charges: gross sexual imposition, sexual battery and a fifth count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Prosecutors said Webster had sex with the girl in 2009 when she was 15 and threatened to harm her if she told anyone. Webster admitted having sex with the teen the next year, when she was 16 -- the legal age of consent in Ohio.

      <title>Report: Nate Webster found guilty</title>
      <description>Former NFL linebacker Nate Webster was found guilty in Ohio on Wednesday of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

Webster, 34, who last played for the Denver Broncos in 2008, was indicted in June on charges of sexual battery, gross sexual imposition and five counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a 15-year-old girl.

After deliberating six hours over two days, the jury found Webster guilty on four of the five counts of unlawful sexual conduct, while returning a not guilty verdict on the remaining charges.

Webster faces up to 20 years behind bars, according to The Enquirer. He will remain locked up until his sentencing on June 6.

Prosecutors said Webster was a friend of the young girl's family and that he threatened her at gunpoint to keep quiet. The incidents were reported to have taken place between June and December 2009.

Webster was hired as the defensive coordinator at Bellevue High School in Ohio in 2010.

      <title>Nate Webster Has An Important Recollection About That Teenager He Slept With</title>
      <description>
Nate Webster, a linebacker who most recently played with the Broncos in 2008, had a fling with the babysitter back in 2009. This is a problem beyond just general creepiness of sleeping with a girl roughly half his age, as he was 31 years old at the time and he told authorities that the girl was 15. Not S-M-R-T, given the age of consent in Ohio, where the incident occurred, is 16. So naturally, Webster&#8217;s lawyers are saying that he merely had problems remembering that she had juuuust turned 16 before the sex happened. Like, possibly minutes before. Luckily, the threat of 30+ years in prison seems to have jogged Webster&#8217;s memory a bit.
Webster was chided by the girl&#8217;s father, Tieger said, for not paying her for babysitting. When he did, he started the sexual relationship, the prosecutor added, and threatened to kill her and her family if she told. &#8220;As time went by this became a full-fledged secretive relationship,&#8221; Tieger said.
Well, we found the only thing worse than being paid in Tr...</description>
