Wow! That's crazy. I hope he's okay.

Are we still calling him a BYU recruit? first he beats up a hooker after sex, now he gets shot, sounds like he's bringing some great culture to BYU. I would rather have BYU NEVER win another football game again than to bring this kind of trash into PROVO. What's next another drug fueled gang rape of a minor? Let's show some class and morals and uninvite this kid.

You do know that getting shot doesn't make you a bad person, right?

Did he really beat up a hooker after sex?

Let's show some class and morals and let this play out before we resume your witch hunt.

Charles tweet says he is fine. There's a video. The police have a suspect.

If only the sex with a hooker part is real, then I think Bronco would have already released him. For that matter all BYU students need an ecclesiastical endorsement. This all seems so strange.

This is one area where I have total confidence in Coach Mendenhall and he'll sift through this situation and if he doesn't feel like this is the right fix, he'll take care of it. I hope there can be something salvaged of this individual, but the media reports haven't cast a very favorable image on West being a good "fit" for the environment he'll find himself in at BYU.

Did you miss the article Broncobot? Provo • One of the biggest prizes of BYU's 2015 football signing class was arrested late last week and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony.

Charles West, a running back from Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas, was arrested on Friday, two days after Signing Day, for an incident involving a knife that occurred on Jan. 28 in the garage of his family's residence in Coppell, according to court documents and Coppell police Sgt. Sammy Lujan.

According to a court affidavit filed for the arrest warrant, West, 18, is accused of sexually assaulting the complainant, a female, who had allegedly been summoned to the home by West through a website that solicits escort and other services, with the expectation that she would receive $160 for the call.

The police report and court documents allege that West brandished a large silver kitchen knife in the garage after the pair moved from a bedroom because a family member had returned home. Court documents state that West placed the knife against the complainant's neck and demanded sexual favors, which she eventually performed after an attempt to defend herself with a "small dagger" she pulled from her boot was unsuccessful.
I'm glad you are into giving people the benefit of the doubt though. I'll make sure to introduce this misunderstood young gentleman to your daughter when he gets to campus.

So a prostitute (with a history of holding her customers up with ransoms like this) claims he didn't pay. BTW you failed to note it was West who called the police when the prostitute and her pimp tried to shake him down for some money.

He said, she said. The prosecution should be ashamed for letting it go this far if this is all the "evidence" they have.

Thanks for being willing to sit as judge, jury, and executioner though.
