The victim of the Chris Rainey incident has become the center of a media frenzy. The sister of the victim called 9-1-1 late Monday night after Rainey showed up to their home and continued to send threatening text messages to his on-and-off girlfriend of three years.
When the victim appeared in court just hours after his arrest early Tuesday morning, she said she never wanted Rainey to be arrested and that she didn't fear for her life.
Domestic Violence experts say the victim may be feeling the pressure of the media and the impact his arrest may have on the Gator football team.
