Daily Mail<\/a>: The Hollywood director who has described being tried for rape as ‘one of the most painful moments’ in his life repeatedly changed his story and dismissed his accuser’s pleas for help dealing with her trauma her with the words, ‘s*** happens’.
\nThe revelation comes in court records of the trial of Birth of a Nation actor, writer and director Nate Parker, 36, and his then college roommate, now co-writer, Jean Celestin, 36.
\nThey were tried and cleared of raping another Penn State University student in Parker’s college apartment in 1999, where they had athletic scholarships as members of the college wrestling team.
\nBoth men were acquitted, while the women committed suicide in 2012.
\nNow court documents, seen by DailyMail.com, include transcripts of several telephone conversations between Parker and his accuser.
\nShe recorded them in the months following the night in question.
\nIn the emotional exchanges she begs for Parker to tell her what really happened that night, asks who else was involved and reveals that she is undergoing counseling for the alleged assault which she claimed left her with an STD and took place when she was ‘drunk beyond belief’.
\nThe alleged victim, who had also earned a scholarship to Penn State, dropped out of university in the wake of the case.
\nShe committed suicide in 2012, swallowing more than 100 sleeping pills. She was just 30 years old. On Tuesday Parker said he was ‘filled with profound sorrow’.
\nBut her family remains far from convinced by Parker’s sincerity.
\nA family member told Daily Mail Online: ‘We appreciate that after all this time, these men are being held accountable for their actions.
\n‘However, we are dubious of the underlying motivations that bring this to present light after 17 years.’
\nDaily Mail Online is not naming the alleged victim in keeping with her family’s wish to maintain her anonymity to protect her young son.
\nIt was Parker himself who chose to address the matter in a two-hour interview with Variety last week in an attempt to ‘get ahead of the story’ that threatened to cast a shadow over the forthcoming release of his movie and its Oscar campaign.
\nBoth Parker and Celestin were accused of raping the 18-year-old on the night of August 21, 1999, while all three were students at Penn State. The men stood trial two years later at Bellefonte Courthouse, Pennsylvania.
\nParker maintained that the intercourse was consensual but testimony contained in the court records of the trial shows that he altered his story three times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
