The accuser of Jonathan Taylor, the now former Alabama defensive lineman, has reportedly recanted her story, which will prompt the charges to be reviewed by authorities. Taylor was arrested Saturday on a domestic violence charge, which led to Alabama dismissing the player from the program the following day.
Tuscaloosa Police Department arrested Taylor after an accuser claimed a verbal confrontation between she and Taylor turned physical, which allegedly caused physical harm to the accuser’s neck and apartment property. Per Al.com, the accuser contacted police on Monday to recant her claims and told authorities she lied about some of the details regarding the incident. Police have charged her with false reporting to law enforcement and placed her in a county jail.
Taylor had been dismissed by Georgia last summer following an alleged domestic violence incident. Nick Saban decided to give Taylor a second chance and brought him into the Alabama program in January. Now, Saban has been forced to apologize for the situation. But if the charges are dropped, might there be a possible return to Alabama in the end? Alabama has already come down hard on Taylor, which would seem to make it difficult from a public relations perspective to welcome Taylor back. And that is assuming Taylor would want to return to Alabama.
For now it is simply best to let the legal process play itself out before making any guesses one way or the other.
