    Alabama man in post-BCS video bonds out of jail

    NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jail officials have released on bond an Alabama man accused of committing sexual battery on an unconscious LSU fan after the BCS championship football game.

    Court officials say Alabama University graduate Brian Downing of Smiths Station posted a $10,000 bond Friday afternoon and was released.

    The 32-year-old surrendered to New Orleans police on Thursday night. He was booked on charges of sexual battery and obscenity.

    A video of the attack that went viral on the Internet is believed to have been taken at a fast-food restaurant after Alabama defeated the LSU Tigers on Jan. 9. A man clad in Crimson Tide attire appears to be performing a simulated sex act on the LSU fan.

    Downing's attorney declined to comment or have his client speak about what happened.

      This is just disgusting, but a lot of people blaming Bama for this man's behavior is wrong. All teams have their share of ignorant fans. Individuals are responsible for their own actions and it shouldn't taint or define a whole fanbase. I wish Bama the best. I hope the guy get's everything he deserves for his criminal behavior. From a Gamecock fan.

      It's called teabagging it's done in college all over the country as a funny prank when someone passes out. There is no sexual nature to it at all.

      "Sexual Battery"? Are you kidding me? The drunk idiot got Tea Bagged. Give me a break.

      Sour grapes because Alabama beat the hell out of LSU. That is pathetic to charge this guy with sexual battery. New Orleans? Your DA is a joke.
