Spur PosseThe Spur Posse was a group of high school boys from Lakewood, California, who used a point system to keep track of and compare their sexual conquests. The group came to national attention on March 18, 1993, when police arrested a number of the members for various sexual crimes. Prosecutors later dropped all but one of the charges after determining most of the encounters were consensual. Members of the Spur Posse proceeded to make the rounds on the tabloid-TV talk-show circuit. The founder of the group chose the name Spur Posse when a favorite player - David Robinson (basketball player) - was signed to the San Antonio Spurs. The Spur Posse events are often compared to two other teen sex scandals of the era - the alleged rape of a mentally challenged girl in 1989 by four popular jocks in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and the 1996 syphilis epidemic among teens engaging in group sex orgies in tony Rockdale County, Georgia.
