Third man, 18, charged with raping [WHITE] LSU sorority girl Madi Brooks, 19, released from jail after posting $150,000 bond: [BLACK] LSU president slammed for 'victim blaming' after her alleged rape and fatal 3am collision

A third man charged with the rape of LSU sorority girl Madi Brooks has been released from jail after posting $150,000 bond.

Former High School Varsity Football player Kaivon Washington, 18, was bailed out of East Baton Rouge prison on January 26.

He was charged with the third-degree rape of Madi, 19, after she died when she was hit by a ride-share car at 3am after the group dumped her on the side of the road.

A 17-year-old boy, who has not been identified, is also charged with third-degree rape and remains in juvie after his pre-trial bond hearing pushed back to February.

Their co-accused Everett Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, were both released on January 24, after being charged with participating or witnessing the rape.

Washington, Lee's nephew, was on the roster for the Walker High School Varsity Football team for the 2022-23 season - but graduated after a half year in December.

In pictures seen by DailyMail.com, Washington appears to be a party boy, despite being under the legal age of drinking.

Pictures show him partying with friends and posing for the camera, while another shows him topless and clutching an inflatable alien.

He also posted a video on TikTok where he admits that his 'biggest fear' is 'not making it to heaven' – with many users commenting that it has 'come true' since his arrest.

Washington will now be under house arrest and must wear an ankle monitor following his release from prison.

His release comes after Louisiana State University president William Tate IV has been slammed by student groups for 'victim blaming'.

In a statement published earlier this week, Tate focused on underage drinking, without naming Reggie's bar where Madi and the four men were seen leaving together.

'All but one of the suspects involved in this horrific scenario were underage yet were able to consume alcohol at a local bar,' he wrote. 'As such, our action plan starts with a deep and relentless focus on any establishment that profits off our students by providing alcohol to underage individuals.'

Court documents state that Madi and the group of four – three of whom are underage – were all drinking in the bar before her alleged rape.

The College Democrats of LSU and Feminists in Action sent a letter to Tate saying that said his action plan 'falls short' of consoling a grieving and 'fearful' student body.

In the letter they said: 'The student body finds itself sickened by this attempt to victim blame and further ignore the overwhelming violence, particularly sexual violence, we face as students.

'Instead, you chose to reinforce rape culture on our campus and in the greater East Baton Rouge community.

'While students are grieving the loss of our peer and fearing for our safety and well-being, your administration directs its attention to the underage consumption of alcohol. This response is inexcusable.'

The University defended the statements made by Tate, telling Fox News Digital that the message was 'directed at perpetrators and establishments that enable them to weaponize alcohol against our students.'

It comes after footage was obtained of Madi running across a parking lot to get into a car with four men, showing her leaving Reggie's at 1:50am.

She then appears to hug one of them, which matches with what police say in court documents seen by DailyMail.com.

Reggie's has since had its liquor license suspended following the tragic collision, and has a reputation for wild nights of underage drinking.

The Louisiana ATC has confirmed that they have suspended the license of Reggie's bar following the 'seriousness of the allegations and potential threat to public safety'.

In a statement Reggie's said: The owner of Reggie's has fully cooperated with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office, Louisiana State Police, and the East Baton Rouge ABC office since their first requests for assistance in their ongoing investigations and will continue to do so.

'We look forward to meeting with State ATC and East Baton Rouge ABC officials as soon as possible to address their concerns and to insure they have all of the complete and accurate facts and all information they require to complete their investigation.'

The bar also stated that Madi entered the bar with fake ID, despite several social media posts showing her partying and drinking in the saloon before.

Kris Perrett, attorney for bar owner Darin Adams, denied that the group were served any drinks during the last hour at Reggie's.

Legal documents seen by DailyMail.com reveal that Madi had 0.319g per cent of alcohol in her system – so high that toxicologists said she could have suffered from alcohol poisoning or loss of consciousness.

Madi died after being hit by a ride-share car at 3am on January 15, when she was dropped off by the four men who had picked her up at a college bar.

Two Good Samaritans reportedly stopped to perform CPR on the sophomore LSU student after the collision at 3am.

East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office says they were guided by first responders on the phone in the pouring rain after Madi was hit by the ride-share car.

They confirmed that Madi Brooks died from 'multiple traumatic injuries' when she was hit by a car after allegedly being raped.
