Ched Evans is a rapist, fact you are defending him tells me all I need to know. No side should take a rapist on, it is a privilege to be professional football player, not a right.
Goodwillie had charges dropped against him, doesn't mean he was innocent and his accuser has also won legal aid to sue him which is extremely difficult to do suggesting she has a strong case.
Kobe Bryant
Sound like someone who was falsely accused? He also earns $25 million per year, so I think his life is far from ruined.
Marshawn Lynch could well be exception which proves the rule. Most people charged with sexual assault are guilty, that shouldn't have any impact on MM guilt or innocence but you dismissing it off hand demonstrates why women don't come forward.
Good god look at the ****ing evidence in the Evans case. The grounds that it was deemed rape was that the individual was too drunk to consent , when there is video footage of the girl upon entering the hotel , remembering her pizza going back to get it from the taxi , and in a full set of High heels completing a deep squat rummaging through her bag and collecting the pizza flawlessly. Also samples given the next day showed no Alcohol to be in her system whatsoever which is very unlikely in the event of someone becoming "blackout drunk". She also claimed she may have been spiked , again nothing showed up in her system except for coke and cannabanoids which she denied taking.
"
The complainant submitted in evidence that she would normally and regularly drink well in excess of what she had consumed on this particular night out."
"The friends who were with her on the night all testified that she was not particularly drunk."
Regardless he is appealing his conviction and time will tell. But in light of all this in my opinion the argument that the complainant was too drunk to consent doesn't hold water.
Kobe's complainant also refused to testify in criminal court. However she did take an undisclosed fee at civil hearing. Which she sought in advance of any criminal proceedings against the accused rapist. His statement taken without the context of his defence appears to be quite damning though.
RVP , Lynch , Brian Banks Robhinio , Johnny Evans , Christiano Ronaldo , Loic Remy along with countless others, have all been accused and been either cleared or had charges dropped. Indeed having charges dropped doesn't necessarily equate to innocence but if someone is going to raise make an accusation of a crime as heinous and disgusting as rape then why do they not fight tooth and nail to see justice served.
And just to sign off your statement that my opinions on the Evans case tell you all you need to know is complete ****e. I abhor rape and the scum who force themselves on others. And in the case of stonewall convictions I believe life imprisonment is the only appropriate sentence as the victim must live with the aftermath for the duration of theirs.
I am just however an awful lot more careful than most to buy into these stories where no details have emerged , a player is released without charge , and high profile athletes so regularly have these accusations made against them.
