It's the most forum friendly word i could think of can't think of any other way to describe her really

Be interesting to see how (now the new evidence has been revealed) other people would describe her .We know he is an idiot that can'y keep his pants up but prior to the appeal she was lorded as a victim carrying no blame ,the evidence states otherwise and was backed up by the verdict

A young lady who has a healthy sex life. But seeing as you mention it, funny that the others didn't come forward until 50K was on offer?

No it isn't funny, the court looked at the money on offer and decided it wasn't funny or suspicious or any other word you choose to include to attempt to undermine the witnesses and I'd say any young lady who gets so drunk these sort of encounters happen on a pretty regular basis isn't healthy, I'd say she was a troubled, damaged woman that needed help rather than be further taken advantage of.

I've got no issue with a girl having a healthy sex life ,just one that lets a man sit in jail for 2 yrs for something he didn't do .If she had spoken up during the 2 yrs ,said something to hint that she had made a mistake then i might have a better opinion of her but she has said not one word

From what I can gather she did not say she was raped, the police decided to prosecute based on what they heard had gone on, so what is she supposed to do?

Well they only had her version of what went on to form a case didn't they ,if i remember she told the police she thought she had been drugged and woke up alone ,clearly that wasn't the case.She may have been drunk but not that drunk as the judge said drunken consent during sex is still consent .

The whole thing is a mess neither party has come out well from and i don't think they deserve to either .Their own actions created the situation ,no sympathy whatsoever for either of them

Didn't realise you were a bitter and angry woman hater. I think you need to see someone, it probably all has something to do with your relationship with your mother when you were a child.

I agree with you that its a mess but the reality is that in future women may be put off coming forward after they have seen what a highly paid lawyer can do to stain their reputation by bringing up their past.

Wow ,such an insightful post ,clearly you have plenty of input ...........or just trolling again :rolleyes:

How about you contribute something worthwhile instead of being a jack ass .I have explained my opinion of her and why i think she is what she is and i'm sure i'm not alone in that ,you however seem to be sure she is a paragon of virtue ,that's your prerogative.He is far from a "silly boy" as i have repeatedly stated if you bother to read ,i can think of a lot worse things to call her and him but rules is rules


You need to apologize for this remark ,totally uncalled for

The lawyers didn't stain her reputation ,the judge after much deliberation allowed evidence showing her past history to be allowed into evidence ,that hasn't taken any money at all it was the basis of the appeal.If a woman has genuinely been raped or assaulted then of course they should come forward and should be encouraged to but at the same time if a woman makes false claims or allows the wrong conclusion to be drawn without speaking out she must be taken to task

Looks like some senior people are uncomfortable about this whole episode.

http://news.sky.com/story/ched-evans...cuser-10618715

Vera Baird, police and crime commissioner for Northumbria and former solicitor general, told the BBC: "The only difference between a clear conviction of Mr Evans in 2012 and the absolute refusal of him having any leave to appeal at that time, and his acquittal now, is that he has called some men to throw discredit on [the woman's] sexual reputation.

"That, I think, is pouring prejudice, which is exactly what used to happen before the law in 1999 stopped the admission of previous sexual history in order to show consent.

"We've gone back, I'm afraid, probably about 30 years."

Re: Footballer rape trial: Ched Evans cleared, Clayton McDonald cleared
 
I am a parent of two boys and a girl. And l thin the biggest problem we have in this world today. Is when someone is accused of rape. Whether its a man or woman is the victim.

I would say that MOST men if they have been raped never come forward. Due to this 'manly thing'

And this thing that this case has put law back 30 years. Total rubbish.

Rape is an evil crime against the person. But we have to look at several things. Men do take advantage of women. And they re used as sexual toys.

But the law must be there to protect BOTH parties and must investigate thoroughly. So that the truth does comes out before going to court. As both the victim and the suspect suffer. Especially IF the suspect says that he innocent.

The first couple of hours are crucial.

Remember, rape is a crime where a person has sex without consent

Yes, I believe she has already had to change her name because of the backlash she received, which is so sad to say she was at the time, the alleged victim.

Maybe if some things changed we wouldn't be at this state.

Like

Police not wanting to make a decision so passing onto CPS so they cop it if its wrong
CPS punting everything vaguely sexual related because .. Saville & must be seen to be doing something/anything
Like CPS unhappy that rape convictions aren't fantastic so changing the goalposts to make them higher

The new philosophy of almost having to have signed consent in triplicate to safeguard yourself against any rape accusations.

These muppets aren't the only ones uncomfortable with the here and now aspects of 'justice' in a post-saville world, it's time the pendulum swung back a bit now, it's swung wayyyy over there for the last few years.

Because her name and address were widely available on the internet, so much so she had to change her name and move house.

So only if you went looking for her name. It wasn't front page news on newspapers or anything like that. Has she denied or has it been disproved that they had sex with her?

If you apply the same principles to the other men that have had sex with her, it's sounds like dozens of men would have locked up. Then add in similar goings on with other women and there would be more men in jail than outside it.

But you'd have to know about that and somehow know that you possibly had evidence relating to the case.

In the original case she was being judged on her sex life. That is how MacDonald was found non guilty. She was considered to be the sort of person that would go off with a random bloke for sex whilst being too drunk to give consent.

I find that part very disturbing. I don't understand why her prior sex life is relevant but as I wasn't in the Court of Appeals or in the Jury I've refrained from commenting on it.

It's also why I don't understand the language and venom directed at this women. There seems to be a double-standard, a nasty one, about woman have many partners and a man having them. IMO both are fine, if everyone consents what's the problem.

Do you mean like the people who were issuing death threats and made her change her name and move house five times?

That's why it's called 'social media' - this sort of information spreads like wildfire.

If she was too drunk with Evans, she was automatically too drunk with McDonald. Yet only one was found guilty. The case was all about being able to give consent.

Again I wasn't in the court so we have to be careful here but....

My understanding was the because she went back to the hotel with McDonald he his defence said that could be taken as consent whereas since Evans was invited later he could not have have assumed consent?

Then why was MacDonald prosecuted? The case revolved her drunken behaviour before Evans saw her. If Evans hadn't been involved in the first place, would MacDonald still have been prosecuted? If events with the other 2 guys had turned out the same way, wouldn't they have also been prosecuted. That is at least 4 possible convictions. The central issue wasn't whether she gave consent, but whether she was too drunk to give consent. MacDonald must have considered that she gave consent with Evans, otherwise why did he leave? If Evans was guilty, then MacDonald was guilty of conspiracy at the very least. Evans was convicted on the basis that he said that she had said X, she said she didn't say that sort of thing, but the retrial found that she did say that sort of thing.

Not quite exactly, anyone curious to find out more about the story by typing in something as innocent as his name is now aware of hers, it didn't require any hunting or detective work it's there in the list, any fan of the club's he was linked to looking for an update on the transfer would now be aware of her name for instance.

It's nothing to do with the amount of partners she has and i'm surprised you can't see that .However grubby and Evans and McDonald where they did not deserve jail for something they did not do .She had ample opportunity to cast doubt on the original investigation and while he was in jail, but it took digging into her previous sex life to find the truth.

Her story has remained consistent throughout. You seem to find a need a blame her but then you won't even aknowledge it is her instead preferring rather nasty language instead.

Have no idea what you are getting at but you clearly have issue with this girl.

This is from an interview with Evans in todays mail.

"I think it was a situation that got taken out of our hands from an early stage. She never said anybody raped her. She said she had a blackout but that didn't mean, like it was said in court, that she didn't consent. My behaviour that night was not acceptable - but it wasn't a crime."

Exactly. No one, not even the defence, has accused her of lying. She couldn't remember. Her story both times was the same. She deserves none of this.

So what ? plenty of people lie and then stick to that lie because the lie is better than the truth




Yes i am blaming her for allowing a man to sit in jail without putting the record straight why is that so hard to grasp ? If you don't like the fact that she has been shown to be a (insert word of your own choice because mine appears to offend you ) then stop attacking people who can see her for what she is,we aren't all as naive as you .People are very quick to jump on men when they behave grubby ,have look at the start of this thread,why all the sympathy when women behave just as grubby .

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/spo...-directly.html

and i have never said she has accused them of rape .However she has allowed the idea that she was raped by 2 men to be perpetuated enough to send one of the accused to jail .

---------- Post added at 19:04 ---------- Previous post was at 18:54 ----------

Anyway ,i am now going to pull out of this thread because i see no point in going over the same arguments with people as naive as some of the posters in this thread .It's just a shame she couldn't remember what happened as well as she remembered where she left the pizza she left the room to scoff :rolleyes:

Yes i am blaming her for allowing a man to sit in jail without putting the record straight why is that so hard to grasp ? If you don't like the fact that she has been shown to be a (insert word of your own choice because mine appears to offend you ) then stop attacking people who can see her for what she is,we aren't all as naive as you .People are very quick to jump on men when they behave grubby ,have look at the start of this thread,why all the sympathy when women behave just as grubby .

and i have never said she has accused them of rape .However she has allowed the idea that she was raped by 2 men to be perpetuated enough to send one of the accused to jail .

Anyway ,i am now going to pull out of this thread because i see no point in going over the same arguments with people as naive as some of the posters in this thread .It's just a shame she couldn't remember what happened as well as she remembered where she left the pizza she left the room to scoff :rolleyes:

Iirc she was treated as a hostile witness by the prosecution because of her lack of cooperation. Evans himself doesn't blame her or condone the abuse she has suffered so perhaps if he doesn't others shouldn't either.

Good, you've been talking bollocks throughout.

I suggest you make an appointment with a professional to talk through the issues you have with women.

Wait ... if she never accused anyone of raping her then how did this become a case at all, why were both of them charged with anything at all ?

From what I understand she told her friends who convinced her to go the police. She told the police but said she couldn't remember. Police took it from there. That's when Evans involvement become known I think.

Was this about the time that a big win was mentioned with holidays and pink mini coopers mentioned on twitter (subsequently deleted) by she who must not be mentioned.

No. This is around the time other people circulated 'tweets' alleged to be from her on Twitter which where never verified.

I'm even more convinced that to get true justice that both accuser and the defendant/s in rape cases should be anonymous.

Agreed, it might however put a spanner in the works for CPS/Police who seem to love to leak names in order to go fishing.

As I said a few pages back a good compromise would be that suspects get anonymity by default but if the police can present a clear public interest case to a judge then they can name them publicly. The judge would have advice to use such powers rarely and only when there is an obvious need (i.e Rolf Harris, Saville). This would allow most suspects anonymity but address the cases where we're talking about a possible serial abuser/rapist.

Apparently, his girlfriend's father (Karl Massey) celebrated the fact that he was found not guilty and offered to underwrite any financial sponsorship losses to Oldham FC.

Seems odd, as either way he was unfaithful to his daughter!!

Oh dear - looks like Ched and family are going after people who dare to have a different opinion than the jury now. You would have thought he would want to keep his head down and get on with his life.

Meh you have to accept the verdict of the court. If you say someone is guilty of rape and they've already been found not guilty then it's libelous/slanderous.

There are times you may not like it but if you go down the path of society second guessing guilt then you're going to cause more suffering and undermine justice. You would create a situation where going to court is itself a indication of guilt. It defeats the point.

Not to mention we weren't in the court. We are less equipped to judge the case than the jury.

The same goes for the people making allegations against the woman with no evidence what-so-ever by the way.

Well if she's said nothing wrong she'll be fine. If on the other hand she's said something slanderous on national TV he'll have a case because it'll have been heard by millions of people. She's entitled to her opinion but expressing it in such a public manner is always going to carry a risk. It'll be interesting to see how ITV's lawyers react and whether what she said will be edited out of any repeat showings.

I don't think she did though, the video is here?

The more this footage is viewed (and I haven't seen it and don't want to) or quoted, I'd have thought the better his case will be if it's ultimately decided that he has been slandered/libelled.

It's on the Daily Mirrors website, so his beef would be with them as well as Gloria I assume?

Correct, the more an item is viewed, the worse it is deemed to be by the courts.

Looks like its the father of his fiancé who has made the complaint.

It'll be with anyone who publishes it but some will have wider audiences and deeper pockets than others. I wouldn't be surprised if nothing comes of this but it is tricky territory and there's always the risk of losing and having to pay the other side's costs...

Tomorrow's Afternoon Play on Radio 4 appears to be based on this case.

'The Interogation' is about a Premier League footballer accused of rape, who discovers that his skill, wealth and fame make no odds in a police station.
