I really think what? I rarely think at all :P

I do think that there's a public tendency to believe people are guilty until proven innocent in cases like these, which is wrong. There's too many "footballer" rape cases around these days - now either the footballers either think they can have what they want, and take it, or girls think it's an easy way to make money.

Being refused bail by a judge at the Old Bailey has made a lot of people realise that this is more serious than we all thought. I'm trying to not judge and jump to any conclusions at all - I can see both sides, and the possibilities. I don't know enough details to make an assumption either way. 15 year old girls are in bars, pubs & clubs all the time. 15 year old girls lie about their age. 4 grown men should know better than to get themselves into a situation with a girl on her own. Forbes shouldn't have been out the night before a game.

AFAIK, this girl hasn't gone to the papers. Maybe that's a telling sign...I just don't know. I can't judge her, and I can't judge him - I'm not on a jury and it's not my place to judge.

I am trying to reserve judgement until he's found guilty/not guilty, and yes, I can honestly see both sides & don't know what to believe.
