People forget we live in an innocent until guilty legal society.

Just as I think you have hit rock bottom and you cannot come out with anything more stupid you come out with this utter nonsense.
You have to be joking or trolling, no one in their right mind could be so stupid as to think this.

Don't the french have a system of guilty until proven innocent...

on the second part i never said that if someone is found not guilty the claimant should go to jail, i said that anyone who makes a false claim should serve time man or woman

Tbf from what I remember she was treated as a hostile witness by the prosecution as she stuck rigidly to not being able to remember anything throughout the trial. I agree with you blatent false accusers should face prosecution but from what I've seen she isn't one of them.

I just hope that he takes the whole matter as a worthwhile learning experience and that other young men(sportsmen or not) take this case to heart and learn that women should be respected no matter what the circumstances.

Funnily enough I remember asking how on earth he was found guilty and was roundly jumped on by certain posters here, rape is rape I was repeatedly and helpfully informed, except in this case where it wasn't and never was. Your last line is worrying, take this case to heart and respect women or we'll throw you in prison for over 2 years and wreck your life it can be interpreted as.

Like Damien said, hopefully he can find a club and continue with his career because I doubt he's earning much more than a few hundred quid a week and these years without earning plus the legal costs won't have been cheap. Hopefully chesterfield will get a transfer fee out of it as well though
