Good goal tonight
1. The thread is about a rape allegation so of course it's going to be uncomfortable reading.
2. The alleged rapist is one of the most famous and successful footballers of all time which is why it's on a football forum (there is no 'non Hibs football forum on this site so it goes on the general football discussion forum)
3. Its not a website aimed at young children and in my opinion anyone whose parent / guardian allows them to browse Internet forums that aren't specifically for fans of Paw Patrol or Peppa Pig should be ready to engage with the uncomfortable truths of this world e.g. a helluva lot of women get raped and statistics show that even if they go to the police they are unlikely to succeed with a prosecution. Read the report, she went to the cops within 24 hours and was advised by the cop to drop the case... just like the previous case with Ronaldo when he was at Man United.
Innocent until proven guilty. Thats all I got to say.
They would be guilty of the action, but it would be for a court to decide if they had committed a crime.
We are getting into Salem territory, when the accuser is believed unconditionally. There are other possible reasons for this woman's story, so it would be wrong not to give them equal weight
For me, the financial reward argument is as compelling as the rape claim, at this point. It would be unfair to judge either party at this stage
I agree.
I just don't have much faith in the legal proces, particularly when it involves famous and powerful billionaires against ordinary citizens.
Often, innocent until proven guilty is almost meaningless in those circumstances.
It seems like if you've got plenty money, you can pretty much do what you want. Just ask Donald Trump.
Nothing the woman has done so far has indicated all she has been after is a pay off, none of what has come to light is because of her in any way, she reported straight away when it happened and this recent burst of info is due to a journalist digging some stuff up themselves.
Yes, this is a family friendly forum, hence the swear filters and admin presence on site.
Some of the comments, particularly in respect of the woman making the allegations are shameful and wince inducing. Not really sure what that has to do with Peppa Pig? You’re being a bit presumptious in terms of creaming yourself over what my objections might be.
Might need to rethink that one.
As for the family friendly stuff, is there not a minimum age you have to be to join the forum? That's a genuine question, because sometimes discussions do get a bit adult in nature, and could cause problems if one of the parties is a minor.
Back on topic, it seems a second woman has contacted the solicitor for the first alleged victim.

When I read his reported comment to the first woman, "I'm 99% good, but 1% bad", I thought it was a strange thing to say, if he hadn't done anything like that before.
Of course I don't know to what he was referring and maybe it was a translation thing, but it did strike me as odd, if not ominous.
