These allegations hang over people whether found innocent or guilty when they're in the public eye, and it's his image that would take a hit. His image makes him a lot of money ($1bn is the recent contract) and the thing that will keep money coming in after he's finished playing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I can see why the situation is different for someone like him than it would be for the average person.
I'm not saying that makes him less likely to be guilty, I just don't think it makes him look more guilty as it could initially be perceived.

If it's accurate, and those are Ronaldo's words that his lawyer recorded, then I'm not sure how anyone could come to any other conclusion.
Ironically, even if that is an accurate description of what happened, Ronaldo's lawyers might still be able to prevent a conviction using some loophole or legal manoeuvre.
Where would be the justice for the victim in that?

This thread makes for very uncomfortable reading, especially for a family friendly football forum, i’m not sure where it fits on Hibs Net, but for me it’s not on a hibs discussion page.

The law can be ridiculous, regardless of the events in this case or the outcome.
There can be evidence available which categorically proves the guilt of an individual, but they still get off with it because of a technicality.
The words, "You're a free man" don't always mean you didn't commit the crime.
Which takes us back to the OJ Simpson discussion ...

The whole thing has desenended into farce. A serious crime may have occurred here and it should have went through the course fully. I do not accept the other person didn't know fully or was not in correct state of mind over cash.
The whole thing for me is just utterly disgraceful and has desenended into farce.

I can't imagine any youngsters would be offended or influenced by it.
Although I would agree that it looks like it, we can't actually be certain that it's even alcohol.

It’s still a profile pic that I would deem inappropriate for a football forum.

Secondly, only one person has been judgemental and that was the person who called the woman a gold digger.

In 2010 Der Spiegel was employing the equivalent of 80 full-time fact checkers, which the Columbia Journalism Review called "most likely the world's largest fact checking operation".
does not seem very Sun-like.

Having said that, you do seem to have made judgements about people that you don't know for having opinions, and about a German publication which you also know little about.

Come on now.
He has his opinion and he feels he is right, so why does he have to read anything or listen to another point of view?
This is the world we are in.

With age also comes wisdom so I was once told. That wisdom went something like- when you are digging a hole for yourself the best way to get out of it is just to stop digging. I shall now put down my shovel or is it a spade.
I leave this discussion for the more enlightened than I.
