Convicted rapist Ched Evans seeks return to professional football career.

[jassi]

Definition of rape has changed over time anyway. At one time a husband could not rape his wife.
50 years ago activities that today would be treated as rape or at least serious sexual assault were often considered to be little more than bad judgment.

Evans raped a woman, was found to have done so beyond reasonable doubt by a jury, was further found to have done so by an appeal court that rejected his submission. Yet rather than apologise for doing so - which would be the start, not the end, of any attempt to redeem himself - he is spending tens of thousands of pounds on an assault on the legal definition of rape.

Yes.

That's what he's doing ...

Definitions of rape have changed, certainly, to offer women more protection.

On all balances, I think that's a good thing ...

[jassi]

I fully agree with that.

Thanks for that Anna, I hadn't realised he had already lost the appeal against his conviction.   

Two men in an inn bedroom with an intoxicated lass only spells one thing imo.

I totally agree, John

Fun!?

He should have been acquitted, there's no evidence that she didn't consent, both men say that she did.

She claims to remember nothing of it, made no compaint about it, so, what's the problem?

Well! You have said everything, that we need to know about you and your views on sexual abuse and rape, WS.

In this case, yes.

I think his conviction is a joke, & the ridiculous media hype will do nothing but ruin all their lives, more than some hotel room rumpy pumpy ever could.

We have a tool on the farm which we use on cattle and male lambs, I could think of a similar use for it when it comes to rapists and paedophiles.

Not a bad idea, though!

So who did make the complaint?

I have to say that I am not entirely happy with this verdict.

According to her evidence, the complainant awoke on Monday **th ***** 201* in the Premier Inn totally unaware as to how she had got there. Having searched for her bag and mobile phone she then proceeded to Reception.

Her mother picked her up and took her to her friend’s house. Later that day she returned to work. At the end of her shift at 11pm she went to the reception of the Premier Inn and requested to see CCTV footage to see, she claimed, if she could find out how she got there earlier that morning. She did not get to see the CCTV footage but was told by the receptionist that the room had been booked and was occupied by footballers.

Later that evening the complainant contacted North Wales Police claiming her drink had been spiked and that she had lost her bag and mobile phone. The police launched their investigation.

There appears to be many different versions and the one you have linked, is from his site and probably one-sided.

 If you believe that a highly intoxicated woman would be capable of agreeing to sex with two men, do you also believe that she would agree to friends of the rapist (who were invited) to watch through the window and video the whole thing?

Some very crazy girl only, could consent to this.
