See if Mendy can point you in the right direction mate he’s probably got a good few 11/10s in his contacts who could “assist” in that area ;)

You told me i was ''getting mixed up' with civil and criminal law in your first reply were you very kindly explained where i was going wrong.Some civil cases are tried by jury, but I never talked about civil juries, just the level of proof. We hear a lot about civil cases so it's not unreasonable for people to imagine trials where two people tell a story and the "winner" is the one who is believed.
As for the conclusion - the burden of proof is one way. Quite rightly, people aren't sent to prison based on a close decision. You can end a case, thinking that someone is probably guilty, but if there's doubt you don't convict them.
This isn't controversial stuff - it's quite literally what happens in a criminal case. It's tough on the defendant that the decision isn't the same as "innocent", but if the court had to prove innocence instead of guilt, they would be more likely to end up in prison, so it's ultimately to their benefit. If it meant that everyone else was lying (which was the conclusion that some have come to), then nearly every case would end with the other witnesses/victims being prosecuted. Clearly that's only happens very rarely.
We're talking about a jury giving a verdict based on their beliefs after hearing all the evidence. If a jury finds 'not guilty' then i and others can only come to the 'conclusion' that the accused was 'innocent'.
getting mixed up with semantics is all well and good but in the real world most people will see not guilty as innocent

I’m not sure where you’re going with this? If you read my original post, it basically says that the media portrayed him as a deviant but once you see all the evidence then it was clearly wrong.It’s not the norm for you because you’re a Joe average.
This guy is rich and famous and moves in the type of circle where these types of women make themselves accessible, completely consensually.
Are you genuinely telling me you wouldn’t crack right on in that position?
In essence, I’m saying that he can do whatever he wants as long as it’s within the law. Which it was.
is it legal to pay a prostitute in the UK?Nah.
Depends on your version of “accepted”.
In my view, paying a brass is perfectly acceptable. It’s a consensual transaction that millions of men across the globe engage in and that’s been the case since the dark ages.
If it isn't then it isn't acceptable behaviour, is it?
:)
Though the claim he has slept with over 10k women, now that would take some doing at 1 new woman a day that is over 27 years of shagging lol
So if we have to make it 3+ women a day to make it reduce the timescale, is that then normal sexual behaviour?
Come on now, it isn't, is it?
This is nothing to do with his case either btw.

Really? Are you related to or the descendent of Mary Whitehouse?!!That's right. It makes him a sexual compulsive, which makes him a sick puppy. He should at least take a good, long hard look at himself and preferably seek help so he can treat himself and women in general with more respect. And not get into this fucking mess again. The tosser.

Or just exaggeration and boasting, perfectly normal in young lads.is it legal to pay a prostitute in the UK?

I wouldn't pay anybody for sex, if that makes me a little Englander in your eyes, then knock yourself out.And is perfectly legal in many countries across the world. A bit of little englander coming out perhaps :)
Though prostitution isn't some single transaction between a man and woman, more likely nowadays it is a woman forced into it with a gang of pimps raking the cash in and her passport under lock and key.
Maybe that will help you find wood.
