However now that he has done his time I do believe that he should be allowed to play again. If not it would make a comp!ete mockary of the rehabilition system.
I take exception to that because I have on numerous occasions gone out, got hammered, got off with women who are similarly hammered and we have ended up shagging. I certainly don't believe I have ever raped anyone or shagged anyone who hasn't been consenting. I imagine most males on this forum will have done the same. When does two pissed up people shagging become an opportunist c**t taking advantage of a woman when she's drunk?
If you have gone into a room whilst your mate is shagging a woman and then decided to have a go knowing she is drunk and without her consent then your an opportunistic c*** too and should be in prison.
Don't get me wrong though I do understand where you're coming from and that's why I believe its right that his mate got found not guilty. She knowingly went back to the hotel room with the other guy as the CCTV shown she was more than capable of walking. And the fact she has volunterrily gone back with the lad is enough to create reasonable doubt in the Jury's eyes.
Surely you can see the difference between pulling a drunk girl after a few beers and taking her back to a hotel room with her consent than just stumbling upon a drunk girl in the bedroom and shagging her.
Of course I can. But just because he didn't pull her outside the kebab shop (classy) and came in to the hotel room later doesn't mean that she couldn't possibly have consented. It is entirely plausible that he stumbled in to the room later but was still consenting to sex with him. She says she didn't consent (actually I'm not sure she even said that), he says she did. We will never know the truth but it is just about whether there was reasonable doubt. The jury said there wasn't and they heard all the evidence, but considering some of the evidence that has been made public, if there wasn't reasonable doubt then I don't think I understand the meaning of the term reasonable doubt. I'm glad I'm not in my twenties these days, that's all I can say because it seems to me that a drunken shag which used to just be a normal activity is now fraught with all manner of potential shit unless of course you take a written consent form out and about with you.
