Ched Evans - serious injury

[jimharri]

Not guilty of rape in the eyes of the law, but still a wrong un, which he sort of admitted on the stand.

As I said a few pages back, not the sort of bloke you'd want your daughter bringing home to meet you. But, in the eyes of the law, he isn't a rapist.

Sad thing is he'll never shake the stigma. He'll have songs sung at him at matches, he'll have the social justice warriors and people in public still calling him a rapist for the rest of his career.

Jessica Ennis & Co to apologise....somehow I don't think so.

What happens to the accuser?

Being a wrong 'un doesn't make someone a rapist.

I quite clearly stated he was not guilty of rape.

 

[jimharri]

Seeing as he did time for the original sentence, is he now entitled to compensation for wrongful imprisonment?

So, who does he get to sue for loss of potentially hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in lost earnings? Had he not, initially, been convicted of rape, an offence it's now been decided he never committed, he'd have had several years earning a decent wedge from a football career.

Seeing as he did time for the original sentence, is he now entitled to compensation for wrongful imprisonment?

I think the term is 'a bucket load'

What happens to the accuser?

She never accused him, she said she couldnt remember and the CPS pushed on with the trial, they are the ones that should be held accountable if anyone

What happens to the accuser?

The 'accuser' was the state. The 'victim' didn't accuse him of anything, she simply said she had no recollection of what happened.
