Gregg Wallace

[Mon Autre]

There was a guy, Kevin, who used to go in my local about 40 plus years ago, he went to a work's Christmas party and rejected sexual advances from a female colleague.

A few days later the Plod turn up at his house and arrest him in front of his wife and kids for alleged rape of his colleague.

The case was under investigation for a good while until she finally cracked and admitted the allegations were false, she got a caution, that was it.

Unfortunately Kevin became known as "Kevin the Rapist" after that. He ended up moving away, l've not seen him since. He was a decent lad, we had some good chats over a beer about how we suffered being blues.

That's awful and I hope he's ok. Sadly for every Kevin there are also dozens of rape victims (males and females) who know their attacker still walks free. It's a tragedy all round. I also know some who I believe was falsely accused of rape and he was talked into pleading guilty by his barrister and served time. But i also know three women who have been raped and countless others who have been assaulted (myself included). The whole situation is a mess.

I’m waiting for the breaking stories about pop idol or whatever is was called about how the contestants were treated badly and made fun of by the judges. The world has gone fucking mad are all these complaining scousers.

Far too many people going out of their way to be offended.

Sorry to hear you were assaulted, it must leave a terrible impression on you.

Kevin will be about 70 now but no one has heard from him for years, my guess is he moved away for a clean break.

You're right of course there's too many predators walking free, some of those who receive lenient custodial sentences are released too early and attack again. It's not easy to police but those in charge are quite often culpable in assisting these criminals.

Google is amazing isn’t it, huge payouts and no doubt more to come, yet you’ve not answered why the woman who cried wolf hasn’t had to compensate or serve jail time for ruining a man’s career and life!
Maybe you shouldnt be presuming everything you read about individuals until they’ve had a proper hearing. I’ve nit doubt Gregg said some wrong stuff but they are words but I suppose you won’t be happy until he’s topped himself after a witch-hunt.

Gregg supporter...you do suprise me...

Theres actually a really good BBC podcast about the X Factor that I'd recommend listening to. Was genuinely pretty fucked up what a lot of the contestants went through.

That’s very true. Thing is, it’s just as true of the people that feel aggrieved about the treatment Wallace is getting as it is about those criticising him. There’s a lot of projection going on and very little empathy.

Sums up society nowadays though!
