Mason Greenwood released on bail

[SWP's back]

Ched Evans was *convicted of rape despite the complainant never reporting a rape had taken place.

*wrongly then later fully acquitted

By definition it cannot be a CPS case until he is charged.

As long as The newspapers are still putting out articles and opinion pieces, it’s fine, they are far more exposed and have very experienced legal teams who know when to stop.

The main principle is there has to be breathing space before the trial, that balances preserving the integrity of the jury while also serving public interest in reporting these crimes.

Frankly I wish there had been more reporting and public awareness on the City player, then he might not have been able to rape 2 more people before being charged.

All true Dom but my understanding is that CPS guidance in such circumstances extends to cases that are yet to be given the green light for a charge to be laid. Maybe I'm just overthinking the whole thing. As another poster has said, social media platforms are already awash with largely uninformed opinion on the matter.

Following from the CPS website.
The Attorney General's Press Officer must be informed immediately if material appears to have been published or is about to be published in a current or pending case which may have a prejudicial effect on the ongoing proceedings.
Given use of the word 'pending', I still think a cautious approach is sensible irrespective of whether anyone has been charged.

I’d like to think @Ric knows what he’s doing. We’ve had threads pulled before for a variety of legal reasons and that will be done at the correct time.

I'm not sure anything that could be posted on here could have any more potential impact on the case than what is already in the public domain from the original 'leaked' images/audio/video unless anyone with intimate knowledge of the situation posted something which was not public knowledge.

Have to concede that's an inescapable truth Tache. Given the sheer volume of material posted on social media platforms, it would be impossible to police it.

The only think that could prejudice an case is if someone leaks something that isn't public knowledge and I think most of us on here are sensible enough not to do anything stupid.

I'm pretty sure the mods are keeping this thread under close watch just in case.

The point is that a case can still be brought with or without the complainant giving evidence.

Vicente if actual rape

Unfortunately it does not prove he went on and raped her. Nor does the picture of her with the words 'this is what Mason Greenwood does' prove that he hit her. I feel sure that the police interviewed her before arresting him and l hope they got more than enough to charge him.

I’ve read somewhere that the audio is 15 minutes long and we’ve only heard the “pre” part of it, then only seen the “post” pictures.

The accuser did give evidence at the trial.
