Ched Evans

[Deleted member 16999]

The exes stated that virtually identical situations including the same words used during sex happened with them as they did with
Evans. I think one of the instances was in the same week as the Evans happening. That was the gist of the new evidence, pretty key evidence as well.

As said, classless bloke but that isn't a crime.

The prosecution also asked them why they didn't come forward before and those words were on his website plus a reward of £20,000.00 for anyone with new information.

That doesn't sound good. Surely the CPS would highlight this?

So she is a slapper, and he is at best classless, and at worst a rapist.

And this conclusion has cost the tax payer how much?

Well then unfortunately, as with all cases a witness or defendants character will be discussed and irrespective of how she felt she was treated. In the eyes of the law his lawyers probably had a relatively easy case in painting the image of her required to get the result they wanted.

Some of the evidence was heard in court without the jury present, normally alleged rape victims are not allowed to be cross examined about their sexual history unless special circumstances, this was argued about again without the jury and the judge allowed it as he said there were to many similarities.
His girlfriend also sent a facebook message to the night porter offering him 50 grand if he had any new evidence after the last trial, the prosecution claimed witness tampering, the defence claimed it was an act of desperation by a girlfriend, the jury never heard that.

What bothered me about this case from the start was if it was rape why wasn't his mate found guilty of assisting or something , if there was a crime committed he facilitated it by the call & letting him in etc , why wasn't his mate charged

There IMO was always something suspect about this whole case

His mate didn't let him in, Evans had the other room key, his mate was also charged with rape and found not guilty first time as she had gone with him alone to the hotel in the taxi. and that was deemed consensual

I believe it was brought up in the trial and the fact is that no money has been paid to any witness.

Never said it was mate, just the question put to one of them by the prosecution.

 

[Tashyboy]

Up until a retrial was ordered he was a convicted rapist, by a system we have to believe in if we now accept the not guilty verdict.
I believe as mentioned, the difference this time was the 2 ex's of the girl, one who claimed she was promiscious and the other said that when she drunk and they'd slept together she couldn't remember it the next day, didn't come forward until after the last trial.

Cheers me man, and unfortunately because the guys never came forward before, Mr Evans did a spell inside.

Certainly looks that way.

It's a tough one, and appears to be open to so many interpretations. Is it against the law to be promiscuous? Is it right to go into a room and have sex with someone who's judgement is highly questionable through drink?

There's no winners in this one. Even not guilty he's tarred... so sad for both of them.

+1!

As a father of two sons now in their thirties I would be disgusted and ashamed if I thought that either of them had ever behaved like that. Equally, had I had a daughter I would feel similar disgust at her behaviour.

It would seem after this verdict there is only one victim, his fiancee, and yet she continues to stand by him.

He made a mistake - he went out got drunk and got himself into a bad situation. He is also the father of her child and she obviously has forgiven him for sleeping for the girl.

Whilst he is very much guilty of being stupid and cheating on his fiancé he is also allowed to have a second chance with his fiancé.

I was not aware that I had suggested he was not allowed a second chance.

Merely that I am amazed that she would stand by him after all that his abhorrent and reprehensible behaviour has brought upon her and her family.

Bordering on saintly to forgive him and have him back.

Many many people forgive their partners when they love them. Even more so when they have a child together

And just as many would have told him to sling his hook!

You cannot compare Evans to Johnson.

Sure you can, both lowlife scumbags.

So then, is he still a lowlife scumbag, comparable to a convicted peadophile?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Irrespective of them having a kid, I think Evans is very lucky that his partner decided to stay with him. Many wouldn't especially having to go through the whole thing twice. As for the outcome, he's been found not guilty although where that leaves his football career is not clear. I know he was a pariah after the first verdict but I wonder if anyone will offer him a chance.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the whole thing I hope he can get on with the rest of his life in a degree of peace
