Thorbjorn Olesen - Arrested

[Beezerk]

a good brief, get him off no problem, look at all the high profile EPL that have got off with far worse

I dunno mate, whenever I read a story about people getting arrested on planes it usually ends up with them getting time or the likes.
Loads of witnesses in a confined space, probably someone filmed it on a phone, tough one for him. I wonder what evidence Poulter will give.

A plane full of witnesses. Good luck.

Regardless of conviction or not the sponsorship deals will "dry" up, let's be honest nobody in today's society will want to be associated with someone who has had a sexual assault allegation against them.

It was in first class so there won't be a lot of witnesses most first class cabins are only around a dozen seats and they may not all have been taken.

Of course, but how many celebs, footballers get done DD and sexual offences and get off. good QC, humble and appologetic get councelling etc..naughty boy fineor the like... i'm not cynical or anything

Witnesses can be paid off...

When I fly transatlantic in first, it's usually about 20 seats, plus you have 2-4 dedicated cabin crew for the cabin, additionally, the pilot will have reported the incident to air traffic control, and the police will have tested his alcohol level on arrival. I think 20-25 witnesses would be hard to bury.

What a shame. A guy gets drunk, makes an arse of himself and loses everything, while other people commit much worse crimes and nothing gets done.
At the end of the day, was anyone hurt or injured?

Up to a point I agree Bob but as a sponsor, would you want to be associated with someone charged (and for arguments sake - found guilty) of these charges. It won't sit well with potential buyers and consumers. At the end of the day, these guys know they are in the public eye and so being responsible while in the public domain seems to be a given and I am sure when they get on tour, sign with a management company etc, they are given chapter and verse on what to and what not to do and how behave

If proven sexual assault is very serious!
But I do remember the reporter in the White House who argued with Trump was accused of just that for merely touching the arm of a woman staff member when she tried to remove the mic from him.

So these allegations have to be proven in court, and until they are or not he is an innocent man!

But as I said earlier accusations seem to be enough for some people!!!

I slightly agree, but when a sexual assault is implicated then there will always be severe consequences. We're not in the days where slapping a stewardesses backside was deemed ok. (Or whoever it was.)

Even in America they get 3 strikes

We don't know what happened and what the ''sexual assault'' was but as you say, it could be something of nothing.
It's a shame it couldn't of been handled in house with a ban or hefty fine.

It becomes way more serious when someone gets out of hand mid air. The consequences are so much more.

Would you be as placid/understanding if it was your wife/daughter involved in one part of his "misdemeanor"?

I don't have either so can't comment, but I can repeat we don't know what the assault was, but many have got away with a lot worse

And the American public seem far more forgiving of their sports stars and celebrities once they've been seen to have paid their dues. Personally I don't like any idea of 3 strikes as it gives some form of mitigation to repeat the offence after the first time. If Olesen has broken the law, I'd rather he be arrested and dealt with as anyone else would be. Once he has done time, paid fine, found not guilty or whatever plays out then I do think he is entitled to some leeway to try and pick up the pieces and get back to a semblance of normality and play golf

No you can’t do that!
How many sex scandals are coming out now because it wasn’t handled “in house “ so they got away Scot free!
Just because others have been treated to lenient dosnt mean he should get a slap on the wrist.
If proven guilty obviously.

In essence, it boils down to whether you think the things he did should be crimes or you think they shouldn't.

It doesn't matter what others got away with, either those things are wrong and we should provide justice where possible, or those things are fine and we should punish no one. No doubt there are quite a few people on this earth who have got away with murder and rape, so should we now let all murderers and rapists off, because many others have gotten away with it?

How do you know if we don’t know what it was?
That statement dosnt make sense.
