Nikita had such terrible bruising, a paramedic hasn't seen such extensive bruising, she had to have a tampon removed from her cervix, she's had her house/car attacked, mum threatened, intruders broke into her home and tried to stab her bf/ threatening her and her bf he tried to pay her off in 2019 for a million, she said no I want justice.

Disgusting person. I've read he has to pay Nikita compensation but does anyone know why he won't be considered for a custodial sentence?

Because it is a civil case, not a criminal one. She brought an action against him ie she sued him. So she gets damages. In a criminal case, the Crown prosecutes someone and if they are found guilty they are sentenced. That isn’t possible with a civil case.

If I believed in such things I would say that men like this deserve a special hell of their own and right next door to it another hell for the stupid women who collude and excuse them

BarbaraHoward · 22/11/2024 19:24

She's so brave to have taken this case. Her family and friends must be so proud of her, and I hope she's very proud of herself.

Unfortunately we all know the conviction rates for sexual assault and rape, but good for her for going down the civil route.

Disgusting man. And that partner of his walking around with him, just as disgusting. She has a daughter but you would think she won some prize. Poor woman who went through so much, he should have received a custodial sentence too.

She isn't as bad as him - she might be deluded or something else but she's not a rapist ffs.

Your post is really misogynistic- shall we focus on the actual perpetrator?

He is an insignificant piece of shit. How would anyone who does not follow UFC have heard of him. ?

Are you suggestion the victim threw herself at him and thus deserved to be raped?

I had to Google what UFC stands for.
Lots of people will never have heard of it, or him. I rather wish I hadn’t, but I did click on the thread, so…

What? Sentenced to what? It was a civil case, not a criminal case. He has been found liable and has to pay her (unless he wins his appeal).

She basically sued him, and the jury found that he more than likely did it. It is a different level of proof needed for a civil case and there won’t be any repercussions beyond being made to pay her £200k.

Wth? What is the point of the trial then?! Terrible 😢

Violent rapist/a character - same thing, right?

Ahhh yes that Oscar worthy performance (playing himself really ) in Roadhouse. Basically Robert De Niro in Raging Bull Confused

Ok - I’ll be corrected he was not criminally convicted of rape.

And lots of people don’t watch films he is in so still not “amazing”.

Great that you’re such a fan.

mrstumbler · 22/11/2024 19:18

@NatalieMars Oh yeah The roadhouse remake ? He fucking ruined that for me.

Autumnlovelove · 22/11/2024 19:17

Can they bring a criminal case against him now?

About time. He's an absolute scumbag. Hopefully other women will come forward.

AdviceNeeded2024 - you're spot on with "repulsive arrogance".

Because it was a civil case- burden of proof is lower than in a criminal.

Everything about him disgusts me. I can't bear to look at him, how he struts about, holds his head - arrogant fucking arsehole.

Totally agree. I sometimes struggle to think of anyone who emits such repulsive arrogance as he does.

'That partner of his' might also be a victim of his control and abuse. Its not that easy to just leave someone especially when you have kids and he is a powerful, rich, violent man who would not hesitate to hurt you/kill you in a heartbeat.

AdviceNeeded2024 · 22/11/2024 19:11

This does not surprise me. He is absolutely vile. Brave woman and she’s been through so much.
