Hundreds of thousands of people were willing Condemn a innocent man. He was practically forced out of football. This is why we can't play jury from our sofas.

Is that samey to rhyme with rapey, Beyond?

david94 · 18/10/2016 20:52

Clumsy, why do you think she didn't know what she was doing? I have had very energetic and mutually satisfying breathless sex with a women who couldn't remember much the following morning. In the moment how was I to know she would have memory loss in 6 hours time? In the moment she was a willing consenting sexual partner. How is that rape?

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 18/10/2016 20:52

That's it, Hillary Grin

Felascloak · 18/10/2016 20:53

I really think it is actually ched being all defensive about his rapey ways.
We should all go to the consent classes he's running, to learn about how to avoid accidentally giving a man a come on when we are so pissed we can't act normally.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 18/10/2016 20:53

How do you know the sex was mutually satisfying ?

I always wonder at statements like this

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 18/10/2016 20:53

Weirdly, and with a lot of casual sex in me younger days, ive managed never to fuck either a man or woman who couldn't remember in the morning. Says a lot for ones technique, eh David?

Lighthouseturquoise · 18/10/2016 20:54

Ugh, seriously don't engage with rapey Dave, he's clearly getting off on it.

passmethewineplease · 18/10/2016 20:54

Oh fuck off OP.

You're clearly a goady cunt.

PortiaCastis · 18/10/2016 20:54

I was punched knocked to the ground had my arm broken and raped by my exh but no I didn't go to the police because I didn't want to be dragged through the dirt in court
That's down to rape apologists

clumsyduck · 18/10/2016 20:55

Why do you think she did know what she was doing ? The retrial seemed focussed on her sexual history rather than any actual new evidence ?

Thanks for the graphic description of your sex life though

Boundaries · 18/10/2016 20:55

Why does the OP have to fuck off??

Felascloak · 18/10/2016 20:56

Read the OP boundaries, I tend to agree. Dave can fuck off too

Boundaries · 18/10/2016 20:56

Oops. Sorry. Yes, on this thread, the OP probs should Blush

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 18/10/2016 20:56

RapeyDave is a goady tosser, that's generally a good reason for one to fuck off :)

HillaryFTW · 18/10/2016 20:56

Op is a bit of a gf also, but vanished pages ago

Boundaries · 18/10/2016 20:56

I am cross on more than one thread right now

Lighthouseturquoise · 18/10/2016 20:57

I'm laughing here at rapey Dave and his breathless sex.

Beyond funnily enough my sexual partners have remembered in the morning Grin

It's either Ched or it's touched a nerve.

Felascloak · 18/10/2016 20:57

Yeah me too. I'm in a permanent state of ched rage at the moment.

clumsyduck · 18/10/2016 20:59

I read an article along the lines of why we should worry about our sons in light of what happened to ched Evans

A paragraph in it particularly made disturbing reading

It basically said - if every drunk young man who treated women with callous disrespect on a Saturday night was charged with rape then there would be more men in prison than out of it.

Shameful

larrygrylls · 18/10/2016 20:59

The testimony of her other sexual partners was nothing to do with her morals; that has been declared illegal. It was to support his statement that she was enthusiastically consenting, as her behaviour with him was the same as with her other partners.

The appeals court decided to allow this despite the fact that they may have been coached. They decided this was a decision for the jury to make.

Personally I think 50k buys a lot of evidence but I wasn't there and did not hear what the appeals court did.

Regardless, this evidence had nothing to do with her morality.

PortiaCastis · 18/10/2016 20:59

Oh and the whole sodid manfest was filmed by a voyeuristic half brother

PortiaCastis · 18/10/2016 21:00

Yep £50k goes a long way

david94 · 18/10/2016 21:01

Boundaries, reference your previous experience, let me be more clear (difficult when typing quick responses to several people). I think we're all agreed that rape is when the person (man or woman - yes women can rape) imposing themselves on another has not gained consent. Silence (fear) doesn't equal consent. However screaming 'f me harder' as two witnesses stated in court can reasonable be assumed to be consent. The fact that previous partners gave statements to court that this was exactly the language and behavior displayed in previous encounters obviously persuaded the jury that it was not possible to prove 'beyond reasonable doubt' and therefore he as innocent. (We are innocent unless proved otherwise by the way).

LadyStoic · 18/10/2016 21:02

I know this will be deleted but I give not one flying fuck (sorry Olivia )

David I pity your daughter and as for your presence - and assertions - on here you are, bluntly put, clearly a simple goady cunt.

PortiaCastis · 18/10/2016 21:03

So why weren't cheds previous partners called. ???
