lemon 'but this is the only job he can do, hes been training for it since he was a child. let him come back into society, be rehabillitated and support his family.'
FFS, what do you mean by let him 'be rehabilitated'? He has shown no remorse; denies his offence in spite of both the conviction and the evidence; and has caused the most immensely impactful additional and vile distress to his victim. Which part of that screams his 'rehabilitation' prospects exactly?
And as for his 'job' being the only one he can do, utter utter bollocks. He can be a dustman as far I care or anything which doesn't conflict with the fact he is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER
Or did that bit escape you? Or the fact that he is technically actually still serving his sentance & is out on licence only? Yes, let's pop a convicted rapist out there for young boys - who KNOW he is a rapist? - to applaud when he scores and get the, very very firm and clear, message that being a rapist (HAVING raped somebody?) is just dandy. Seriously, what planet are you on?
Rape is NOT akin to other criminal offences, not remotely. And even a club dense enough to let him return or join will have to employ special measures that do NOT apply to other players as he is on the Sex Offenders list - with all that that goes with that.
Maybe you have the luxury of being that rare female who hasn't either experienced some kind of sexual assualt yourself or had a friend go through it, as it's the only reason I can think of as to how (let alone why) you'd spout such tosh.
