Role models?

It could still get over turned Robben.

Watch this space!

I think the sports media should be ashamed as well, every BBC article and title about him starts with "convicted rapist Ched Evans..."

He won't ever shake the tag regardless of if it's overturned or not.

Whilst I think we would all agree that 'rape', as in proper rape, is henious. To me though, there seems to be a few 'grey' areas as the law stands.
A girl gets smashed and indicates she is up for some hankey-pankey (the fact that she willingly goes to a hotel room might suggest that to be the case), however, in the cold light of day she decides that wasn't a good move and claims she was 'taken advantage of' and informs the authorities.
The geezer, meanwhile, equally intoxicated, takes the fact that she willingly books into a hotel with him as the ok, fills his boots and promptly gets arrested.
Not only that, the way the law stands, she remains anonymous while he has his name made public.

Clearly, not a good move to mix alcohol and pulling.

Agreed, no way am I dismissing proper rape but this sort of rape really is "grey", as you say.

Not only is his name made public, but he gets put on a register too!!

It was the former Robben. The girl involved went back to a hotel room booked by Evans.

junction8, is rape really worse than killing a couple of kids whilst drink-driving?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"proper" rape is comparable, but getting drunk and having séx isn't worse than killing children.

no of course not....but is that lad playing again...i don't know....did lee hughes kill anyone...i can't remember.

Lee Hughes killed a man and ran from the scene and was signed up by Oldham as soon as he left prison without any fuss.

The other guy, whose name escapes me, who killed 2 kids is playing again.

Fact is, all the campaigning against Evans isn't being carried out by football fans. I'm pretty sure the petition against him signing for Oldham was created by the same woman who started the petition against him signing for Sheffield United.

Lee Hughes drove his car pizzed. Caused a death, ran off and hid. Was convicted and jailed.

Sorry Coxy....you already answered.

No probs Heis

I'm pretty sure the petition against him signing for Oldham was created by the same woman who started the petition against him signing for Sheffield United.
