It’s pretty irresponsible for these news agencies to print anything until an official criminal charge has been made.
What’s the point other un-needed controversy and anxiety for everyone.
It sells.

I’m not sure what’s been so bad about that article specifically though? It makes some salient points.
As long as their identity isn’t being revealed then a free press should be able to produce articles like that IMO

I mean the press know what they are doing in general. Its the plebs on social media and the need to know who do the damage.
The surprising thing to me was the fact that the player was allowed to leave the country.
I knew articles would come like this in modern day society, it’s gone full swing compared to years ago and no one cares much for a bloke that potentially could have false accusations made against him.
My stance is this, if someone has been proven unanimously guilty throw away the key as rape is a shocking act.
If someone is proven unanimously guilty of false accusations lock them up.
Obviously we have grey areas also where rape may have happened but not enough evidence to get a conviction also.

If im in work and a bloke gets accused of this, I can make a judgement call on his personality with a bit of caution.
I can use all these arguments being made here reasonably. If however my wife comes home and says a blokes been accused of this I am not so reasonable.
I am going too be a bit more on edge and uncomfortable. I am just being honest here. This is a lot more grey in the real world.
What we are discussing here is a point of law. The reality is something different.

What about the reality of a man who did nothing and getting dragged for something so bad that they did not do. Losing everything and being tarnished for life despite being innocent. But you seem to be looking at it from how it a affects a woman’s life. What about how it could affect a man who is potentially innocent how it destroys his life? Being ostracized from society on mere accusations. Many men have committed suicide because this

We are talking about someone at the moment, who we are not sure we are up too. There are no charges YET. The case hasnt been dropped as far as we know yet.
So if we use this in the same circumstance in a workplace the reality is people would be cautious.
Why this has turned into a discussion on men being wronged is quite alarming for me here. Its unpleasant as was people making judgement calls on who this might have been when it broke.
We have gone from Finding someone guilty last week, to exonerating them from some gold digging whore.
We have no facts either way yet.

It goes back to what @NeedCoffee succinctly said. At some point we’ll all meet in the middle and say rape is wrong.

We all know rape is wrong but at same time we can say wrongful accusations are wrong and damaging. I’ve been in a work place where someone was accused of rape he almost lost his job if not for someone that corroborated his said of the story. It was he said she said but ultimately they sided with her and it turned out he refused her advances it got back to her husband and she was embarrassed. It’s not down playing rape saying false accusation are damaging for the accused. Two things can be true

Always bugs me how rape cases that people know nothing about end up becoming discussions about the alleged victims credibility.
I obviously want Partey to not be guilty but I’m absolutely not going to speculate about the victims potential motives and all of that jazz. That’s why women find it so hard to come forward about rape.

I mean there’s a mountain of evidence to suggest who’s being spoken about here at this point. We’re well beyond that stage.

I think public speculation hurts everyone involved and damages the chances of a fair trial if one becomes necessary. That’s not good for anyone.

Is there a time limit on charging somebody once the police have released you on bail?
It seems that the case is in a pretty critical phase. They either gather enough evidence to charge, or they drop the case?
The fact that Partey is back in training would suggest that charges are unlikely. Just can’t see a scenario where the club back him when they know there might be a good chance he is charged.
I was reading that depending on the case it’s 1-3 months. So I guess August 3rd would make it 1 month give or take I think which is standard.
In very severe cases it can go beyond 3 months but that’s rare unless it’s something really fucked up.
Well you can kiss your chances at running as a Republican goodbye.
