Same here.
Exactly.
Yes, what we consider disgusting behaviour might be something they did playfully many times in the past.
All we know for sure is that this is a fucking mess and the club will now have to carefully consider their next steps. I can’t see how he plays for us until this is resolved, if that’s possible. And even if he’s cleared of all wrong doing, there’s the public perception to deal with.
Yep
I’ve confused you. She’s the latest one.
I posted legislation which was dated 29th June but on further inspection read 2021. It certainly read like the law she was referring to, but could be misinformation so deleted.
EDIT: The thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the fact that this is the second time she’s complained to the police about rape in relation to Partey.
Like I said before, back in November 2021 she was the one who posted something about Arsenal not taking the original matter seriously. I’m just wondering how you can go from that, to going on holiday with the guy 8 months later…
As always with these things it’s one person’s word against the other. There’s never going to be hard evidence one way or the other. All comes down to who is the best narrator (kept to their story).
I’m still waiting to hear about this law loophole which again seems idiotic on the legislators part if true.
Rumours are because it was in a different country and they’d changed the law just 10 days before, they can’t prosecute.
Yeah, I’m asking if anyone can give more information on the specific law itself. E.g. the actual name of the piece of legislation or an article referring to the specific law change.
No idea
Presumably the Spanish cops could still investigate and potentially bring charges. That’s the bit I’m not getting.
There’s so much going on in this case, it’s obviously very complicated with a ton of legal nuances etc.
If it was as cut and dry as him just being guilty I’m sure he’d have been charged by now and going to trial but there’s clearly more to it.
Weird but this is going to get ugly and will hang over the clubs head until it’s resolved.
I don’t like stuff like this. It shouldn’t be used against her in any capacity because it doesn’t mean she still can’t be assaulted or raped.
This is typical victim shaming stuff that ends up becoming prominent when this stuff happens.
Wonder if she’ll wake up today regretting her drunken Twitter outburst?
Yeah why can’t Spanish cops charge Partey if English ones can’t
Even if Partey is innocent, the damage is done. Throw enough shit and it sticks. Gutted.
Cases like this rarely get convictions anywhere. There is no smoking gun
Yeah this will probably go the way of Gylfi
Agreed but at least you would have a case, instead of being dismissed straight away because of a loophole.
Read through all the twitter spiel again, nothing I can see in the “exchanges” that conclusively proves anything (guilt/innocence) other than a tumultuous relationship with a lot of fighting, jealousy and an accusation.
It seems strange if indeed there was a rape/sexual assault that there can be any change in legislation enacted that applies retrospectively to prevent her alleged attacker from being prosecuted (tried doing some searching but found nothing in UK/Spanish law that has changed in the last 2 years). It will also mean that Spanish Law and UK Law have both changed to prevent prosecution.
There is an NDA in place, which doesn’t look good but that cannot influence any criminal prosecution and NDA’s are in place for a 101 reasons (guilt being one of them but a multitude of others too).
I do not know if he is innocent or guilty of this or anything else and nor does anyone else here or in the twitterverse. Like arseholes, everyone has an opinion, but that doesn’t make anything true or false. Anyone can make an accusation about anything, everyone can tell their truth (but that isn’t necessarily in line with what actually transpired), that is why we have a legal system, to try too determine the truth with the facts available.
Only thing we can all clearly see is that this woman is clearly disturbed and needs to seek help. Reading some of her other tweets, it seems like she has a therapist, so hopefully she can get the help she needs.
For now really this is a job for the police and authorities. If indeed there is a legal technicality then by all means she should share that, hopefully along with actual evidence of an offence and have the trial by public opinion (which is happening already, with limited actual evidence of anything).
The club clearly looked into this to some degree, Partey didn’t travel to Germany and only met up with the squad some time later. The club have a lot to lose in getting this wrong (image, sponsors, social responsibility, press and more). I cannot see Arsenal putting Partey ahead of that, no matter how good a player he is. I expect the club has direct access to Partey’s solicitors and will have made a judgement call on this before allowing Partey to rejoin the squad.
If guilty of sexual assault/rape, Partey should be locked away (forget about everything football, it’s bigger than that). If he isn’t guilty, he should be free to continue his life. If he is only not charged only because of a legal technicality and otherwise there would be sufficient evidence to charge, then I think the club should terminate his contract. If not charged and it cannot be shown that he escaped charge only due to a technicality, should he not be free to continue his life?
You forgot the part where she said ‘no’.
And he left. He didn’t continue when she said ‘no’
