Fascinating piece here on the Anthony case talking about how common it is for situations like the Mendy one was - player being actively investigated for abuse allegations and allowed to keep playing under no scrutiny
It’s a tough one because unlike Greenwood which seemed bloody obvious and I’m not sure how that could be edited these are allegations we don’t have solid evidence for or haven’t seen it.
And rape and assault is sadly hard to convict on, I’ve still got my doubts on Ched Evans, no one that pissed can give consent.
It touches very close to the bone with me and stuff I won’t go into here, the fact he is Antony the professional footballer already puts the women at a disadvantage.
Though for Brazil to take those actions it would appear far more serious than we know. Also is player x another?
I’ve got no doubts… he was guilty. If it wasn’t for a concerted campaign by his large family to destroy the girl’s character , and the deep pockets of his new flame’s family , then that case would never have come close to being re-tried.
Got to pull this one up, if anybody has ever had sex with a person who’s drunk etc etc etc. Mrs and I have stumbled home and fumbled more than a few times.
