"Now I am not totally up on all the details but does anyone think he may not be 100% guilty????"

The courts said he was the physical evidence was there to say they had sex and she was so d*unk to put in question consent. Its a less on for everyone.

"Now I am not totally up on all the details but does anyone think he may not be 100% guilty????"

it is a weird case in that in that they all agree the woman was d*unk and she could not have consented... the strange thing was that there were 2 of them up on charges, he was found guilty, the other footballer was found not guilty...

i don't see how any football club will take him on without the backlash it will cause

I've had sex with d*unken partners before, so, technically, I could have been convicted of rape! Or her for that matter; a very complicated matter!!

very true _abio and equally as strange...so he can't just vanish. Given how this was reported at the time. He will be persued forever!...he can't just turn up emptying your bins next week and people wont know who he is. It's the question of guilt? and how safe the conviction was.

End of day court of law found him guilty.

One of my first merts was with a lady at her house when she opened the door she was that d*unk she fell over i didnt go in house told her forget it.

Alarm bells rang in head as thought what if i fucked her and in moment of clarity she said who the fuck are you etc i could have been accused of owt.

Lucky escape for me.

No she was incapable of coherent speech so didn't give verbal consent. If a woman is so d*unk do you take advantage and fuck?

Some men certainly do. And then argue the woman shouldn't have drank so much

You have already said that you don't know the full circumstances. He was found guilty. And an appeal failed. So why do you think that the conviction is unsafe?

"A very dangerous conviction surely?

The law regards anyone too d*unk to say yes or no to be incapable of giving informed consent so it is automatically rape.

Consent should never be assumed. Yes means yes. No means no. Until someone is in a position to say yes in terms of sobriety, they have not consented.

I love what the USA have done and it's something I look forward to seeing here in the UK.

The case is unusual.the women did not complain she had been raped.the police brought charges.two men had sex with her only Evans was found guilty of rape his team mate not found guilty.? Both maintain she consented.look at the ched Evans website its very interesting in outlining the way the case was conducted and judges direction.fact is an appeal was not lost....it was not granted.other factors about the alleged victims conduct both before and after the event ...social network alleged statements.its far from straightforward and smacks of a sordid shag gone wrong .well worth a look.

The reason why Evans got convicted and McDonald acquited is because Mcdonald texted Evans from the hotel and boasted to him that he had 'pulled a bird'. Evans then left his mother's house, went to the hotel, let himself in the room and had sex with a woman so d*unk that she was seen on CCTV unable to stand.

Evans' actions were totally predatory, neither the victim or McDonald invited him there.

So, have you ever fucked anyone who was d*unk?

Personally, I've never been d*unk enough to not be able to say the words yes or no - but I have woken to find an ex riding me, - too late for a yes or no, then, I guess!

Like the op, I don't know this case but if it's true that she can't remember saying yes or no, how could it be proved in court???

It saddens me that people assume that it's the woman that's to blame. She's been raped, she's been outed on twitter by friends of Evans' and had to leave her home town as a result.

But apparently because she was pissed it was her fault and not the man who took advantage of her d*unken state

There is a lot of victim blaming sadly when it comes to rape.

Instead of teaching girls to be vigilant of predators and to not put themselves in dangerous situations as the primary rape deterrent we should be teaching boys that rape is deplorable and set examples for them.

So she was able to consent to Mcdonald but not ched?

No alcohol was consumed between the time her and Mcdonald got the taxi to the time ched left the hotel,so why was it right for 1 and not the other.

Plus as said before no appeal was lost it wasn't granted,but now he is out he can appeal again and it go's infront of 3 judges not just 1 this time

The stats for victims are 7:1 female to male.

But the overwhelming number of perpetrators are male.

Male on male. Male on female.

If we teach boys comprehensively at school age then it might bring the numbers down.

She went back to a hotel with McDonald. And even though she was too d*unk too walk a conviction in those circumstances is always going to be unlikely whether she consented or not.

She didn't go back with Evans. she didn't invite him there. McDonald didn't invite him there. Evans left his mother's home and invited himself to the hotel.

It's just like when John Leslie had a case against him by one woman ...... Then about 50 other women came forward. Would that harm a case that was legit due to the fact there was so many others come forward ?? As I dont know the full case but what happened to all the cases put against him??!!

In any case, when a story is told about a woman who has been raped, too many people's reactions are 'what was she wearing?' 'how much had she d*unk?' 'had she been keeping an eye on her drink?' 'did she not think to arrange a taxi at the start of the night?' 'was she giving off the wrong signals?'

Why aren't people asking 'why did he not check she was happy for him to have sex with her?' 'why did he not ensure she had the capacity to give consent?'

Focusing the questions on her actions and not his is victim blaming.

I have never been so d*unk that I don't know what is right or wrong. I wasn't in the court for this case, but he was convicted & given the odds against a conviction we have to accept he was found guilty. Unless proven otherwise by an appeal, he remains guilty and all guys need to recognise that just because a girl is d*unk you can't take advantage.

It is not right that people try to assume he has been wronged. The girl was wronged, sympathy should be with her & not him...

She did walk unaided you are correct though she did fall at one point she was coherent to staff apparently though obviously inebriated the guy who was with her who had sex wasn't prosecuted. Evans however turned up after texts from the guy there expecting a threesome with the woman.

This is an important case for anyone in the swinging scene getting involved in a threesome with a woman or man who is inebriated as president has been set.

I think more people would say "he has served his time, let him get on with the rest of his life" if it wasn't for 2 things...

1) he has shown no remorse at all.... he doesn't believe he did anything wrong at all

2) the fact he could be going back into the same job, at the same club.....

if it were a teacher committing a crime of sexual assualt against a pupil, they wouldn't be a teacher, and they certainly wouldn't be going back to the same school....

do i believe he should be allowed to continue on his career now he has served time... yes

do i believe he should go back to sheffield united.... no

do i think he should be rewarded by getting more money because wages in the game have gone up from when he went in... hell no

would i want him playing for my club.... nope!!

maybe someone who is welsh can answer would they want him playing for their national side again....

I think his options would be to go an earn a living abroad for the next few years.... then at some point possibly come back

I think he should be able to return to Football, he's served his time. If he had a 'normal' everyday job like one of us, there wouldn't be a petition started nationwide like there has been for him.

I also think the fact he's going to appeal again after his release, speaks volumes.

The other point which was made was that he was also d*unk.

So on the surface...and not saying any of us know all the circumstances. Two d*unk people having sex....happens all the time. How many of us have perhaps been in this situation?

Normally we would all move on. Not saying it's exactly the case here...but is the fact he had some kind of celebrity a factor here?

Guess we just have to accept what the jury found...

"I think more people would say "he has served his time, let him get on with the rest of his life" if it wasn't for 2 things...

1) he has shown no remorse at all.... he doesn't believe he did anything wrong at all

Unless you have been in prison with him you don't have a clue if he has shown remorse so please get your facts right. More so he wouldn't have been given early release from his sentence if he hadn't. "

actually you get 50% off for good behaviour plus time he spend on remand... so for a 5 year sentence 2 1/2 is bout what is served

and every statement he has released from the time he was found guity states he believes he is innocence and has not shown any remorse for any of his actions...

look at the statements issued by both him and the girlfriend who stood by him

I think his own website and the tagline "Chad Evans was wrongly convicted of rape" may just be an indication of his lack of remorse. Or the bit where it says "he maintains his total innocence". Or the bit where it refers to the conviction as "a gross miscarriage of justice".

"To see the cctv of her walking unaided into the hotel look at the ched Evans website.other factors about the case are outlined.its well worth a look as the details are not at all straightforward and indicate a very unsafe conviction.my belief is he will win on appeal as there appears to be other evidence and facts to be aired.

She did walk unaided you are correct though she did fall at one point she was coherent to staff apparently though obviously inebriated the guy who was with her who had sex wasn't prosecuted. Evans however turned up after texts from the guy there expecting a threesome with the woman.

This is an important case for anyone in the swinging scene getting involved in a threesome with a woman or man who is inebriated as president has been set.

Err the guy that she was with was prosecuted and acquited

And it's not an important case for swinging. Well unless you are the sort of person that joins in with 2 others with no expressed consent"

Darling just because I pulled you up for fabricating things you can put your baby fangs away. you obviously know very little about legal president and even less about how traumatic it is for someone to be taken to trial convicted or not. The cps thought they had a case on both men that's why it went to trial. As for relevance to swinging or any other sex with someone who is intoxicated! Really are you that naive?

"It's such a blurry law (excuse the pun) but it's true!!

Its not blurry at all and I am sure you will be grateful when you stagger home from the dog & duck and get buggered five ways from Wednesday over the chip shop bench.

So, have you ever fucked anyone who was d*unk?

Personally, I've never been d*unk enough to not be able to say the words yes or no - but I have woken to find an ex riding me, - too late for a yes or no, then, I guess!

Like the op, I don't know this case but if it's true that she can't remember saying yes or no, how could it be proved in court???

Like I said, I very blurry case!!

She wasn't to d*unk to go back and pick up her pizza.

It would have to have been a pavement pizza in this case, surely, - diced carrots & all!! "

He was convicted.

You can re-try every rape case in this way, and believe me this happens before trial too. We weren't in the room. We don't know what the power dynamics were at the time but there was enough of a case to secure a conviction. If he is exercising his right to appeal then it happens in the court and shouldn't happen in the media. Or does kicking a ball around mean that he should be afforded special privileges?

The Metro headline this morning was that 36 women a day experience rape. That's the cases that get reported and taken seriously.

He was convicted.

I think a person should be held accountable for their actions under the influence or otherwise. Same as when a person drink drives - I've never heard of anyone being let off a death by dangerous driving charge or similar because they were too inebriated to understand the potential consequences of their actions.

He gets put on a register, everyone demands to know where he lives and if he's within a certain distance of a school and he probably gets his front door kicked in and his property vandalised. Footballers and other 'celebrities' continue to be idolised by those same people who want to be vigilante against Joe.

Exactly. So if consent cannot be confirmed both ways or one person does not have the capacity to give consent then you should assume no consent has been given and keep your legs closed or your dick in your pants.

Of course it is but when that consent is not given or overridden then someone wasn't listening.

Now that discussions have begun on extending the law on abuse to include psychological abuse (which is currently legal as it is not covered) where will that take the verbal consent argument? Power dynamics play their part in the consent conversation.

Because it was the man who committed the action/crime in this case.

If you burgle my house you're the criminal, whether or not I left a window open. Sorry if that's a bad analogy but it's all I can think of at 1am. "

I think it's a fair an analogy. Leave your window open and it's true that you could have done more to prevent yourself been a victim of crime, but you are still very much a victim and certainly don't deserve to have been burgled

A fair point. I understand his first appeal failed so he now has a new legal team to launch a second appeal. I can't find the grounds for a new appeal other than he has the funds to enable this.

he wasn't granted an appeal hence the reason he launch one the day he was released

Was he not is there any reason why not?

I'm sure of the reason it was refused but should all come out when his appeal is heard"

There is more than has been said on this case I think both of us know that. The case has been used by feminists as a publicity case for what ends is not totally clear but I guess we can all make assumptions.

I have rarely seen a straightforward rape case where the perpetrator and the victim have known each other.

Perhaps you should read it first, the initial appeal was rejected as at the time (28 days after the verdict) there was no new evidence, that evidence has now since surfaced and quite a bit of new evidence.

There are countless cases where someone is found guilty only to be overturned years later.

Wheels, I would also add it shouldn't matter how many doors and windows are left open and what goods are on show. We're supposed to live in a civilised society and people shouldn't feel like they can help themselves to whatever they want no matter how tempting it may be.

no... because he wouldn't be the victim, the person he was doing the action to would be the victim... and ignorance of the law would be no excuse....

it would be like me claiming in europe I wasn't speeding because the signs were in kph rather than mph"

Or, " I was too d*unk to remember, flyour honour!" ........... I have to say, from what i've read from this thread, i can easily how the verdict could have gone the other way, - only they really know the truth, except the one that supposedly, cannot remember a thing, of course!

Yes, there was a story in the papers recently about a woman raping a man. He woke up from being d*unk and found her on top of him riding him. Not sure if the verdict is out yet or if the story was about the court proceedings.

To answer your question, we would need to consider what the term rape means in the context of a woman raping a man. If it is defined in a similar manner to how a man rapes a woman then she would have to force him inside her. I guess she could also use a strap on to force an extension of herself inside him but when a man does that to a woman, I don't think its considered rape but something along the lines of indecent assault. I'm not sure how a woman could force a man inside her though but could possibly force an errection through drugs.

If you can't say no then why the assumption that you have said yes? Surely the assumption should be that the answer is no until consent is verbally and clearly given. Do we all need to wear yes or no badges to declare our consent or non-consent in order to be safe?

No matter what their gender a person should be able to be in a vulnerable position and not be assaulted. As opposed to having to be on the defensive at all times.

I don't think men realise how prevalent sexual abuse is and how it is something women have to deal with and protect themselves from on a daily basis.

If you read up on it a little you will see that the only evidence of sexual activity between the three is the admission of the two men alone. the police charged them based on the girls statement of being "spiked". As I said initially I thought he was guilty, however reading the details of the trial and the new evidence afterwards I have changed my _iew

Unsurprisingly, I've never considered raping a man so I had never really considered the mechanics. But as men do get erections involuntary, I can see how this may occur.

The blanket statement 'He was convicted in a court of law, end of story' is not one that makes me hold my hands up and say 'Fair enough' because I simply do not believe our legal system is infallible. Wrongful convictions probably happen every single day across the UK.

The OP suggested the conviction might be unsafe and I think he is right. The video footage of the girl walking unaided through the hotel on unsteady and hazardous looking heels, crouching down to pick up a pizza box and walk with it in one hand really do not paint a picture of someone incoherent with drink, which is the crucial issue. Her own friends who had been with her testified that they didn't think she was that d*unk.

The only people in that room with the girl were Evans and McDonald - both insist that consent was given for Evans to join in, even going as far as to say that the girl was asking to be 'licked out.' etc, yet her evidence is accepted despite the fact that she was supposedly incoherent and cannot remember anything. It would be different if McDonald was saying she didn't consent, but the only eye witness says otherwise. The security guard who listened at the door said nothing terribly damning, either.

Was Evans a foolish, oversexed opportunistic idiot? Certainly.

Do I think he raped the girl? I really don't know. Who can say with any degree of certainty just how d*unk she was?

Do I believe all this makes the conviction unsafe? Yes.

Happy to be pulled up, argued with on any point but that is my current thinking!

It's a tricky one!!

She was to d*unk to remember so you never know if she said yes or no but in the same hand even if she said yes, if she's so d*unk, in my eyes you leave be.

Rape cases are very tricky I feel, especially if it's alcohol related.

Look at the kid in the USA that's just spent 5 years in prison for rape and it turns out it was all a lie after the female was recorded admitting she made it all up. The poor lad has lost 5 years of his life and what was going to be a good future with the NBA.

It's that type of BS that makes it difficult and also very hard for real victims to come forward.

why can a woman make allegations about a man of sexual misdemeanours now and it is taken as red unless the man can disprove it ?

It is of particular interest to me because I once ended up on court as a witness because a girl had accused a guy of rape (whom I didn't know) having met him in a club and gone back to his hotel with him. CCTV in the club had picked me out speaking to her in the jacket queue and one of the doormen knew who I was, so I got a visit (at work!) from the boys in blue.

In court I was pulled this way and that by the prosecution (I ended up as a witness for the defence) loaded and clever questions which were very difficult to answer consistently. One of the questions was 'On a scale of 1 to 100, 100 being completely intoxicated beyond rational decision making, how d*unk do you think the complainant was when you spoke to her.' Who the Hell makes these precise measurements when you speak to someone about how d*unk they are!!

The damning evidence came when a further witness, one of his mates, said he had kicked in the toilet door of the hotel room when they were both inside, and she was knelt on the floor performing fellatio, willingly - and screamed at him to fuck off. On the strength of this the jury were instructed to lodge a not guilty verdict. But what if that hadn't happened? It would be educated guesswork at the very best to say whether or not she was too d*unk to consent, and somebody's life and reputation might have been left in ruins on the strength of it.

Of course, there is the other side of the coin - some predatory bastards do take advantage fully in the knowledge that they shouldn't, and are often never caught.

Absolute minefield :-/

"I'll be honest I thought he was guilty, however have a look on his own website which contains a lot of evidence and key facts from the trial and I'm not so sure. The CCTV footage of the girl entering the hotel certainly isn't of someone who is incapable of thinking for herself. The girl claimed to be spiked however no traces were found according to reports. Have a good read, it does make for a very strong case for a miscarriage of justice

Yet the first appeal failed and they would have seen the same evidence as being presented on HIS website."

No evidence is looked at until the appeal is granted

It amazes me how it is always the rape cases that are pulled apart like this.

You never hear such debate pulling apart the victim, jury and legal system as you do when there is a rape allegation, trial and conviction.

You rarely hear of any other crime blaming the victim in such a way. It highlights the underlying prejudice of society when it comes to sexual assault and you can understand why victims are so reluctantly to report the crime.

So d*unk that she cannot recall either a yes or a no?...I am not condoning rape plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz believe me but beyond a reasonable doubt?

No she was incapable of coherent speech so didn't give verbal consent. If a woman is so d*unk do you take advantage and fuck?"

This!!

Vast amounts of alcohol and sex don't mix this sorry episode proves that point. I know for a fact when a young man I've woken up with several females after a wild night out and not even their names.

To say that both parties were fully aware of their actions would be a lie and mere guesswork.

From what I've heard Evans knew exactly what he was doing and is guilty as sin. If he had any morals he would keep his head down and then maybe his career would continue.

If he insists on playing the innocent one then he only has himself to blame for his demise. I believe everyone deserves a second chance in life but only if they're full of remorse and accept they were in the wrong.

"Google is your friend. . Again. . I ask. . If the question is about verbal consent. Why is the onus on the man ? Isn't consensual sex a two way convo ?

Exactly. So if consent cannot be confirmed both ways or one person does not have the capacity to give consent then you should assume no consent has been given and keep your legs closed or your dick in your pants.

crystal good point. . Fair play. but could a man claim rape if he was to d*unk to remember consenting ?

To answer your question, we would need to consider what the term rape means in the context of a woman raping a man. If it is defined in a similar manner to how a man rapes a woman then she would have to force him inside her. I guess she could also use a strap on to force an extension of herself inside him but when a man does that to a woman, I don't think its considered rape but something along the lines of indecent assault. I'm not sure how a woman could force a man inside her though but could possibly force an errection through drugs.

crystal

She can use an erection without consent and that would qualify."

Using an erection would be a sexual assault. Legally, women cannot rape men (because the definition only allows for men to penetrate without consent) but they can be found guilty of numerous sexual assaults

Somewhat disingenuous to say that, as from what i've read, toxicology report mentions no date rape drug in her system and the above - no mention of alcohol - which would take around 2 hours for each unit of alcohol to leave the body. So i wouldn't expect a lot of alcohol to still be in her system a day later. The other 2 stay in your system for weeks even months.

This case is so weird, why would a father of the girlfriend would want to fund a appeal for guy who at the very least cheated on his daughter?.

it is a weird case in that in that they all agree the woman was d*unk and she could not have consented... the strange thing was that there were 2 of them up on charges, he was found guilty, the other footballer was found not guilty...

i don't see how any football club will take him on without the backlash it will cause"

Always very dangerous to form opinions based on limited and often biased facts. Evans was found guilty by jury after full analysis of the case and he has also had an appeal turned down. He has shown no remorse while the victim has been forced to move home and change identity while many people speculate whether she was d*unk, asking for it etc etc. I find it all very saddening.

Yet another thread regarding a high-profile case involving a sex crime where the victim (usually a female or child) is being blamed. No wonder we have shockingly low conviction rates for these type of offences, with these prevailing attitudes in our society.

But nobody wants to talk about that, do they?

"It saddens me that people assume that it's the woman that's to blame. She's been raped, she's been outed on twitter by friends of Evans' and had to leave her home town as a result.

But apparently because she was pissed it was her fault and not the man who took advantage of her d*unken state

There is a lot of victim blaming sadly when it comes to rape.

Instead of teaching girls to be vigilant of predators and to not put themselves in dangerous situations as the primary rape deterrent we should be teaching boys that rape is deplorable and set examples for them."

I stand by what I said, the jury looked at all the facts which no one on this site has done and made their decision, if there is new evidence then let it be shown. His appeal was turned down, these things are re_iewed by senior judges who, by their decision, have explicitly taken the _iew that there are no grounds for an appeal to be heard. Convictions for rape are notoriously hard to achieve and one cannot help think that the coverage of this case will put off victims from reporting these crimes.

His appeal was not granted fact! Hence the reason he launched one the day he was released.

All the "New evidence" will be seen during his appeal so watch this space in the meantime stop making up stuff to back up your point

New evidence may well have come to light, but if the judge rules it inadmissible then the jury cannot take that into account.

It's a very tricky one. Rape is one of those incredibly emotive crimes.

Is verbal consent ALWAYS sought and obtained before sexual acts or is a lot of it down to implied consent? As such, unless she was passed out, its very tough to call.

As for his future, my opinion is that he should be given another chance. Prison is meant to rehabilitate, and if he's been released early I'd imagine the system considers him rehabilitated. If he's not given the opportunity to continue his trade, the chances are he'll end up having to turn to illegal means to get by.

I intend to check out the website though to inform myself of the case in slightly greater details.

Apologies, my fault. For those interested in reading the court ruling on why an appeal was turned down, it is easy to find, full of detail and also deals with some evidence which was refused by the judge. A tricky case without doubt but a jury, properly instructed by a judge made its verdict.

Well, that's up to you. But it's really not ok to have sex with someone when they're too d*unk to consent. It's not the person's own fault if someone does this to them.
