"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 | |||

"A very dangerous conviction surely? 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?" So d*unk that a man shouldn't be taking her back to his hotel room and having sex with her? | |||

"A very dangerous conviction surely? 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? | |||

And then argue the woman shouldn't have drank so much | |||

"ok and your moment of clarity was because you hadn't been drinking?...Evans had been drinking?" And that makes it better? Really? I am shocked I really am if you think alcohol excludes you from rape. | |||

"and how safe the conviction was." 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? 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?" The law regards anyone too d*unk to say yes or no to be incapable of giving informed consent so it is automatically rape. | |||

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!! | |||

"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" Nobody has said it was he fault because she got pissed on this thread thats a fabrication. | |||

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. | |||

"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 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 | |||

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. | |||

"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." | |||

"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. 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". Oh now naive you are he has been in prison the site hasn't been run by him how old are you again?" You mean his official site that was updated today after his relief? What has my age got to do with anything? | |||

"Quick question. . Women can be legally found to be too d*unk to consent. . Can a man claim he was too d*unk to understand consent ? " 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. crystal | |||

"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. " I've been out drinking and fallen but not because of drink but stepping on uneven ground. Stumbling whilst d*unk doesn't mean you are incoherent | |||

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.

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 ? 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. " I hadn't seen this but if he didn't give consent then her actions were wrong. If the genders were switched and it was her that woke up d*unk to find him riding her then it would be dealt with as a rape case. crystal | |||

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." 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. crystal | |||

" What is a straightforward rape case? Most rapes are committed by someone known to the victim. I suspect no one is going to answer that! I did and your in danger of sound like your on a crusade to be honest picking a argument with anyone that doesn't agree with you We've maintained the same _iewpoint throughout this thread. I'm not sure how that is picking an argument? I passionately believe victim blaming is wrong. I consider crimes of a sexual nature to be abhorrent. I believe that having sex with someone that is too d*unk too consent is wrong. If that's a crusade so be it And I think that you being so passionate is stopping you from address some of the facts that have been pointed out to you I didn't once blame the victim I just said this is not a straight forward case and I think most on this thread would agree " I haven;t disagreed. But very few rape cases are straightforward. How few cases even get to trial is testament to that. | |||

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!!

"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.

"The girl was found to have no alcohol in her system, yet traces of cocaine and " 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 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." | |||

"Only post allowed links please " 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. | |||

"In my youth, I have woken up thinking, where am I and who the f**k is that......

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. | |||
