He had a certain fan base here and some weren't gone on him.
He disappeared very fast last year and now he's about to sue Twitter.
Seems to be a reference to the main character in some trashy romance novel.
Hell hath no fury like a mistress scorned
Must be a wind up.
Was he messaging her at 16 do we know? That'd be grooming if we were.
Why would it be grooming?
Do you know the content of the texts, if there were any?
Again, grooming is associated with paedophilles, she has confirmed that she was over the age of consent. If he sent her sexually explicit messages while she was underage, he would be in trouble, there is no allegation of this, so why are mentioning “grooming”?
As virtually every poster on this thread has posted, it’s creepy, inappropriate and bad behaviour. But, there is now no allegation of any illegal sexual activity with a minor.
Thats the kind of behaviour his sister would say is "toxic masculinity" if it was anyone else saying they wanted to grab Paris Hiltons arse.
There has to some sort of change in society. You can't just make a statement like that and pull a guy through the ringer socially and legally and then if he is either found not guilty or the facts are not clear, you get to walk away scotfree. Remember that numpty that did that to Louis Walsh not so long back. He was a right chancer. Something has to happen.
Was the accusation of having sex with her when she was below the age of consent not a fabrication? She manufactured an allegation of statutory rape.
I don't know the full story, but read her post today..
Her post is still online, and after reading it, underage doesn't really come into it. There is an allegation that he forced her down on him, as well as being fairly forceful anyway, and that was after being in the pub and drinking alcohol (which is also illegal unless in a private residence and with her parents consent).
So without bringing the underage issue up, it still sounds at least very creepy, and possibly still very illegal.
She didn’t specify her age. She just said he started messaging her when she was 16. Eoghan seems to be the one who has made the age of consent the issue, and not consent in and of itself.
Didn’t she accuse him of oral rape when she was 16?
Example of Fabrication. A statement known by its maker to be untrue and made in order to deceive
A statement known by its maker to be untrue and made in order to deceive
I can't his X family member is high up in an garda siochana and has conspired with other guards to prevent me. He has fled the country anyway. sic (last 2 paragraphs page 1)
As for what fabrications / falsehoods / lies / inaccuracies, etc 😕
Her solicitor on her behalf has admitted these because they were pretty easily debunked.
Now you say it doesn't paint him in a very good light, it hardly paints her and the others in a glowing light either does it?
The difference is he has been ruined and they get to keep their anonymity.
But to be clear, the allegations made on social medial were completely anonymous and remain that way, no complaint has ever been made.
Again something to ponder in 2022.
The moral of the story is dont be messing about with school kids.
She did not admit to fabricating anything, like you stated. She admitted to being inaccurate and retweeted things that are apparently false. Fabrication reads like she dreamt it up. This is why nuance is important.
In any event; most of her initial post (apart from the fact she was above the age of consent when any “act” took place,) remains unchallenged by Eoghan, other than the fact he views what happened differently and she accepts that.
Her age didn’t come in to it at any stage from what I gather, maybe I’m wrong? only to say they started messaging when she was 16
I didn’t know who this guy was until the posts on Reddit/Boards appeared last year, but my understanding is that she did indeed state he orally raped her when she was 16, that is the allegation she clarified over the last few days. If that is the case, she fabricated the allegation of sexual activity with a minor.
Fabrication is the manufacturing of something, in this case it would appear to be an allegation of statutory rape.
She did.
The sexual activity took place when she was a 17 yo school child in her leaving cert year. Not contested.
You are right, it was the title of her Reddit post. I was focusing on her tweets mainly. But when you read the details of what she posted the age of consent isn’t the issue as much as actual consent is. Eoghan seems to have zoned in on the age part for some reason
Jesus, read it for yourself. 🙄
Nope she brought her age up several times and stated categorically they met when she was 16.
I don’t see where she admits to fabricating what happened between them, like you stated.
You don’t see why the age part is so important?
'Client accepts that there were serious falsehoods...'
I know, it's bizarre since I have published the letter and pointed to the exact paragraphs.
But you seem to be going down the contrarian route of arguing over words.
But for someone who knows so much about it you can't seem remember what age she was when they physically met. Strange.
Sorry what age she / they claimed she was.
I do. But I also see why the consent part is important, which is something that was not redacted.
Seems pretty straightforward, she admits that she published falsehoods and is now retracting them. Not sure why people are still blaming him?
I acknowledged she admits to several inaccuracies and falsehoods. You said she admitted to fabrications which is carries a different weight as it means she made the whole thing up. The terminology used is important. She didn’t admit to fabricating anything. I’m just clarifying that for you.
Anyway I know how boring these threads can read when two users get bogged down in something no one else cares to read about. And I’ll be damned if I waste my Friday night replying to you. Been there done that 😆
You said she admitted to fabrications
It's not my opinion. 😕
Even if she consented, at 16, it would have been statutory rape, he would be accused of being a paedophile and if the allegation were true, even if the sex was consensual, he would be a convicted paedophile if found guilty. That is why age is so vitally important. As has been posted above, the letter is fairly damning, she admits “serious falsehoods”, so her credibility is shot.
What remains in all of this is the morality of a 27 yr old man engaging in sexual activity with a 17 yr old, as Gusser has so oft repeated, schoolgirl, even if it was consensual. It’s disturbing, and now that I know more, for that alone his career in mainstream media should be over.
Grooming can happen between adults, it's s about building a relationship and trust with the intent to manipulate or exploit sexually. I'm not saying that's what happened but if a man in his late 20s, especially one who is in the public eye and has influence, starts texting a 16yo and has relations with her when she comes of age to give consent, grooming is the word that comes to mind.
