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.
A 27 year old scumbag preyed on a barely legal schoolgirl. This thread is populated by the usual incel crew who are overpopulated on boards who think the girl is not to be believed.
About what?
?
The girl admitted she lied?
What is there to believe?
The ones she admitted were false.
Her age?? which implied that that she was raped
Not at all, it's the scumbag who took advantage of a schoolgirl who I'm focused on and the defending of that sort of behaviour. Why do you think it's ok for 27 year old men to contact 16 year old children and then take advantage of her when she's barely legal?
:D He ruined his own good name by contacting schoolgirls when they were 16.
About him moving abroad because of this issue? Again, that's no reason to defend McDermott.
Who said she was lying? And if she was, why doesn't McDermott take her to court. It's clear that she made a mistake with the age of consent or her age at the time, this doesn't clear McDermott from being a creep and disgusting individual.
This is the point Helto they are missing, read the above post from a woman, grand it was her choice which i still find odd but it was her free choice(though the man involved must have been a creep too), can they not see this girl clearly didnt believe it was her choice, unless she wanted EMD to poke a hole in her mouth, and can she not see, any 27 year old man that wants to be with a 16/17 year old is not normal, weather you know one, or your dad is one whatever, it's not right, it's weird, creepy and jimmy saville behaviour.
She initially said she was 16 in what was posted on social media but then after in a solicitor's letter said she was 17. So she lied in the initial social media post.
I don't know why McDermott does not take her to court. Perhaps he knows she has not much money so there is no piont where as twitter might throw him money?
He does sound like a creep but alot in that initial post on media seems to have been inaccurate which was acknowledged by her in the solicitor's letter so we don't know how much of it is true. We know that they had a relationship in October 2010 and she was at the age of consent. That is about it.
You are a symptom of the problem.
You are making a moral judgement, which of course is your prerogative, then supplanting it with an entirely false and defamatory statement, that it is “Jimmy Saville behaviour”. Jimmy Saville was a pedophile, there is absolutely no allegation that Eoghan McDermott is. That is not defending/supporting EMD, it is calling out people who think nothing of making false, malicious allegations. You are not quite as creepy, but certainly on the scale.
Because he just received a letter from her solicitor acknowledging that she made false allegations. You seem to want him crush her when she has admitted wrongdoing. Which is ironic.
It doesn’t clear him of being a creep, it does however clear him of the more serious allegation she made, that he had sex with her when she was under age of consent.
Your moral outrage is all consuming, we all agree it’s wrong for a 27 yr old to have a relationship with a 17yr old, but that is not the only consideration, and repeating the same unfounded allegations or accusing others of supporting him doesn’t make it true, no matter how many times you repeat it. It just points to you either not being able to read, or not being able to understand the letter from her solicitor.
I’m not the one defending a creep
It’s interesting that you need to resort to insults when people are pointing out that he didn’t break the law by dating a 17 year old. The only thing you keep clinging on to is the moral judgement of their relationship, which is frankly none of anyone’s business but theirs. Why are you so outraged by this?
This woman had made accusations based on at least one lie, so anything she claims will now be viewed with suspicion. I can’t see why you are finding this so impossible to understand.
No one is defending him, some are pointing out to those who either don’t want to, or are unable to understand the distinction between a moral wrong, and a legal wrong. Just because you are morally outraged does not give you free reign to make more false allegations. What you are doing comparing him to JS is creepy, JS was a pedophile, there is no allegation that EMD is, that has been acknowledged as false by the girl because she has confirmed she was not 16 when it happened.
You are just another person making false allegations anonymously online.
Surely your reading comprehension skills aren't THAT bad.
I have not once defended McDermott, in fact, I've called him a few offensive names in this thread alone.
I am however saying that I do not believe for one second that this girl did not intentionally allege that she was underage when they met up and performed any sort of sexual act.
She lied.
A person doesn't forget their age, especially when it comes to accusations of statutory rape.
Predatory behaviour. She may have been 'of age' but there would have been a clear imbalance of power. We're always being told that rape and sexual assault is about power and control rather than the sexual act.
It’s absolute nonsense to compare a relationship between two people, who are old enough to consent, to rape and sexual assault.
She didn't need to forget her age. Is it possible either that after a long period of time, she believed an incident occurred before her birthday in that year but it in fact occurred afterwards or alternatively she was unsure of the age of consent.
She should not have made an allegation without being sure of the details but it's perfectly plausible that she was mistaken rather than lying.
You don't know that that was the case.
It wasn't in any of the relationships my classmates had with their older boyfriends
Something triggered the girl to go public about their relationship and frame it as having been abusive. Maybe it was just malice or maybe the now more mature woman can see how he used his celebrity to prey on her naivety.
An age difference doesn't automatically make a relationship predatory but when you add an imbalance of power in the form of wealth / status / celebrity, it doesn't paint a good picture. Reflect on how many of your relationships or those of your friends had such an imbalance.
He has his good name back, just slightly tarnished, because people now know he was probably grooming a 16 year old. The fact he was a 27 year old having sex with a 17 year old just doesn't portray the same image he was putting across in the media. Fair enough if people don't want to hire him.
Alias, I hate to tell ya, but it isn’t uncommon for people to be attached to celebrities/wealth/status, even without the person who has it trying to use it to their advantage. So let’s just say that it was inappropriate for the 27 yr old to have a sexual relationship with a 17 yr old, because unless you can show us that he “preyed” on her, you just join the now long list of people making things up and telling us it happened.
This thread could be used in a study to show how people take false allegations, enhance them with their own narrow opinions, package it as fact, then post it anonymously online. It really is creepy.
I disagree.
It is not plausible.
Wealth, status or celebrity by themselves don't create an imbalance of power in a relationship - imbalance of power arises by differences in how much each partner is invested in the relationship
The preachy set are often the most likely to see others faults but somehow feel the rules don't apply to them.
40-50 years ago it was the likes of Fr. Michael Cleary and his 17 year old lodger. He had plenty to say on human sexuality and relationships.
Now the Woke inform us on the correct way to behave like EMD.
I wouldn't condemn EMD as legally I'd say he did nothing wrong. Historically if you go through your family tree or do research in general many 17 year old girls married men around 30. Most seem to have been genuine relationships...but of their time among usually uneducated (by today's standards) people. There is a power gap between EMD, the media figure and this girl, not present among those historic relationships.
Something doesn't sit right about a man, graduated from college 3 or 4 years looking for a relationship with a school girl. They'd have less in common to talk about. There's a huge gap in worldly experience. Did he always go for girls much younger or was this a genuine once off..someone he fell for. People who know him and the age of girl he dated previously would have a fair idea.
So because she said he left the country because of this issue, he gets a free pass? That's what people are saying.
Why was he messaging a 16yo? What was he hoping to gain going on a sesh with her.
Why has he not denied all of the details in her account. Its to convenient to say he doesnt owe anyone an explanation.
An insult? Accept what you are and own it. If they're your beliefs, stand by them.
