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.
Funny how you can’t answer the actual question I posed.
As to your latest baseless accusation: nobody condoned an adult to child sexual relationship. That’s just your own twisted narrative.
List the lies. Why is that so difficult?
Seems comprehension is the core issue.
Her age.
And we can't rely on any fact she stated in her initial social media post because afterwards she sends a solicitor's letter saying there was inaccuracies in the initial post. It all could have been bullshit yet you quote the initial post as if it was all fact. For instance you say he contacted her on twitter when she was 16. How do you know that was true when her solicitor's letter states the post starting that had inaccuracies.
I know you're furious that I caught you out but if you can't explain what's in the solicitors letter that justifies your commentary on the victim in this case, then you've lost the argument badly.
Not a tricky spot at all.
I don't like McDermott, but I also don't think anyone should be falsely accused of statutory rape.
But true to form, you frame a statement that because I am critical of this particular woman, that I like to vilify women.
Bullshit.
I'm not clueless. She admitted to lying. That's the only case.
You're speculating that the girl in the case is lying without anything to back it up but you believe a man who preyed on a child when he was 27. Why is that?
What victim? In what 'case ' ?
Defending a 'woke' man v vilifying a woman. You've decided to go with the 'woke' man with some caveats.
What lies?
The child in the case we're discussing that you are clueless about.
I haven't defended anyone. It's possible to think McDermott is a prick and also think it's unfair for him to be falsely accused of statutory rape.
The fact you can't see that is telling.
Like I said, you've decided to cast aspersions on the victim in this case instead of the man who preyed on a child. That is what is very telling.
Your framing is even more telling. And inaccurate.
I've said on numerous occasions on this thread, that I find McDermott to be a creepy and horrible human. I have also said that I don't think he deserved to be wrongly accused of statutory rape.
But for some reason, you try to frame it differently.
And if by "cast aspersions" you mean "expect someone to remember their **** age" then yeah, have at it.
And I'm not sure why you are using the word victim. Has a crime been reported to the police?
You are calling the woman a liar with nothing to back it up. You're letting your dislike of women get the better of you. She didn't lie, she clearly made an error which doesn't excuse a predator contacting a 16 year old child and then behaving like he did when she was barely legal. She's the victim here.
There is no child in any case.
the only 'case' is one where a woman made up lies and posted them in social media. You seem to be very confused
There was a school child. And a lot of allegations not denied.
It's strange that none of the McDermott defenders can actually list the lies. And a 16/17 year old is a child. You've yet to explain why you approve of a 27 year old man taking advantage of a girl in secondary school.
I don't have to explain anything. I'm not defending anything about him.
her solicitor have a statement outlining the lies.
I tend not to stick my nose into a 17 year old girls sex life.
Its a shame McDermott did stick his nose in.
I am not speculating she is lying she factually lied. initially she posted with the heading she was 16 (which means she was legaly raped) and then later in a solicitor's letter said she was older. She factually lied about her age.
She also said there was inaccuracies in the initial post (she implies she lied about other information without specifically saying what)
Why don't you believe her solicitor's letter? Why don't you believe her when she said the initial posted inaccuracies? What information can you take as fact from initial post?
And again you are showing your zero sum way of thinking. Because I call her a liar that therefore I am "defending " EMD. The only defending here is of you against a person who makes false allegations and posts them online.
I see.
It's clear why you are of the opinion that she did nothing wrong. You too like to make up **** and post it as fact despite it being utter bullshit.
I have no dislike of women. There are some women I dislike though. People who falsely claim statutory rape has occurred would probably be on that list.
I certainly don't #believeallwomen either. This woman is a prime example of why.
We can go around in circles all went here people.
The girl shouldn't have made that accusation without being full sure she was inf act under the legal age.
McDermot shouldn't have been messaging 16yo school children for any reason. He should have had a sexual relationship with a 17yo school child in his position. No way.
He should clarify all the accusations leveled against him. That would sort all of this pretty quickly. Until he does that he is cancelled.
Third time asking you, could you link to where her age was established as fact?
Like it or not, a girl of 17 can consent to sex with anyone she wishes. Would I be engaging in sexual activity with a 17 year old? No. Would I want my daughter engaging with someone like EMD when she is 17? No.
But the crux of the matter is, she is entitled to. Sex between two consenting participants, once they are of legal age, is frankly none of our business.
With regards the other allegations, as far as I know, they were made anonymously on the internet and not actually reported to police (open to correction). I don't think people are under any obligation to clarify unsubstantiated rumours. In fact, doing so might lend credence to them. The burden of proof is on her, not him.
The very fact that the woman in question lied (or misremembered lol) about her age in order to level a disgusting accusation on EMD would make me hesitant to take any other allegation without a hefty pinch of salt.
I have no love or admiration for EMD and you'd be very hard pressed to find any example of me saying anything complimentary about him as a personality or as a person, but the hand waving away of a false allegation is odd.
"The girl shouldn't have made that accusation without being full sure she was in fact under the legal age."
That's such a generous interpretation of a woman lying about her age. I find it absurd to believe that someone wouldn't be "Full sure" of their age.
With regards the other allegations, as far as I know, they were made anonymously on the internet and not actually reported to police (open to correction)
Apparently not, when questioned or urged to go to the guards, another fabricated malicious allegation was made.
The guards were conspiring against her in concert with his family.
He didnt refute it she didnt retract it. You can take what you want from that. With a fella like McDermott who relies on his woke image I can assume with a good degree of certainty there is truth in it. If there wasnt it would have been retracted. That is simple to understand. He had the best defamation lawyers in Ireland working for him and they couldnt get that retracted.
A simple line in her solicitors letter would have done it.
I was xx years of age and not a school child.
Well in that case, I see no reason why EMD would address or clarify malicious and unsubstantiated allegations.
Guilty until he can prove his innocence in other words.
He needs to prove his innocence against unverified, unproven and anonymous allegations, some of which have already been shown up to be lies?
The school child thing gets repeated a lot by you. Why would it matter if she was attending school considering she admitted that she was above the age of consent when they met for the first time?
