Conor McGregor thread (MMA Talk Only - Read 1st Post Before Posting)

If she is a victim of rape, I can't say that she has been badly advised to not take a big pay offer,.or that she is a moron for not taking the offer. Why? Because - if she is a victim - I think money is unlikely to be her motivation. Road traffic accident? Take the money. Got punched on a night out? Take the money. Unfair dismissal? Take the money.

But where someone is a high profile figure has raped you, has had form for this sort of behaviour in the past, is offering you money to keep quiet and where you believe he will continue to behave in this way, then having your day in court is highly motivating. Especially where you may have been suffering from low mental health since the incident and might be looking for some sort of resolution, some sort of outlet for your anger.

you don't have to prove anything though, people often make that mistake

you just have to convince the jury its the most likely case

who is lying basically

the key here is surely the bruising, be hard for the defense to explain these away

I've had athletic, prolonged and enthusiastic sex, and I have never once been bruised.

The paramedic said that she was bruised all over her body. That she had extremely bad bruising and marks on her neck as well.

Is he still playing sport?

If he is found liable for this, he won't care about paying her money.

But it will potentially stop him playing sport again. And it will also affect his businesses.

Thats what i initislly thought. Unless hes absolutely certain he will he get off, He might have been more sensible paying her money out of court. As if he is found liable here, he will not only have to pay money, it will also damage his businesses and his career.

But then i thought: that doesnt really work. If you pay somoeone off (settle outside of court) people always find out sooner or later. And it would damage his career anyway.

Remember when michael jackson paid off that kid, and everyone found out. Remember when Trump paid off stormy daniels and everyone found out

he has more money than he know what to do with, has businesses, was in a film

these allegations have been around ages, hasn't made a dent

hes 36/37 now, sporting days behind him, ufc fans lap this stuff up anyway

How long is the trial going on for?

It's weird. Because in my opinion a lot of what she says doesn't really add up. And of course there's clearly a motive for someone to sue a millionaire. Which would all add up to her lying.

However the bruising all over her body suggests that she is telling the truth.

I wonder what they'll decide.

I do see a bit of disconnect between how some men and women think online on some of the online forums.

I see some male posters saying on a different forum "sure she went back to the hotel room she obviously wanted sex".

Whereas a woman going back to a hotel room wouldn't necessarily think -that is saying that she wants sex.

She could go back to the hotel, and just be thinking that she wants to continue the party somewhere.

She can go there maybe thinking sex is on the cards and change her mind

I presume when on a jury at least most will take it somewhat seriously

Yes or that even if the woman goes to a hotel room - that the man is not entitled to sex.
