I'd recommend a Quad way Geforce 710 SLI over a Vega 64 anyday

Fann Linn · 11-12-2018 3:20pm

And closed.

Spencer Winterbotham · 11-12-2018 3:21pm

Who was it?

Vicxas · 11-12-2018 3:24pm

I love how vague it is, like we dont already know

Raheem Euro · 11-12-2018 3:26pm

Of all the felt I ever felt,
I never felt a piece of felt
which felt as fine as that felt felt,
when first I felt that felt hat's felt.

A sex boo boo

Guilty until proven innocent let the wild speculation begin.

We don't! Geezers guessing the name that people may most readily believe doesn't equate to already knowing!

I don't think there is any truth to this story. As in, I'm sure a formal complaint was made, but don't think it actually happened.

DrumSteve · 11-12-2018 3:53pm

If it's true, he's properly screwed.

Few strange things -
how readily people will believe a rape accusation against this certain person, or any person really. It's a bit scary. It may be false or true, but no one actually knows the story at all, and yet....

Also I have already seen posts hoping the woman gets her ''justice'' especially after ''Belfast'' - what the heck do these tyrants want? The right for a social media mob to try and hang someone, anyone they take against, from the comfort of their own armchairs and from inside their own teeny tiny heads?

Strange times.

How have you come to that conclusion with such scant details available?

I can’t believe people throw names around for something so serious. :eek:

Might as well lock it then, as once a name is realised, they will be guilty purely by assoiation.

Should be locked anyway.

I hope this woman will feel the full force of the courts if it is proved untrue.

I agree, if there's evidence discovered that the complainant was lying. Not if the accused is simply found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the two are conflated far too often.

Lux23 · 11-12-2018 4:04pm

These threads shouldn't be allowed; in fact, there should be a complete media blackout on investigations and trials of this nature. Reporting it doesn't help anyone.

If people really care about justice for either party they won't speculate on who it is or what happened. Thread is a car crash and should be locked.

Hypothetically if any of this is true then still
he could live in Venezuela(no extradition)
Scrape by with his eighty million euro fortune.

SexBobomb · 11-12-2018 4:06pm

Seems to be a lot of negative response to the thread on a rightfully sensitive issue .
I don't want to sensationalise the incident/crime itself i just found the story appearing on front pages with no names interesting in itself if Mods want to lock or close thread I wouldn't mind either way, Ive said as much to a mod in a PM.

jamesbere · 11-12-2018 4:07pm

Interesting how quick it's gotten out into the media, I mean the individual involved is probably only been questioned now about it.

seamus · 11-12-2018 4:08pm

There are actually a few completely different names flying around on social media. Tbh, I think that "helps" those named/accused because at least then nobody will take it all that seriously until the actual person is confirmed.

Sounds pretty serious in general, complaint made immediately, victim is in hospital for examination, Gardai have already picked him up. If it was a case of next-day regret I don't think they would be jumping on it quite so quickly.

IMO, it takes some rare type of character to put themselves through a rape trial for ****s and giggles. All the alleged victim gets out of it is arseholes like George Hook talking sh*te and the court of public opinion, same for the accused.
So I would suggest some might lean towards believing the victim as a natural because it would be some rare human goes through all of that genuinely believing they weren't raped.
Mind, I would like to see some stats on falsely accused verses correctly accused, or got off on a technicality etc. before we get too full on into putting the women folk back in their place.

There is a difference between not guity, and it not happening. Now if it was found that she made it all up, I will agree with you, and she should get the same sentence as her attacker would have got if he was guilty.

This should not just apply to this case, but all.

Sorry, this just borders so close to IBelieveHer regardless of any due process or presumption of innocence that I cannot take it seriously. The presumption of innocence is not in ANY way qualified, regardless of what people might like.

I suppose they want to get his clothes and stuff for forensic examination. Check him for cuts, bruises. He might be a flight risk as well.

Quite honestly, it isn't always possible. Two people could engage in consensual sex and one of the parties could wake up the next morning and regret it.

Then is comes down to one persons word against another!
