Suggesting that rape is a justifiable form of punishment probably isn't the best anti-rape message... I know that saying someone is getting raped in prison is a long standing joke in society (which is kind of insane) but I'm not sure it's the best time to use that joke.

I think they've expanded on the reasons for his extended arrest. God knows what the total list of everything he's done is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an eye for an eye as the saying goes. I have no sympathy for the fucker. Some might say that's fair punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them charging him and his career in football being over. I'd imagine clubs are going to have serious talks with their players over the next few weeks because as much as they'd like to distance themselves from these issues it does shed a poor light on the sport and the clubs when you hear stories of players doing the kinds of things that Greenwood and Foden did only to then have something like this surface. Sterner action and a gentle kick up the backside to remind them what it means to be a professional sports-person in this day and age wouldn't go amiss. All this has reminded me of what David Villa did in New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, Villa asked a girl working for the club to go to a party with him a few times and cat called her? If I saw David Villa in the street I'd wave him hi and probably get a photo. If I saw Greenwood I'd call him a rapist cunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't insinuating that rape is the same as sexual harassment but more on the lines of "it happens repeatedly and the offenders tend to get away with it because of who they are and because its allowed to continue". Repeated behavior and getting away with it tends to leads to different circumstances and that's where I drew the parallel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more a case of her changing her mind on getting him punished for it because the attention could be more overwhelming than she thought it would be. Or she wants him punished for it but doesn't want his life ruined over it. Could be a number of things. With him seemingly being terrible at controlling his anger, hopefully there's at least some sort distance between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think unless he is a flight risk or poses a further danger to the public by being released then it's normal for someone to be charged then released pending further enquiries... He will have been told to stay away from the alleged victim and don't try and contact her in the meantime... They will sift through any further evidence or statements then bring him back in for a grilling at some point... She could in theory decide she does not want to press charges but I am not sure how that works once the Police have evidence of a crime or assault taking place?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CPS moved the goalposts back in 2019 'temporarily'. You can't present a case to the CPS for a in-custody decision unless you have grounds to remand an individual. Even if you have enough evidence to charge them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've stayed with him through a year or more of violence you're likely to have glossed over alot of bad stuff and have formed a habit of apologising their worst behaviour. From that point I could definitely see her having mixed feelings and at risk of getting cold feet either because of fear of him, concern the punishment for him will be too hard, or concern that you aren't able to cope with the furore you've begun. I'm worried for this woman not only because of Mason but also because of how she might be feeling right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
