How else do you judge the credibility of the allegation given that 99/100 there is no witness, no cctv and the male party will claim consent, which is a ever changing variable 

IF you can't prove it then you can't prove it. But ti shouldn't be because of the way that the person who reported it acted before, during or after. Such a dangerous precedent it's untrue.

Agree, but that is why the prosecution figures for it are so low.

They’d be even lower if women reported it even less than they do through fear of the world judging them on how they behaved before and after

The issue being you haven't offered a solution on how you try to solve such things

I know. I don’t really have one if I’m honest. I just really hate the idea of how a woman behaves, no matter how bad it looks, being something that is taken into account. 
 

I’m probably talking nonsense and not getting my point across properly.

The thing to remember though is, so is the man's behaviour. Both sides are effectively trying to portray the other as unreliable. It's not ideal but there's very few alternatives unfortunately

Sadly that is how Ched Evans got off in the end - so the legal precedent has been set

As someone who has experienced first hand the devastation a sexual assault causes to a woman and the ones who love her, I know that she could not bare to look at the man’s face again, let alone socialise with him. In my experience it is not “normal behaviour” for a woman to want to go to the same place as the man who assaulted her.  People can say it’s irrelevant, but I think natural human behaviour gets considered when there’s no evidence and it’s only word of mouth.

Tired of being kicked around? 🤔


Not sure what you mean ?

 

It’s an ongoing case so my comment was as vague as possible really. 


I’m just referring to the possibility of this or similar behaviour being a type of ‘culture’ in football and was thinking if this is an extreme case or the tip of the iceberg.
