MONKMAN Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Justice for Chedwyn! Utterly shocking he was ever convicted in the first place. Although his team were very confident he was going to be found innocent. I followed the case quite closely the first time round and still don't see how he could have possibly been convicted. The man's lost the best few years of his career and several million pounds. Hopefully he can push on and rebuild his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Got off with rape but still a sleazy b*****d. His life and career have been ruined by this so does he now go looking for compensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueDiamond Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Agree with that, if innocent the male is tarnished for life. Completely unfair system and the actual real rape victims are very rarely heard. Can't remember the stats but it's a very low Conviction figure. Anyone accused of rape should be afforded the same anonymity as the victim. If they are found guilty then they lose that right to anonymity. If found innocent under the current rules then the stigma is still attached. you are never truly innocent. Unfortunately the counter argument is that by giving the accused anonymity then it prevents/discourages the victim from reporting the crime.

Big Fifer Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Someone more legally astute than me may be able to answer this; he's had his reputation smashed and lost an absolute fortune in earnings. Can this be recouped? Or is it just a case of "get on with it"? Legal system fails here imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I can't, unfortunately, say I'm very surprised by this. On a wider level, everything about the way this trial has been handled is a pretty damning indictment on how we deal with rape cases. On a personal level, that poor woman after everything she's been put through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Sky sports reporting that he'll be entitled to go down the compensation route. Surely he'll be due a fortune, as he was on 20k a week at the time of his original arrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man had been capped by Wales on a few occasions, and was being linked to bigger clubs at the time of his arrest, I'd argue this undoubtedly has ruined any chance of him competing on such a level again.

ICTChris Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 The compensation he would get won't be the equivalent of his weekly wage x the number of weeks he was in prison. Criminal compensation doesn't work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 ... and on top of everything else we now have to put up with responses at the level of "oh he's been found innocent, therefore the woman was lying", which is no less depressing for its inevitability. It's still, at least, within this woman's range of options to sue Evans for civil damages on the lesser burden of proof - as Goodwillie and Robertson's victim is doing. But much as I might wish her to do that - or at least, wish that the system was such that she could do so without putting herself through hell again - it'd be very hard to fault her for not doing so.

Kennboy1978 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Feel sorry for the girl in all of this too. She's being called all the names under the sun but she never said Evans raped her or did I miss that bit ?He was originally convicted because the prosecution said she was too drunk to consent, so how come his mate was found not guilty originally ?Using sexual past as evidence is a bit uneasy too. Does that mean porn stars cannot possibly be raped ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This woman wasn't, but she did make the critical mistake of having enjoyed consensual sex on other occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Although I believe the original conviction was a shambles. Some of the comments on twitter the now are unbelievable. Plenty calling for the girl to be jailed for lying. I'm assuming they haven't followed the case closely enough to know, that she never once actually accused Evans of any crime.
