[Horse Box]

they could ring bombscares into major social gathrings north and south and threaten to attack polling stations and confront politicians directly  north and south do major roadblocks to shut economy down.They could also make a deal with the far right in the south.

Wonder will Jeff be cancelled 

Will the placard waving mad people be outside his house demanding something?

He could end up in jail here. I think there is a strong chance he will.

The fact he was  charged suggests to  me that he will.

This wont stop the dup from saying they are good chrisitian people

In general, it is very hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt a crime that happened years ago, which is the standard of proof that should be required in criminal trials. It becomes a he said/she said, which cannot provide proof beyond reasonable doubt.

But whether he goes to jail or not, he is finished.

[SaffronSports]

Jail probably depends on whether the stuff in the WhatsApp is true. If there's a confession on tape then he'll probably go inside.

[general_lee]

I'm no legal expert but surely the fact the Mrs has also been charged with aiding and abetting suggests there's a strong chance of a successful conviction?

[imtommygunn]

I would have thought so.  No question of whether he's finished professionally now.

Are charges like these not punishable by lengthy sentences? Isn't rape several years by itself? Without all the other stuff?

[imtommygunn]

I imagine so. If he's guilty of what is alleged he could be due a lengthy enough stint. I think the surface has only been scratched with this.

[Eire90]

if hes guilty will paramilitaries be looking to get at him too.

[thewobbler]

I'd say the vikings would be his main danger. Or maybe the banthas.

What's this about Whatsapp Saffron? Must have missed a bit

[imtommygunn]

Who the alleged victims are... mods wouldn't appreciate it being posted.
