There’s two versions of what happened that night.one is consensual sex between three people,the other is the rape of a young woman by two men. I personally don’t know what happened that night,so I won’t make a judgement until all the facts are presented. What I don’t understand is how those, such as syferus, are so sure they are guilty? The text messages mean nothing, indicate no guilt whatsoever.
I hope they serve real time if they are guilty. But what happens if they are found not guilty? You’ll have people condemning them as rapists who got away with it. Does that mean if you get accused of rape you’re automatically a rapist?let the courts do their job for Christ sake
quoting east down gael from the rugby thread. I agree with this - dont see how anyone can say 100% it was rape based on the evidence so far. however according to syferus for having some sense and waiting to hear all the evidence (at which point I may form the opinion they are guilty) we are just cavemen. Ironic from someone who wants a caveman like justice system - 1 days evidence on one side of the story - I've heard enough guilty over and done with
Evidence so far from what I have read
text msgs between them on whatsapp doesnt make for good reading but enough to say rape - no for me
Taxi man account the girl was in hysterics - yes that would lead you to think this was rape
Bruising/bleeding in vaginal area - prosecution and Dr said consistent with trauma to the area but no indication if consensual - and others have said about mates who have had similar with wife so that doesnt guarantee rape for me. Dont know if she had brusing on arms etc - not sure if that was mentioned in court.
Girl walked in but not reported in initial police interview - seems a bit strange that one and puts me back on the fence personally atm.
I think the girl that walked in on it will be a key witness and as someone alluded to earlier if she is either a prosecution witness or a defence witness will be a big factor (assuming she is called as a witness of course)
