gbandit Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 This whole case appears grim from the outside. I’m not going to comment much as I haven’t followed all the proceedings etc but there’s a known extremely high bar for rape / sexual assault convictions. It’s hard not speculate but you can imagine that there was a willingness and consent to some degree and then things got a lot more messy once they were inside his house. Whole thing is unsettling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) I don’t really see the problem like. I’m all for penalising rape hard, but Mendy has been tried twice now and cleared both times. Top level football being a small community, why can’t fellow pros, friends in some cases, be supportive of each other when some very serious allegations that ruined the career of one of their own have been judged to be tenuous at best? Juries don’t clear rape suspects lightly, so with that in mind why is everybody going on like fellow players are supporting a convicted rapist?

I’d imagine rape being quite a heinous crime the bar for conviction must be quite small if jury members have severe doubts. It also often leaves strong physical evidence I suspect. Stand to be corrected though. Edit: I was intrigued so decided to google it. Looks like the conviction rate is actually very high comparatively speaking, much as I suspected.

Stand to be corrected though. Having a quick google for evidence you may have a point, jury convictions for rape have gone up from what i thought, it's getting to trial is the (severe) problem, so I have to acknowlege i was basing on haunting anecdotal testomony of court reporter talking about rape trials.

Unbelievable Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 7 minutes ago, The Prophet said: What data is that based on, i.e. who decided how many of the non-reported cases were false. I mean, how could one even know if they were unreported? It’s easy to create a graph that looks scientific, but that looks like pure guesswork.

The Prophet Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 It won't be far wrong. Rape is an obscenely difficult crime to charge and prosecute, the police don't help with their approach to things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
