For those who’ve managed to miss the big story that’s rocked Britain during the past few days, let us give you a quick recap. A drunken girl sleeps with two boys. In the morning she discovers that she can't find her purse and goes to the police to report it. The girl says she remembers downing a few shots but she can't remember how she got into the hotel room she woke up in. Police easily find a man who rented the room and his friend – Evans. Both men admit sleeping with the girl but say it was consensual. Never-you-mind says the Crown, and prosecutes them both for statutory rape.

Again. For those who are a little thick and did not get it. The two boys tell the police, "Yes, we had sex with her – but with the girl's consent." Girl says, "I don't remember anything." The Big Momma of the state gets itself involved and says "then it was statutory rape – done."

No allegations of physical force. No coercion – in other words, the two men were not the ones who drank with the girl.

Yet Evans is found guilty.

The most unfathomable, totally making no sense thing about the whole story is the fact that Evans' co-accused, another pro-footballer by the name of Clayton McDonald, was found not guilty.

"Too drunk to consent"

You can think whatever you like about the moral standing of the three people involved – aged 19, 23 and 24 respectively ( i.e. old enough to be called grown-up but not mature enough to think, it seems, from the gory details of their night out).

But the last time we checked there was no statute against getting pissed drunk and having a drunken romp. Not in Britain at least.

Because if there were, too many lads to count could be accused of statutory rape after many a pint on a Saturday night.

And yes – do throw a stone in our direction you, who never woke up in an odd bed trying to remember how you got there – and with whom.

So why the heck does the Crown get itself involved and why does the jury deliver a verdict that stuns the whole male half of the country and way beyond?
