It looks like a group of women did not like him sleeping around and so colluded together to accuse him of rape.

The more you read about the trial the more it appears to be women wanting revenge.

The prosecutors closing speech

'In her closing speech prosecutor Maryam Syed told jurors: 'Rape is not about sex. It is about power, it is about control, it is about coercion - physical and mental.'

If you look at it, the act of making false allegations is really similar ', it is about control, it is about coercion - physical and mental.'

They want to control your future, your reputation and have people doubt your past.

This is he said she said. If he now reports them to police for fake allegations, will they be prosecuted? Of course not even though the evidence is the same word vs word.

It is outrageous that this is the type and level of case that is being taken to court.

I cannot imagine the ones that do not make it to court.

There is something wrong when it is so easy for a man's life to wrecked by such an allegation.

There should be anonymity for the accused

The fact that we have prosecutors knowingly lie about cases like these and still take them shows the justice system is quite corrupt.

Those people have no conscience. I also think these women need to be charged and punished for making a false accusation, with the same penalty the court would’ve given him.

When rape is not about non-consensual sex it is not rape.

Feminist activists (not Women's activists) have normalised modern ideological principles that define rape as a disequalibrium of power between two people involved in consensual sex acts.

Given feminist ideology also places all men in positions of power and control over all women, this ideological approach to rape makes all men rapists, and all women victims, and dictates that men cannot be raped by women.

For the prosecutors in this case, the verdict should have been decided by the sex of the accused and the victim, not the merits of the evidence.

this is being a man in a nutshell in this society. if a woman doesn't like you they can say they were raped and you might as well be lined up against a wall waiting for a firing squad.

Half a decade of your gone-poof! Over something you didn’t do.

I know someone who had to do jury duty. She isn’t allowed to talk about the specifics of the case, for obvious reasons, but it was allegations against a young man for sexual assault. She said he clearly hadn’t done it. The ‘victims’ story didn’t match up. But she was in absolute tears telling me because the bloke looked similar to her own son. Similar look, similar interests, similar job. She sat through the trial thinking ‘that could be my son’. Despite the verdict being not guilty, his career was over.

cleared of raping people, so what did he do?

heyyourdumbguy · 2025-05-10T15:59:09+00:00

Very serious subject, but couldn’t help but laugh at this line:

'He's had a television career, a recording career, provided to him by Simon Cowell - one of the most influential people in music.”

Lol
