A question to everyone regarding this topic.
Have any of the people that have expressed their opinions on this subject ever actually had any personal experience of what it is like to be wrongly accused of rape ?

Serious question . Because if you have not , then you really do have no idea what it is like . Oh yes you can have an opinion on what it might feel like . You can try to imagine how your family , friends , employers etc may react . Or take a guess at how people that are only aware of your existence because they saw your name and picture in the local paper might treat you if they meet you in the street .

In my opinion anyone (male or female) that wrongly makes an accusation of rape deserves all they get . It can totally destroy the life of the person who is wrongly accused .
In this case the girl is now dead . Very unfortunate for her . But if such accusations are false then they can result in the accused having to face a future with very little prospect of employment , relationship or inclusion in the social life they used to have . A fate worse than death . At least death is finite .

Name them and shame them , and let them live with the consequences of their actions . If it results in them topping themselves then so be it .

Rant over for now .

Aye, and a girlfriend's daddy who happens to be a multi-millionaire AND willing to bankroll the campaign to clear Evans' name.

It must be marvellous preaching from your pulpit of righteousness!! In doing so you castigate a huge chunk of society - oh the crassness of your attitude.

What you on about now? If you have a point about anything I've said, feel free to make it. "Castigating huge chunks of society"? "Pulpit"? "Righteousness"? Do you even know what you're talking about yourself? I doubt it.
