The lack of info in this case is pretty detrimental to any kind of discussion or analysis. It is strange, however, that such little information was made immediately available. Whole thing seems suspicious. I didn't want to post about it before because of what happened in the Muamba thread, but it seems that Lagos and Capi got right to it.
Only thing I can think of is that she wanted to have sex with one of them, but then when Evans showed up she was drunk enough not to articulate herself properly (as in: "don't want a three-some, fellas. Back off.") Morning came and she felt violated.
And obviously she remembers what happened. How could one be convicted and the other acquitted if she had no memory of what transpired? Silly.
All conjecture of course.
I had a friend convicted of raping his girlfriend. They were both drunk and had sex, as they had many time before. She said she didn't want to have sex and that he forced her to. He missed college and his life was essentially ruined, while she got a settlement that paid for her education.
She was a middle class white girl and he was a poor black guy. Nothing right about that in the slightest.
Sounds to me like judges in England are being too hard on just about everyone that is even slightly "high-profile" just to avoid the accusation that they are letting people "get away with it." The very idea that you can claim you were raped if you get drunk is absurd. I'm sure it would only work for a woman. If I (a heavily bearded man) walked up to a police station after a night of severe intoxication and sexual intercourse and said I had been raped and I don't remember it, could I get a woman incarcerated?! Highly doubtful. Just because you have a dick doesn't mean your decisions are never impaired.
Though these guys do seem like real fuckheads, so its also pretty likely that one or both of them were overstepping their bounds. It just seems like getting wasted with some pro footballers and ending up getting yourself in a situation you regret, i.e. a three-some with some big-time douche bags, shouldn't necessarily result in a net gain. As idiotic as they are, there must be a reason why so many fans, teammates, etc. have come out to say this is bogus.
