  2. Here we go again. I hope that if there is a victim and this did happen, then justice can be served to the person who did this.

  3. How does the press get away with describing a person in such a manner that it basically identifies him without naming him.. There’s only like two or three people that fits the description, that will create rumors about an innocent man in addition to the suspect in question. British press i guess

  4. We shouldn’t hear about this. It’s really not fair. Tell us after the trial if there’s a guilty verdict. Tabloids are scum.

  8. Wouldn’t 24 years old international football star be with his national team? Why would he be in London during national week. Also England played on Thursday in London, the day before his arrest. Most likely someone with ties with England national team.

  9. People really looking too much into the ‘premier league and international football star’

    He’s probably some lad who got 2 caps for a youth international team and was in the premier league teams academy.

  11. Without giving any thought, there’s a certain ex Utd player that is coincidentally 24, ex England player and publicly fell out with the manager 🤔.

  13. One factor I havent seen anyone else consider is that this player was staying in a hotel in London. This raises the question of why he is London in a hotel and whether that would rule some people out.

  15. What legal reasons are there to stop a suspected rapist being named? Genuinely curious, I don’t necessarily disagree with it since the implications being accused of rape are massive whether found guilty or not, but I’m not aware of this usually happening?

  16. Find out if the alleged victim is shopping their story around first. The police can make an arrest after a complaint, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that complaint is valid. That’s why the player isn’t being named.

  17. These posts should be locked from the off as people suggesting names creates a potential false narrative.

    For example I’ve seen Angel Gomes’ name a few times yet it specifically says born overseas he was born in London.

  19. The law needs to change on what can and can’t be reported. This current approach just leads to speculation and the implication of innocent people.

  20. Why do redditors jump to proclaim potential rapists are innocent, even when it’s a situation as new as this? It seems weird. Obviously speculating is a no-go but the way some of you are pre-emptively defending them is wild to me.

  21. I just think all criminal proceedings should be anonymous until and unless a trial has concluded.

  22. it’s so exhausting being a female football fan. people don’t realise that even if this isn’t real, it’s just a reminder of the horrible things that men can do to us. it feels like it never ends.

    edit : no longer replying because people are trying to twist my words and misunderstand me on purpose.

  25. Well, I suppose that’s possible, but it seems the incident occurred in London at that very hotel on that very time period. Unless my reading comprehension is eluding me. Correct me if I’m wrong.
