The footballer gets arrested thread

Two 19yo Premier League players arrested for rape.

Trying to figure it out and I can't see any club who has two 19 year old first teamers

Utd do. But dunno if it's specifically first teamers.

These stories usually end up being a couple of youth players you've never heard of

Premier League club boss wins anonymity in child sex abuse civil case

The alleged victim in this civil case reported allegations of sexual abuse to the police in 2021, but no further action was taken due to legislation which stated that if an offence of "unlawful sexual intercourse" took place between 1956 and 2004, and the alleged victim was a girl aged 13 to 15, she had to make a complaint within a year. The legislation only applies to girls, not boys.

Wtf

Sickening. Hope we get some sort of leak or reveal like when Ryan Giggs tried to cover up his affair (which was trivial compared with this).

The judge "concluded last month that the protection of the boss' identity was necessary to "secure the proper administration of justice", adding there was "no sufficient countervailing public interest" in his name being disclosed."

Seems reasonable to me. As long as due process happens, and he goes to trial if there's sufficient evidence, why should his name be reasoned now to a social-media frenzy?

"Of interest to the public" does not mean "In the public interest".
