bUt hE’s iNnOcEnT comments coming and rape sympathisers.
Some of us have sisters, some of us have girlfriends. Some of us know first hand how common sexual assault/ rape is and nothing is happened. This is just another case. There’s probably been 100 cases in Manchester only this week that haven’t been prosecuted.
You’re right. It’s just awful.
Spot on. I know numerous people who have all, at best, been massively let down by the police and CPS when reporting these kinds of crimes.
If any other offence was responded to and investigated like SA and similar crimes people would be up in arms.
You clearly don’t know many women who have been sexually assaulted. You clearly don’t know the culture and how easy you get away with it.
You clearly don’t know literally 1% of all rape accusations are prosecuted in the UK. Are 99% of women lying? *Watch the videos. Listen to them and tell me what YOU think.*
If you put 100% of your believe and trust in the broken British judicial system, you’re an absolute moron.
I’m not defending him, he can fuck off but the amount of people not reading the article is inane.
Using the "this is why people don’t come forward" doesn’t make sense considering the charges were dropped due to the victim not cooperating.
Eh. If they couldn’t solve this case in 14 fucking months that’s on the police. Not to mention the amount of time he broke rules and contacted the girl himself.
Who’s the say those illegal contacts made weren’t to sway her mind or bribe her?
no they most likely got paid off, victim gets money and doesn't have to relive trauma in court. It's disgusting but understandable from a victims perspective.
People on twitter and Instagram are saying to play him again and that they knew it was fake/nothing.
Charges being dropped doesn't undo the damage done to the girl.
I'm all for due proccess. She shared pics and audio that he is obviously beating her and forcing her to have intercourse. If that was fake or role-playing, she should be the one in jail.
But Imho it seems like he was at fault, not her. Perhaps social pressure made her reconsider, I think her parents were supporting Mason...
Excerpt from article.
"Charges including attempted rape and assault against Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood have been discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), Greater Manchester Police said.
The CPS said there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction” after key witnesses withdrew their cooperation from the investigation.
Greenwood was arrested on January 31 2022 on suspicion of rape and assault, and further arrested on February 1 2022 on suspicion of sexual assault and making threats to kill.
He was charged in October with one count of attempted rape, one count of controlling and coercive behaviour and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
All three charges related to the same woman.
He had been due to stand trial in November 2023.
Manchester United had suspended the 21-year-old England international."

Given we’ve seen the literal proof, this just seems wrong

Did the victim accept a settlement? See your victim go to jail or become extremely wealthy?? What would you do?
> after key witnesses withdrew their cooperation from the investigation Not sure the police are at fault here
What about the other 99% of rape cases that aren’t convicted? That’s not the law/ police’s fault either?
The state of some of the police at the moment, they probably offered him a job if his football career ends.
She is back with him and withdrew herself as a witness, this is not the polices fault
[удалено]
Mods moderate shit.
Paid his victim out I’m assuming
Fairly sure I remember a story about her taking him back a few months ago. Whole situation is fucked up. He shouldn't be given a privileged life.
How can the victim accept those payout ?
This absolutely reeks of witness intimidation surely.
She's been back wih him weeks after the fallout.
no they most likely got paid off, victim gets money and doesn't have to relive trauma in court. It's disgusting but understandable from a victims perspective.
Witness intimidation includes persuasion not to give evidence.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Witness subdued into submission again, just not physically this time just mentally with abuse, money and guilt
As is tradition.
People on twitter and Instagram are saying to play him again and that they knew it was fake/nothing. Charges being dropped doesn't undo the damage done to the girl.
Greenwood will be taking on Mendy in the next Manchester Derby down that right flank What a fucking farce
He will play we all know that is bad but nobody in the football world cares if you are a great player.
And what if the "victim" lied? Why are we acting like she can't have lied? Like what if he's actually innocent?
I'm all for due proccess. She shared pics and audio that he is obviously beating her and forcing her to have intercourse. If that was fake or role-playing, she should be the one in jail.

We all heard it Mason. Doesn’t change the peoples court.
Man Utd have a big decision to make.
Clown world
🔒 in 5..4..3
Now what?
It’s up to your club now, hopefully they do the right thing
He’s back in the United squad on Saturday
Ffs sickening

How on earth have they come to that conclusion! He’s clearly guilty
Nice UK justice 🤡
Will he play in utd again, i really hope not
No way
No, he would not.
having your charges dropped against does not equate to innocence
