RE: Acquittal, But To What End? - Mendy, Greenwood
It would also be possible for Greenwood and Mendy to prosecute the women for libel and claim for “loss of earnings” - so there are legal options for the men to “punish” the women. It would make for an interesting dynamic if the women aren’t prosecuted and taken to court simply because of how bad justice is. Can both parties be not guilty? In the eyes of the law they can.
Lol.. Can both parties be "not guilty"? What an interesting perspective.
I doubt I've ever seen anyone prosecute the women. Maybe they (the men) just feel it should be let go. The faster they get it behind themselves, the better.
The only one that I can think of is Jonny Depp who sued for damages - that's probably the only way any of these footballers will ever really clear their name... and unlike Jonny Depp, they probably won't win much in damages because I can't imagine these women have much money.
There seems to be a lot in the media at the moment where celebrities are being cleared of sexual assault. I think the question of "can they reignite their career?" is being increasingly asked.
Fair enough.
