Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2202541, member: 1853"] [eusa_clap.gi Totally agree with this Coxy - kids need to [u]have[/u] role models not to [u]be[/u] role models. Then they can grow up and be role models themselves. Yes and no. It can be a tricky legal minefield - not refusing doesn't always equal consent. Someone can be found guilty by reason of using power/influence/position - be it physical/emotional/psychological etc . It's why teachers can't have sex with students (whether they are over the age of consent or not); coaches with athletes; bosses with their secretaries etc, regardless of consent - if it can reasonably found that one of the parties had some kind of power or influence over the other which led the victim to believe they had no option. I am not defending the way she has handled this situation now, but I seriously doubt there would be many 19 year olds that once they have agreed to go back to a hotel room with one or 2 footballers, would have the strength of character or feel she was in a position to say no once the other 12 or whatever decided to also join in. There is no doubt she has suffered greatly emotionally and psychologically since the incident and I really do feel for her. Ultimately they were found not to have any case to answer, so in the eyes of the law they did nothing wrong. Morally - well we all have our own opinions there. [/QUOTE]
