Balmain Ryde-Eastwood's State Cup players quizzed on gang rape claim

[Dutchy]

Wow. If they are guilty, after knowing she is Intellectually Challenged...Grubs of the highest order.

 

[butchmcdick]

How could they be guilty, they are rugby league players ? That seems to be the reaction of most here.

 

[God-King Dean]

Can't blame people for being doubtful with the amount of scrubbers out there who lie about this sh*t.

 

[Pete Cash]

Can a handicap person (ie a mentally handicap) even consent to sex legally?

In NSW you can't legally consent to sex if you are drunk so I would be curious if this would fly in NSW,I am not sure what the story is in Queensland though. Just wondering if anyone has more information.

 

[God-King Dean]

Good question.

 

[El Diablo]

if they arent charged they should sue the pants off her father

And this is where the law becomes ridiculously skewed against men

 

[bartman]

Why does that make it skewed against men?

Because they can't "get consent" legally from every intellectually disabled woman that they want to group f**k? :roll:

As I've said, if footy players were a bit more choosy about what they stick their dick in, there wouldn't be any problems...

 

[Parra]

And this is where the law becomes ridiculously skewed against men

Rape laws have to be skewed against men. What planet do you live on?

 

[Glenn]

the father is speaking as if he was there

i don't like him already. media whore

If he was there the word Voyeur comes to mind. :shock:

Quoted for truth. Keep it in your pants!!

 

[Loudstrat]

With you around - definitely.

It really depends on the capacity to make such as decision. "Intellectual Disability" is a very vague term and could just been a learning disability, etc. But the short answer to your question is yes and no. No, if they are ruled to not have the capacity to consent.

And this is where the law becomes ridiculously skewed against men

Nope. Men can't give consent if they are drunk either. But this being said, you will be the first person to say that the law is ridiculously skewed for a paedophile.

We are the victims, Tigers accused claim

By Josh Massoud and Adam Walters | March 03, 2009 12:00am

FIVE Balmain Tigers players accused of gang rape have said the woman involved offered to sell her silence before lodging a complaint. The Daily Telegraph can reveal Queensland detectives are also poring over an extortion link to Sunday morning's events on the Sunshine Coast, which saw the NSW Cup players kept interstate for questioning.
The lower grade footballers are alleged to have gang raped a 23-year-old woman in a unit at the Rydges Oasis Resort in Caloundra on Saturday night.
Do you know anything about the alleged incident? Call in confidence on (02) 9288 3413
Her father has also claimed that the woman is mentally handicapped.
The woman and her 20-year-old sister met the players at a post-match function at the Caloundra RSL. Witnesses have told The Daily Telegraph the majority of the side were drinking heavily.
The two women accompanied the footballers back to the team hotel after midnight, where the younger sister paired off with a single player. The woman then alleges she was gang raped by "six or seven" players.
Tigers vow thorough investigation
Another witness claimed to have seen a group of Tigers players with two women at a service station later in the night.
The un-named woman showed bruising to a TV crew to support the claims, while her father told Channel Seven she had been raped. But several sources close to the Balmain club told The Daily Telegraph the woman and her sister had phoned one of the players after the alleged incident.
"They basically told him that, unless the players came to the party, they'd go to the police," the source said.
It is understood all five Balmain players told detectives during interviews on Sunday that they were concerned about extortion.
They were released without charge after providing DNA samples. Balmain are confident the players will be cleared.
Superintendent Ben Hanbidge said an inquiry was "in full swing".
Also in town for a trial were Melbourne Storm players, who onlookers said were abused by the Tigers contingent.

And how many have been found guilty so far?

Forget about the alleged rape, theres something to be outraged against. Fancy those fellatio loving, celler-dwellars to even have the gaul to look at the mighty Storm players.

Just earned youselves a beat-down sorry to say Tiger fans.

I have a problem with the no consent while drunk. Should nobody have sex while drunk, because there's the chance the woman might be too drunk, not remember it the next day, and decide she must have been raped? Sure, Men can't consent while drunk either, but how many times does a bloke wake up claiming he was raped?

 

[ibeme]

What if the male and female were both deemed to be too drunk to be able to give consent?

Can they both be found guilty of raping each other?

And how is any individual qualified to determine whether someone has the mental capacity, or is in the right state of mind to consent in such cases? If one happened to throw themselves at the other, but was later found to be mentally impaired in a not so obvious way, but incapable of giving consent, what happens then?

Which ever scenario favours the female.
