FFS his manager is a two bit snail, but who is giving him legal advice?
If I was a snail, I would now be considering legal action.

Maybe, just maybe, she's not in it for the money.
Because she couldn't be bothered? Because her families couldn't be bothered? because it wasn't all over the papers and there was no public perception to correct?
and neither will/can Johns now
My bad... but I'm sure you can see it's clearly opinion.you seemed to be statng it as a fact, not opinion
c) is now willing to personally spread the warning message to NRL players to be very careful of their actions and their respect for women involved in their future sexual dealings, by becoming a regular part of the NRL education program conducted by Vagana etc.
Exactly. He can use his standing in the league community(and obvious communications skills) to have a stronger impact perhaps than hearing the message from cleanskins like Vagana and O'Neill.I had a lecturer at TAFE about 5 years ago but was shocked to learn from a former classmate that I still see that he was in prison many years ago for rape. Not sure of the exact details but I'm told that it was actually aggravted rape.
Given this fella's general attitude and presence when I was around him I thought he was the guy least likely. Again not sure of the circumstances but I'm of the understanding he now actually works with rape victims and women's support groups.
A similiar ciriculum would suit Johns. I mean, I have no doubt he is still very well respected despite all this. The message would hit home stronger to the NYC squads etc with Matty on board.
It can't be defamation when its stating facts.
They cleary said within the show that there were not saying that a sexual assault happened.
They investigated and didn't find enough evidence to back up criminal charges... nothing more, nothing less.she complained to police alleging sexual assault - they investigated and found nothing to substantiate.
They names 3. Johns, Firman, and Gallen who was said to have entered the room when it was all over.then 4 cnrs dredges it up, naming one person out of possible 12.
As has been said plenty of times in threads, Johns' best approach from here is to accept that his Footy Show job was based on public image, and that his actions (not the consent issue) have caused that public image to suffer, and hence his TV jobs to be untenable at this point in time.I'm not saying 4 cnrs was, just that when it comes to Law nothing is black and white - stay tuned...
They named three people...edit - by naming him specifically (ie only) they have cast an assumption on him such that we have all debated (as has the media) - ie that he allegedly sexually assaulted her. the damage to his rep and career is immeasurable - and he has not committed any crime. I would be getting my lawyers to scour every word of that transcript and taking them to the cleaners if possible...
End of story... no legal argument.SARAH FERGUSON: Four Corners doesn't say that what took place in room 21 of the Racecourse hotel was sexual assault.
But a woman involved in degrading group sex can still be traumatised whether she consents or not.
