In evidence today, the woman said she had been drinking heavily and partying with friends at a Kings Cross nightclub in the early hours of September 4 when she noticed a number of football players were in the club
Comment : So the woman knew she was associating with persons with a public profile. She says she had been drinking heavily
Relevance? The woman has recognised the players- no crime here. She was drinking heavily- no crime here either. All I can see is you're trying to infer she saw an opportunity to make a buck. Pretty weak argument. It proves that she is able to identify who the players were, and hence was able to establish the identity of who her alleged attacker was. You don't know the details of the case and neither do I- so stop pretending you're the jury on a trial by media.
she remembered little of the evening, apart from dancing and drinking and kissing someone at the bar
had little recollection of the hours from about 3am until she woke up in an apartment just after 8am
Comment : No allegation of impropriety at this stage. Consentual kissing of person unnamed is noted.
Don't understand what you're trying to prove here. Consentual kissing has absolutely no bearing on whether or not consent was given for sexual intercourse, so again a weak argument here by you.
The court also heard the woman made 21 calls on her mobile phone, and caught several cabs, during the hours she said she could not remember
"she had no recollection of how she came to be in the apartment
Comment : A complete lack of background evidence regarding the prior nights events after leaving the club.
Relevance again? She had been drinking heavily and was having trouble remembering what had happened that night exactly. Theres nothing to confirm nor deny if she had been drugged or if she had been under the influence of any other substance, but again, I can't see what you're trying to prove here again. She got drunk and doesn't know how she ended up somewhere... does that make her a liar? (If you're inferring she was too drunk to remember she consented, refer to the new laws regarding an intoxicated person giving consent)
The 26-year-old said she became distressed after she went to the bathroom to discover her vagina was "red and sore'', and her black shorts were inside-out.
"I remember waking up on September 4 at about 8am ... I was on a lounge with a brown doona cover over me ... I was quite dazy,'' the woman said today.
"I've gotten up from my chair and gone into the bathroom and I realised that my pants were inside-out. "I didn't know what had happened to me," she said."
Comment : So it is at this point that the woman contends there is something wrong but doesnt know what happened. How does anyone know wether she herself or someone else put her undies/shorts on in reverse ?
If someone else put her pants on in reverse, its still a form of sexual assault... but thats ap retty weak argument by you again :lol: How do you explain the injuries around her genitals? Did she inflict those on herself too? You have made a lot of hearsay assumptions.
"In fear, I was so scared, I pushed record on my mobile phone as I was walking out of the bathroom.''
The court then heard details of the phone recording, in which an unidentified man is heard to say "thanks for the orgasm''.
"You're gonna be sorry, your mate will be sorry'' the woman says in the recording"
Comment : Of what is she scared if she could not recall anything about the events from 3-00am till this point ? Theres no clear evidence of anything here other than a veiled threat is made against the accused.
You're the one who has said "We don't know the facts", yet you are deducing from media articles that there is no evidence? Again you're making assumptions. Acting very hypocritical here. You don't know if she had passed out at some point (after making 21 phone calls) and was brought to the room unconscious. You don't know the circumstances, and neither do I nor anyone here... so rather than making a sweeping statement that there is no evidence, stick to your own advice.
the woman claims she was drugged and sexually interfered with
"The woman said she started crying and she left the apartment immediately and got a cab to a friend's home. I told him (cab driver) to hurry up, I think I've been raped"
The 26-year-old woman told police she might have been sexually assaulted
Comment : There is a disparity in the original allegation of being drugged aswell as sexually assaulted. The woman has stated that she is not sure if a sexual assault took place.
She was initially unsure in the confusion of event. Evidence taken by police (as stated in the media...) and initial observations deduce that sexual intercourse had occurred that night between the female and an undisclosed person. We don't know if the police believe there is enough evidence to suggest sexual assault had occurred. But obviously, the police have some belief and evidence that intercourse/assault has taken place, or else the case would be thrown out of the commital hearing.
A RAPE case against NRL player Anthony Laffranchi is reported in the media.
The 26-year-old woman, who cannot be named
Comment : the person with a public profile has his name dragged through the mud while there is anonimity for the person making the allegation however flimsy
So basically your argument here is she is gold digging? Laffranchi was charged under the Crimes Act (1900) and hence his alleged offence is public record, so his name can be published. Laws prevent alleged rape victims having their name published. Again, you are basing your assumption that the evidence is "flimsy" on what you've read in the media... take your own advice again, you dont know all the facts
There is much more of a case in this thread to have some of the dimwitted posters charged with making a spurious or vexatious assumptions without any basis in fact and the character assasination of someone for their own petty grandstanding motives.
:roll: All you've tried to do is character "assassinate" the alleged victim. Take your own advice, stop being a hypocrite.
