An apt summary of the last 160 pages.

'The statement' implies that Evans is being punished by public opinion over and above the court sentence and that this is new. However, societal disapproval of sex criminals is not a new thing. It is a fact of life which has had to be faced by all released offenders. Those who want to reform...

All footballers are in the entertainment industry which relies on pulling punters through the door. Convicted rapists out on license don't tend to pull the crowds. I don't see anyone arguing that Jonathan King or Gary Glitter are being punished twice because nobody has given them a record deal.

The term 'mob rule' is a red herring. It shows a misunderstanding of the economic drivers behind decisions in this farrago. Oldham decided to try to sign Evans for financial reasons. He was seen as a £3m player available on the cheap. Oldham's sponsors are involved with Oldham for financial...

If you believe that this action will 'bring this to an end' I would suggest that you have a look at Oldham's forum: http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php/topic/46522-the-boycott-of-home-matches/ Far from bringing things to an end, this has already forced some lifelong supporters to take the decision...

Her right of anonimity which has been breached several times. Her right to be treated as a victim is still being questioned despite the jury decision and conviction. Her right to an apology for the treatment she has received. Her right to live under her own name in her home town. Her right to...

As I understand it, Evans responded to a message saying 'I've got a bird,' by deciding not to return home, as he was in the process of doing, but by re-routing his taxi to the hotel. The message did not say 'I've got a bird, who is willing to have sex with both of us, if you can trick your way...

If he is found to be not guilty of rape on appeal, he remains guilty of receiving a text saying 'I've got a bird' and taking that as an invitation to turn up uninvited to a hotel room, trick his way in and grab an opportunity to have sex with a girl he had never met. Having used her, he snuck...

I chose the word 'privilege' advisedly. Being paid to be a league footballer is something which is granted only to a very few. Those who, through the accident of birth, have the talent to be employed in this capacity, do have to work hard to succeed, but should understand that they have...

This is a view which has been stated by a lot of people in support of Evans playing again. However it is very quick to find out that ex-offenders are eight times more likely to be unemployed than the general populace. https://www.i-l-m.com/Insight/Edge/2013/April/employing-ex-offenders I have...

He does not need to admit guilt to show remorse. As I understand it, although Evans claims he is innocent he does not dispute that he got a message from his mate telling him that he had a girl with him and decided to re-route his cab to the hotel, get a second key and let himself into the room...
