    Just been reading the story on another site. Very brave or very stupid by his club. Either they know something to take such steps but, it appears they’re willing to run the wrath if he’s convicted.

    All ifs and buts…. It will all come out in the end.
    Biggest thing for me though is, IF he’s proven innocent does he have the right to have her charged for false allegations?

    But if he was named, more women might be emboldened to come forward?

    That may all come out once it reaches court. The police can always arrest him again if anyone else comes forward once he attends court and is named. But flip the coin now. How about his name is all over the press/ media and he’s completely innocent?

    The thing is Brin, in our courts you get found not guilty. That isn't the same as being proven innocent. If you mean if he can categorically prove he is innocent (other end of country when it supposedly took place or something similar) then I suspect he may have a chance. But being found not guilty in court due to a lack of evidence wouldn't be enough. He would have to prove she was lying.
