If new evidence comes to the front that there were more people involved, then we can look again at our stance and exactly what we feel the club could/should have done, but until that time anything else would just be conjecture. I supported the club throughout the Redruth rape allegations a couple of years ago, and can't see any reason for that to change now, at least not until we have more information.
It's like asking me if I'll still watch BBC programmes after what happened with Saville et al. Guilty by association can only go so far, people are accountable for their own actions, even in the case of heinous crimes like this one.
