As the Appeal Court has considered the new evidence in this case it is to be hoped that he can go on and clear his name of the rape charge belatedly brought against him and for which there was never any justification. He was pilloried on social media at the time of the original trial when his offence appeared to be merely an offence which thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of youngsters commit every Saturday night without having the book thrown at them. I use the word "merely" advisedly, as his behaviour is just a sickening illustration of how far current morals have fallen. There was never any question of rape being committed but I feel physically sick when the undisputed events are described. Only overzealous policing resulted in charges being brought.
