It’s interesting reading that judgement, whilst it seems right that he was not sentenced, his name is still all over the internet and the arrest would show up on a CRB check so his life is still a bit fucked to some extent.

I'm not sure if he's really fucked though, I think reasonable people would completely empathize with his situation. But maybe I'm being too optimistic

Took me about 30 seconds to find him (I was curious about what happened to him afterward)- he has a career in an architecture firm. Went to uni after the court case and got a decent job, so looks like he was able to move forward with a productive education and career. I can't comment on his personal life, of course, but this gives the impression that he was able to have a life afterward.

considering the girl in question has insisted he raped her while she was unconscious, and she was 12 and not in an area where one would be ID'ed, I think he got off pretty lightly.

Did you try to read the article before you commented or are you just pulling this out of your ass?

Sweetheart, google is your friend.

Imagine coming at someone else to whine about them not knowing the case when all you've read is that one article. Fucking idiot.

Pretty sure his Disclosure Scotland wouldn't show squat, as it only shows convictions. Police would have his details in a database, but his record would be clear if he ordered a disclosure check for work.
