All that is being reported in Court seems little short of disgraceful. Evans is having the appearance of being a dangerously out of control sex maniac and bully, and everybody seems to have been aware of it but stood around and did nothing, for years on end. Gives us Swansea chaps a bad name.

I'm surpised he still has his own teeth.

[sir.prize]

That's true pixie. However, it still comes over as weird behaviour - if of course the allegation is proven to be true blah blah blah

If proven could he be looking at 150 hours community order just like a policeman who beat up a woman?

[mikey4444]

Whether his advances on other men were appreciated or not, its behaviour uncoming of a senior Member of the Houses of Parliament. Some of these alleged incidents occurred within the Palace of Westminster. He is not on trial for being a homesexual....that fact was known many years ago in his home town and isn't a crime any longer, nor should it be. But there is every evidence that he got drunk and forced himself on other men. The fact that some of these other men may also have been homosexual is not the point. If no can mean no between and woman and a man, it is equally so between two chaps.

Male on male sexual assaults are rarely mentioned in the press but are widely believed to be a growing problem.

isn't this alleged at this stage, or did we miss something

[sir.prize]

Yep - it is alleged emmie.

If rape is however proven, what punishment do you think should be meted out?

Seeing as how everyone in the story is gay - then yeah, I think it's safe to say you've missed the point.

[Sqad]

sp....LOL.

How do we know that all the "participants" were gay?

[emmie]

sir p, he should go to prison.

[anneasquith]

sqad...........................because he still has his teeth ! :)

[Sqad]

anne...:-)

I know the nightclub where the alleged offences took place.

Let's just say that if there WAS a straight bloke in there, he would have been very, very, very lost indeed...

[sp1814]

Oh hang on...just clocked then story again. I'm not sure that this all relates to the same place (looks like Mr Evans has been rather busy).

[jomifl]

/Let's just say that if there WAS a straight bloke in there, he would have been very, very, very lost indeed... /
So sp, are you implying that homosexual behaviour is so abnormal that normal people couldn't cope with it? Please enlighten us :o)

[emmie]

doubt it, likely a straight bloke wouldn't necessarily find himself in one of these haunts, if he did it would be because he was lost, drunk, and didn't realise it was a gay bar,

[sunny-dave]

I'd quite like to see the words 'alleged' and 'unproven' featuring a bit more in this thread.

[jomifl]

alleged ....unproven.... there ya go!

[emmie]

SD, i have on two occasions.

[sunny-dave]

I know emmie - apologies to you, but some others were less careful.

[emmie]

its the trouble with t'net we all get a bit carried away...

[Peter Pedant]

quiet day in court to day as far as I can allege.

More of the same presumably.
