Bob Gurney's Ghost
Striker
As I recall there were some rather unsavoury boastful texts from the lass afterwards which were exposed as having made her not quite the victim she seemed...And that's why he was initially locked up. They had decided she was incapable of giving consent especially given prior evidence when she was splatted on the floor outside a pizza shop, so they looked to each individual who slept with her and their actions to suggest they'd went to reasonable lengths to think they had consent. Evan's mate had chatted with her, been in a queue with here and went back in a taxi with her. Evans turned up when she was getting rattled and basically got straight in. They initially concluded he hadn't done enough to assume he had consent.
I'm not aware of what happened or what new evidence was provided in the retrial and how he got off, maybe he had done more, maybe they just threw more money at it and found some technicalities - I've no idea. But his actions that night in both the lead up to sleeping with her and leaving the hotel were pretty poor and as we saw with the campaign afterwards and the things coming out of the Evans camp and centering on the girl when she shouldn't have been named, this is one we really should stay clear of. We just don't need the baggage or the negativity it brings.
