badaids Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 It doesn't look good does it. Can someone nip up to FF and see if he turns up for training tomorrow. If it's true he can always use the Prince Andrew defence that he's never broken into a sweat before. He's got 38,000 witnesses. johnh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 No fucking way. Please not. I saw someone on Twitter saying "please don't be a pedo" as soon as he was arrested, and I hoped it was just a poor joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Jesus, didn’t believe it all when the rumours first started. Mental. Im sure him and his wife tried for years to have kids, if this is true I feel terrible for his wife too. Romey 1878 and c1982 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 There is no happy ending here. Either there's a child that's been a victim here or it turns out that the rumoured player actually did nothing wrong (because they aren't the player or because the allegation was false) and has effectively had their life ruined. What a horrible, horrible situation. Matt, Newty82, c1982 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say without knowing the facts. In any investigation once the allegation is made it will be investigated which could include obtaining evidence from victims, witness's, examining any social media, or communication device(s), and an a host of other things. Any decision to charge would be made by the Crown Prosecution Service, once they had received all the evidence they needed to make a decision. As to how long it will take, who knows, weeks or months.

Cornish Steve Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 The only 31-year-olds in the Everton squad are Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fabian Delph, so it's clear that the former is the target of the investigation. https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/football-news/everton-star-gylfi-sigurdsson-suspended-over-arrest-in-alleged-child-sex-offences-case.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, very unfortunately, have personal experience of the procedure, not directly involved myself but close family members. It's actually taken years rather than weeks or months, but it's about very serious physical offences involving very young kids whereas this seems to be "only" (not in any way trivialising it) sending texts. That really should make it easier to reach a decision on whether to prosecute because the evidence is there hopefully, or not. In "my" case it's young kids being believed or the adult.

I'm sorry to hear that, I can only imagine how hard the whole process is. With reference to this we don't know all the facts, how many victims, over how long a period of time or other offences. I hope for all involved it is resolved as soon as possible. StevO, Palfy, MikeO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
