For police to re-open a case 3 years later after closing it with no charges filed, only to then charge 5 people with sexual assault seems pretty damning.

They wouldn't reopen the case and lay criminal charges for no reason, new damning evidence must have been brought forward.
Maybe? Or maybe it was the intense public pressure?

Seems weird that new evidence would unfold after nearly six years. But maybe it has? All I can say is none of us know at the moment.

Seems even weirder police would re-open a case they closed 3 years ago and lay 5 charges of sexual assault down on people they deemed not guilty, purely because of public pressure.

Does that happen? Ever? Seems extremely unlikely.

"Yeah we already investigated, and yeah we already found them not guilty, but people are upset by that so we're going to charge 5 people with sexual assault" I can't even imagine a scenario where this happens.

Also… what public pressure? Not saying there’s none, but it’s not exactly a super pressing story. They’ve dragged this thing out for years. FFS, the police department just announced a press conference for 2 weeks from now. Could you imagine the cops in one of the high profile cases in this country being like “we’ll get back to you in 2 weeks”?

London Police Service: We understand that there is significant public interest in relation to a sexual assault investigation dating back to 2018. We anticipate that the LPS will hold a press conference on Monday, February 5, 2024, to share further details.

Presumably, this gives all 5 guys time to report and be processed/charged, apply for bail.

You've never heard of people being sexually assaulted? It's not rare, sorry to say.

Also, no one in this thread has tried normalizing it. Unfortunately, it seems people aren't thoroughly reading the discussions
If you meant to say that sexual assault isn't uncommon you did a poor job of conveying that.

It seemed like you were saying that "running a train on an inebriated girl" wasn't uncommon.

If they ever wanted to implement a “Caucasians” to balance out the Indian themed team names Utah would be probably be the most applicable.
The Utah Great Whites.....

Speculation the victim will be a full on witness in the trial according to Westhead.
Yikes.....as if there isn't enough graphic details out there.

Why do the Flyers "heff" to be dramatic?

But we have plenty to deal and get back draft capital. So it's not great, but it's also not necessarily crippling.
That’s if we even start dealing tho. I think, at most, we just move one of seeler or walker. Laughton isn’t going anywhere. I don’t see us really trading pieces for draft capital unless we are seriously out of a playoff spot, sadly
