This story is setting the sports world a-buzz at the moment.
However, there seems to be a news black-out as to who the perpetrators may be. There is an email doing the rounds at the moment with more info, has anyone seen it?

Interesting that other celebs were named and outed but there seems to be a news blackout on these.
Anyway, I hope no one is daft enough to post the names here because I would have to remove them if they did for legal reasons.

Well, yeah, but if someone said that they believed it was such and such a club or emailed me at [email protected], would that be a problem?
If it is, I'll remove the thread.
Hey Simon, you can do it if you like! I think you owe me a deletion or two.

Besides legal reasons, anybody idiotic enough to label somebody a rapist before found guilty should be ashamed of themselves.

Hamas,
You're absolutely right, I have altered my heading to include the word "alleged".
Englishman, chastened.

hm first I've heard of this.
out of curiosity, why is it a big deal if the names of the guys get out? Here in the US, it's all over the news about Kobe Bryant raping that girl in Colorado. Is it just a difference between the US and British (legal) system?
I'm saying this without reading the article so maybe when I get more time and read it then it will all become clear(er).

The accused are protected to not bias the case and in case it's just someone seeking attention I guess.

Innocent until proved guilty -- if the WTBTS - with apostasy -- guilty until proved innocent

Hamas, an excellent point. A great reminder not to judge others unless we know all the facts.

It interesting that they have not been named at all but I think its good but it should apply to everyone accused of a serious crime.
When Matthew Kelly was accused, he was named and went through trail by media and his career nearly ruined, and even though the case was totally dropped people will always remember that he was accused of something very serious.
