Don't know how it works in UK but if someone is arrested, won't it then be "open" for the public to get the files from police (arrest warrant)? And then share the name ?
It’s not just potential defamation but also guaranteed contempt of court if a newspaper reports the name, I think.I have very limited legal knowledge but given how strict defamation laws are, I would assume the papers wouldn't publish names.
A certain former Icelandic player has never been named even though he was dropped etc and now releasedApparently not. I think they need to be charged.
To add to this:It’s not just potential defamation but also guaranteed contempt of court if a newspaper reports the name, I think.
He was released because of end of contract, nothing more than thatA certain former Icelandic player has never been named even though he was dropped etc and now released
Yup - speculation will mount when players go missing from training photos, or not with the team for international tours.Not in the papers they won’t name him, I’m sure there’s some sort of a law, I don’t think the Everton player has been named but everyone knows who it is.
I don’t think we have long to wait. If a player that fits the mentioned criteria is missing from a travelling tour party with no reasonable explanation it’s gonna be pretty obvious. But this really is gutter reporting either state the player if you can’t they don’t report it.
I would add that we should remember how the Bissouma accusations played out - accusations made, and then eventually, Bissouma was released from bail conditions with no further investigation.
Its possible the same thing occurs with this incident. I think Bissouma was photographed getting arrested - which put his name out there.
Right now a woman has made an allegation of rape/sexual assault, and the police are rightly following up.
Do we know the alleged victim is a woman?
Yes.Do we know the alleged victim is a woman?
‘Could have’ happened whilst abroad, travelled home and then reported it to local authorities rather than another country authorities ??I know
All I said was now released didn't say it was to do with anything!He was released because of end of contract, nothing more than that
Not 1 of ours?I’ve heard from a police mate of mine. Be interesting to see if it’s true or not. Won’t be naming any names.
If I remember correctly, Icelandic media mentioned him. I assume the laws regarding these sort of things are different in Iceland from the UK or something like that.Yup - speculation will mount when players go missing from training photos, or not with the team for international tours.
I think Gylfi's name came out when Everton suspended him.
