Bigsby Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 OK, can I just make clear from the outset that I do NOT find sexual assault funny, but this article is still brilliant.BBC News - N-Dubz drummer Fagan guilty of sex charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedo 808 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Aye, I heard about this a while back - the way the case was reported makes it sound like a heap of shit. The guy sounds like a prick in all honesty, but a funny prick. Glasgow's "hardly a haven for models". Funny as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm nay being funny, but what exactly was the evidence that went against this guy?The story sounds like a load of shit to me.He probably grabbed their arses, and did cop a feel, whether or not they were up for it or not is impossible to prove. But it sounds like there was fuck all evidence against him.You've got to wonder why they were letting him lead them upstairs in the first place if they weren't interested in him.He might actually be telling the truth. But they might be telling the truth. I know this isn't a rape case, but it's similar in how difficult it is to prove. It's often one person's word against the other's. If someone says, yeah we had sex, but it was consensual, how the fuck do you prove otherwise?I'm guessing this guy did himself no favours with his conduct in court, and the judge made the call.

Oedo 808 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah, but to me it sounds like he was convicted of nothing more than being an uppity negro (and that's not the word) who didn't know his station. I bet you any money the girls were white. Also, they were at an N-Dubz gig so the evidence leads me to believe they were total fucking bams.

Why has a guy been charged without any evidence? I'm not supporting him. However, everyone in this country deserves a fair trial.1) He's a sex pest. Please show me the evidence.2) He felt up some young girls. Could you back this up with evidence?As usual I have to defend myself i.e. I find sexual attacks appauling etc etc ..... However, what if (I know it's a tiny chance) he didn't do anything wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 For the record - I wasn't taking the side of the N-Dubz guy. I was just saying that cases like these often don't have sufficient evidence or the normal amount of required evidence in other criminal cases.The story on the BBC website sounds like a load of shit, but it's painted from the guy's side to an extent. The only thing against the guy in the story (from how I remember it anyway) was his conduct in court, and his all round shitty attitude. It made it sound like two girls said they got their arses felt, but there was nothing to prove it happened or didn't happen.That's not to say that there wasn't proper evidence or more eye witnesses to attest to what happened in court.The guy got convicted and all I'm saying is he maybe did it or he maybe didn't - sometimes the evidence is a bit ropey, and it can often be one person's word against another's, which normally would just get chucked out of court before it got there, but in rape / sexual assault cases because of the nature of the offence (i.e. often involving a 1 on 1 situation with no real way of proving the alleged facts) lighter evidence seems to get the case to court, and it's then up to how the arguments / comments of each side are taken by the judge/jury.

Oedo 808 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 shite, you can't compare one of the most documented trials in recent memory to one which merits a small article on the bbc website.I'm not comparing the trials, I'm illustrating how illogical you're being. Questioning evidence or the facts in a legal trial doesn't make you a supporter of illegal activity. If that were the case we might as well dispense with the entire legal system.i've made up no stories, the guy is now convicted and on the sex register. he can't accept his conviction because he wasn't caught on cctv, he clearly believes he can go around touching up girls when there's no cctv.You sound like a cross between Jeremy Kyle and the Paedofinder General.it's not my job to present further evidence to prove this. do you honestly believe he didn't do anything wrong?No one asked you to present any evidence. Otherwise you'd have been at the trial and could tell us all exactly what happened. I agree it's not your job but you've taken it upon yourself to be in support of this smoking gun of which we have no evidence. I just want to know if the role of "Defender of the Mythical Evidence" also come with a magical sword and the mighty white steed you charged in on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 The drummer also gave evidence at the trial and told the court that he is like "honey to a swarm of bees" when it comes to female fans.What?! He was actually created by his female fans from nectar which they collected from flowers?! "Tell me how many people could have been convicted for squeezing a girl's arse, nearly every guy could be up for that."Suggests he did it and thinks it is a widely accepted norm.

We know it's not your job but you're making a real job of it. Hog didn't expect his request from you to unveil new facts. His questioning was, in essence, rhetorical; it illustrated your inability to answer with a little thing like facts. I guess "it's not your job" to answer questions with facts."how do any of you know there was no evidence presented?"The point is we don't know. That's the issue. That's why the question "What was the evidence?" came about in the first place. It's only you who seems to think that asking reasonable and logical questions or having a degree of scepticism about the conviction makes us supporters of a 'sex offender'.

Monster Zero Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 "The drummer of award-winning band N-Dubz has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two women in Glasgow."You know the thing about this headline that bothers me most? The fact that N-Dubz have won any kind of award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
