Walking in a crowed space , shopping mall for example ,could cause you problems .

I don't think that any blokes would think this could happen

[ummmm]

I wonder what the sufficient evidence was with no witnesses and no forensics?

What about crowded trains, buses, concerts.....

[jackthehat]

It's a shocking case.
Having read earlier newspaper articles, I had hoped that there was something missing from the reports which would explain quite why the prosecution went ahead.

It seems that there wasn't.....

[ummmm]

Do you think the fact that she was a well known actress made a difference? I would like to think not...

Except perhaps the 'fame' and sensitivity of the 'victim'.

[jackthehat]

Whoever she is I don't think the CPS did her any favours (or men and women in general) in proceeding with the case on such flimsy 'evidence'.

Sounds like the accuser has a screw loose. (lucky for him it was on cctv)

[shoota]

Oooh! Did you just brush against me svejk?

[ummmm]

Blimey...that is completely nuts.

She wants to take a walk down Ferry Road at 11am. She would soon have something to complain about. I got accosted by a drunk at that time. Completely off his head on something...He wasn't violent in any way just wanted to play silly games.

I think this "well known" actress should be named. Why has this man been put through this and the actress not even named "for legal reasons"?
Seems no evidence for a case to be brought at all.

I read this on the BBC website this morning, and I couldn't see a reason why the CPS should have pursued this case at all.

I wonder if the Police will now investigate why the "well-known" actress made false claims ?
