Which other such group? Not asking for a mate, asking for me as I rarely pay any attention to the news.

Cyclists, insulate Britain, Labour Party........
There's more than one, take your pick.
Only the Liebour party are really making the news at the moment but I suspect he means someone else, not that bunch of twats.
I had in mind the Old Etonian set - other end of the spectrum but same sense of entitlement
I think I mentioned in my original post that I thought there was more to this than we were being told....
I am with you in that it is very unusual for someone accused of such serious offences to be released on bail, especially when you look at Benjamin Mendy from across the City at my club who I know is alleged to have committed a higher number of offences, but has been remanded in custody pending trial later this year,
Something is not adding up. But again like I said in my original post, we should not be making judgements based on what the press report, they cannot be trusted at the best of times
We've also both more or less said that it's innocent until proven guilty.I think I mentioned in my original post that I thought there was more to this than we were being told....

I agree we shouldn't be making judgements; that was the whole point of me starting this thread. I was looking for an experienced and informed opinion on whether or not it was unusual that someone under suspicion of such serious offences would be released on bail, and that's exactly what I got
Mendy has been out on bail since January
OK, I stand corrected. Last I heard was that they had continued to remand him in custody.
Thanks for the update
There are numerous footballers who have served Prison sentences & returned to Football, Tony Adams, Jermaine Pennant, Nile Ranger, Marlon king, Lee Hughes & many more.
And one who is a convicted rapist who has dodged a seven year jail sentence who appears to be a hero to some in his home country
Robinho - the fugitive who still has supporters in Brazil
Robinho is set to be added to Interpol's most wanted list but it is not yet clear whether his football career is over.

Going only from memory here so I stand to be corrected, but Lee Hughes was the worst offender. He drove whilst drunk and killed someone then did a runner. Wanker. None of them ring any bells for sexual assault.
Marlon king if I remember correctly, Stan Collymore I think attacked someone.
Up in Scotland David Goodwillie who has been signed by Raith Rovers is now making headline news, in 2017 he lost a civil case and was branded a rapist by a judge, he hasn't been in front of a jury, also as far as I know he has been playing for another club and scoring goals without anyone saying anything, but he changes clubs and all he'll breaks loose to the point Nicola Sturgeon is getting involved, he should be tried in front of a jury
Sounds like he's scored a few home goals
and not with a good willie....Bastid.
Dunno about Marlon King, but definitely Stan Collymore. If memory serves, Ulrika Johnsson accused him of abuse of some sort.
Marlon King was worse than Collymore
He was awesome in Level 42
