From what I can see, he’s been convicted of rape which last time I looked was a very serious offence.
Not sure how it all works with him being convicted in his absence though and whether he would have had someone in court representing him or not.
Way back when he was at City, there was an allegation of sexual assault (it might have been rape come to think of it) at a Leeds nightclub made against him but nothing ever came of it and the general assumption was that it was a false allegation. Makes me wonder in light of this news whether there was something in it after all.
