How do you get 9 years for that?

 

[giorno]

Horrible, and he's not even gonna go to jail unless the brazilian governemnt decides to hand him over, which they probably won't

 

[squiggle]

Holy hell. I wonder if he'll be extradited - there was all that anger about Brazil's refusal to extradite Cesare Battisti.

 

[Zarlak]

Because it's a very serious crime?

PC gone mad innit

 

[manutddjw]

He just can’t go to Italy. I know here in Canada there’s an arrest warrant for that Piazon guy whose probably still on Chelsea’s books.

Don't sexually assault people ?

 

[Raees]

Vague on detail

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.

That is pretty shocking if true, and not that i don't believe the victim, but i don't have much faith in the Italian authorities after how they handled the Meredith Kurcher case.

Or any country with an extradition agreement in place, which I suspect would be most of Europe.

There was this footballer in Uruguay who also had a warrant from Italy and always got injured for games in Bolivia as the moment he set foot there they would ship him off.

Because you can’t go around gang raping people

The charges against Piazon were dropped nearly 2 years ago.

 

[prath92]

He is just gonna do a Roman Polanski for the rest of his life

Do we know any of the details yet? The article doesn't mention anything, but assault could be anything from grabbing her ass to outright rape couldn't it?

I'm guessing they don't give you 9 years for nothing though.

Group sexual assault. Means gangrape or attempted gangrape

There were loads of rape allegations against football players in that era: Ronaldo, Jonny Evans, Van Persie to name but three, none were convicted but in light of modern times it makes you wonder.

I'm assuming you mean he got off light because otherwise I'm absolutely stunned to your post!!

Actually no, it's violenza sessuale di gruppo, so gang rape it is

 

[We need an rvn]

Two threads on the same issue. Can someone merge??

 

[Liver_bird]

Seems to be common place amongst people with money.

 

[Hugh Jass]

In todays age you have to be so careful. I remember someone telling us that once. Because there was a guy up in court for rape in my area. Basically a he said/she said case with drink involved.

Maybe you're right, maybe it's because we have more press coverage.

I think a few people mistake sexual assault for something a wee little less serious - sexual harassment. I know I did a few years ago in all honesty.

He raped someone ffs! What's wrong with you?

 

[VP89]

Why would Brazil not hand him over? Surely they'd have to oblige whoever it is

 

[Dirty Schwein]

I don't get footballers. They probably have a big pick oft girls that would Shag them but they want to gangrape instead... Baffling.

If it's true, hope the cnut goes to jail and have to hold t-bag's pocket.

They would only have to oblige if they had an extradition treaty with Italy.

Loads of countries don't have extradition treaties. For example, one of Britain's most famous criminals, Ronnie Biggs, spent decades in Brazil living a playboy lifestyle. Spain had an extradition treaty with the UK but suspended it due to some political disagreement, so many of Britain's most wanted criminals fled there.

Hmm maybe your onto something here. it was the space nightclub inciddent in 2009.he was arrested then released maybe paid some hush money somewhere.what gets me is hes steaming rich and will hardly struggle for attention.why on earth does anyone stoop so low the mind boggles.

 

[Liver_bird]

Indeed.
Unfortunately eradicating these behaviours seem to be a pretty strenuous task. All things considered.

If I'm not mistaken, more than 90% of people who are accused of rape walk free. Generally when it's a case of "he said/she said", it will not count as sufficient evidence.

The "innocent until proven guilty" philosophy makes it incredibly hard to prosecute rapists, unfortunately. Not that we could have it any other way, though. A society based on mob justice and/or guilty until proven innocent, is a much scarier society than what we currently have.

 

[lsd]

Multiple rape?

 

[giorno]

There's no extradition agreement with Brazil. We've spent the last 15 years fighting them to hand over Cesare Battisti, a terrorist, to no avail

 

[Pagh Wraith]

Personally I think 9 years is too much for rape considering murder only gets you around 20 in most countries. Also the court ordered him to pay the victim 60,000€ in compensation. What the heck? I think 3-5 years in prison and a high six- or seven-digit sum would be appropriate.

 

[Kostur]

Look at Polański's case, been in Switzerland, Poland and other countries and nobody ever sent this fecking scum back to the USA. It's generally speaking okay to sexually abuse people as long as you're a celebrity, you'll get plenty of fecking nobodies alike behind you.
