Her testimony was "he pulled her 'roughly' by the arm in the direction of a men's toilet" ?
Well that certainly supports a claim of 'asking for it' ! Great mitigation. Clear evidence of contributory negligence or behaviour on her part. And people on here are arguing whether the toilet , where she was led 'roughly' was for men or for women ?
A man intent upon sexual assault might not care which it was, but should have the common sense not to take a teenage girl into the ladies' . Somebody might notice any bloke, never mind a famous one, in the ladies, and point out his error, not to mention report anything else untoward. If he chooses the men's a) he has an excuse for being there b) it puts the girl in the wrong; whatever happens, she is in there, so "she must have consented"..If Mr Roache is guilty, it won't be for lack of premeditation.
