Having myself served many years incarcerated , I feel this is a subject I'm somewhat qualified to comment on . Please do not get this twisted . My contempt for sex offenders is immense , and whilst in prison I treated them in the main as lepers , but saying that , just because a person is found guilty by a jury it does'nt always mean he his genuinely guilty .
As some will know the justice system is littered with miscarriages of justice , in fact , I have someone very close to me , who at this moment is residing in jail awaiting trial for a crime she was'nt even four miles near , trust me .
Rape is a very delicate subject , and my heart goes out to anyone who has been through such an horrific ordeal , however , I have met , and known individuals who have been wrongly convicted of the kind of rape that Ched Evans was convicted of , and believe me it's a brush you never want to be tarred with . One friend of mine , who it happened to suffered a mental breakdown in prison , and everyone believed he was innocent , but he just could'nt handle the tag of being a covicted rapist .
As I said I'm no apologist, I'm only sorry I could'nt have put my point across more eloquently , and please forgive my grammar .
