You got me wrong - I believe they did it ... I just know that without an actual victim in court the case will fail ...

It's a self-solving problem...give it a few days and the truth will emerge.

The lack of a victim tends to suggest that it is a case of young fellas talking shit.

yea cause rape victims are always soo keen to tell all their mates/class mates they were rapped let alone publicly

[HenryDorsetCase]

I think it mainly depends on the seriousness of the crime. Plenty of people on KB admit to doing illegal things like operating a motor vehicle on a public road without a current vehicle license, speeding, smoking buds etc but I don't think the police are going to waste time on minor offences like that. If someone were to admit to rape or murder, then I guess things would be a lot different.

a lot of people here murder the English language every day. And nothing is done. OH THE HUMANITY

What the fuck's John Key got to do with it?

You got that out of my comment about young fellas talking shit.
Are you really that stupid?


Also, what have you got against Rap?

There were victims on the tv news stories - just blacked out and identity concealed and not preapred to talk to police or the courts ..

Only if one or two victims come forward and are prepared to talk in court ... a very hard thing for a young girl to do ...

That should be a capital A at the start of the sentence, and a better term would be "Many", rather than "a lot". Don't forget the full stop at the end of the last sentence. You're welcome.

As harsh as it seems, without victims prepared to speak up, this is all just hearsay.
Either the allegations are true and the way the media and public have reacted may not allow justice to take it's course, or the allegations are not true and some young men have had their lives ruined.

No, thank you. That was totally warranted and constructive criticism.

That's what I don't get. If they have potential video evidence (as alluded to by the accused), and they can verify the age of them and the victim (which shouldn't be too hard) - there is grounds for a statutory rape charge at the least. Surely if that's the case then the police have the grounds to be more proactive in acquiring the evidence? I suppose there's no way to know what's going on behind the scenes.

And just to be horrifically cynical - seeing how the police have known about this for two years, is it just pure coincidence that it comes to light the same week as the Harmful Digital Communications Bill is before parliament?


Here's a sample of the Bill, which could apply to a fair amount of posts on this forum:

Causing harm by means of communication device
“(1) A person (person A) commits an offence if person A sends or causes to be sent to another
person (person B) by means of any communication device a message or other matter that is—
“(a) grossly offensive; or
“(b) of an indecent, obscene, or menacing character; or
“(c) knowingly false

Guess they're a bit shy after the Dot Com fiasco?

If I say "I have murdered a hooker" on fb or kb, the cops can investigate, but until they find a body which I could have killed, they can't charge me with murder.

GTA much?

Hopefully they'll get their roasts busted.

How about "Ball busted"? Or "Butt roasted"?

A "many" of people makes no sense.

You missed that it should have been: "0h the inhumanity!", not "Oh the humanity"

Herbert Morrison begs to differ.

As frustrating as it is, that's the way the system works. No evidence has come to light to enable the police to lay charges.

Also, it's only a Bill before Parliament at present there's a long way to go before it becomes an Act.
