OT: Matthew Johns issue

It's been making massive news here in non rugby Melbourne so the media in NSW (and QLD?) must be in a feeding frenzy
Poor bastard has been flicked from his media and coaching commitments for what amounts to a group sex session by consenting adults..........7 years ago. His only crime as far as I can see was to shag someone other than his wife, and that's an issue that's between he and his wife
I know there's been a few episodes of rugby players and sexual assaults although I don't reckon this was an assault in any way shape or form
What do you guys make of it all?

his missus seems to have forgiven him. As far as i can see that's the end of story.
all the commentators and administrators who all have harsh opinions must never have stepped a toe out of line themselves. Otherwise they are complete and utter hypocrites.
and i hate sanctimonious hypocrites.

I honestly think he is the scapegoat, Sure he has fucked up. But the sex was consentual so i don't see any issue.
Some scum bag reporter has gone out of there way to interview her 7 years later just to get a headline. fornicating leaches is what they are.

The whole thing is a farce. It now seems that the girl was bragging about the encounter to workmates the day after it happened... five days after that she reported it. A full investigation follwed where it was found that none of the players had anything to answer for. 7 years later they make a fuss over it

The only thing that concerns me about this is Johnsy's health. Hope you got checked out mate, sounds like she could have a few catchable diseases.

if this is the truth, then the media have something to answer for. They have not carried out any due dilligeance when it comes to research and have cost a man and his family part of their income. They should quiet literally be held accountable.

He was making a lot of coin at channel 9, it's hurt his family life as well. I would think seriously about legal advice.
