BBC News: Footballers cleared of teen rape
So the girl's evidence was so so unreliable in court that the judge directed the jury to acquit. But here's my question: The girl was 15.
and
So let's get this straight: four men in their 20s admit to having sex with a 15-year old girl and one of them now appears to demand that we 'respect' his vindicated reputation?
What do you think? I would have thought that the admitted facts in this case would be sufficient to destroy any reputation they had for good ... or am I just being old fashioned?

Mr Forbes, of New Cross, south London, Mr Mighton, and Mr Campbell from Brockley, south London, admitted having consensual sex with the girl at the flat but denied raping her.
and
Mr Forbes said the last nine months were "hell to live through" and that he now wanted to focus on his career as a footballer.
He said: "My reputation has been attacked through the last few months. I wish for all to respect my vindicated character and reputation.
"The result today allows me to continue playing football, which is all I ever wanted to do."
