I did warn people not to look at it!
He is a man who has always used a lot of long words ( although often in the wrong context) with the idea that this makes him clever, but it really doesn't. The sign of intelligence is in my view being able to impart ideas with clarity.

Yes, it is shocking, I agree.

They are treated as if they are guilty until proved they are telling the truth. I thought these intrusive interrogations were not allowed any more.

The intensive interrogations are getting worse imo. It’s a wonder any woman is brave enough to complain then attend court to be belittled humiliated and accused of lying

Oh yes, I can just see him leading a cult! We know he's an attention seeking narcissist whose life revolved around sex which is what cults are always about. What he's like now we don't know, but I think we are entitled to give an opinion on the man based on what we've seen and heard with our own eyes and what he has said himself.

RB’s wife is Laura Gallacher, Kirsty Gallacher’s sister.

She never liked him and was very aware of his reputation and did try to warn her sister but it fell on deaf ears.

I believe generally a defendant's previous convictions for similar crimes to the one being tried, are not allowed to be referenced - in case it prejudices the jury's collective mind?

So I do wonder why the women's previous sexual 'history' is not treated similarly. If the jurisdiction will rest on the facts of the case(s) - then a woman's previous sexual encounters becomes irrelevant.

I can't help thinking that, as with most things in law, business, medicine - you name it - the whole of society has been set up historically to benefit men. Because in spite of reforms etc, we still very much live in a Patriarchy.

Very true.

Yes, it still happens but it should not. Women victims are metaphorically put into the dock.

I cant remember if I have already said this but his wife was 19 when they first met and dated. They split up but rekindled the relationship years later.

The worst people I've known were born again Christians dishonest materialistic no compassion Anyway he's been baptised and is feeling blessed wonder if he will still be a Christian if God doesn't get him out of these a accusations

If found guilty, he might desert the current God and find one he thinks is more powerful.

Wear religion like a cloak of protection.
Sums it up perfectly.

When I was very young I had foster parents, they belonged to an American Christian sect.
It was the first time I was beaten. It was very frightening. And worse happened.

Laura Gallagher has often said she wanted to save him. It takes all sorts.
