Ched Evans Petition

The girl he allegedly raped is 19 so I doubt that he would be banned from working with Children. I have always felt a little uncomfortable with this Judgement. His mate gets away with it but Evans gets imprisoned. The term "No Angel" also springs to mind.

 

He didn't allegedly rape her. He has been convicted of raping her. He is a rapist. I have an advanced CRB check myself even a standard one would disbar him from working with kids.

Someone convicted of rape would not be allowed to work with children, and will be on the sex offenders register for a long time . I don't know about his mate but the apparent state she was in, could hardly walk , he is scum as well as Evans

 

I think the problem a lot of people are having, myself included, is that professional footballers directly influence children. As a sex offender, Ched Evans would not be allowed to work with children. In fact, there are any number of professions he would not be allowed to do: policeman, doctor, nurse, social worker, teacher, anything that would see him in contact with vulnerable people. I believe many people want professional footballer added to that list. Many people on here will have children of their own who they take to games. They wouldn't take their children to a doctor who is a registered sex offender, they wouldn't want a nurse on the sex offenders register in hospital looking after their children and they wouldn't take their children to a school to be taught by a sex offender. They also wouldn't take their child to a football game where players are looked up to, idolised and held up as heroes if one of them is a sex offender.

Ched Evans has served his time, we now let him back in to society. He could train as an accountant or work in the city or become an engineer or work in science. Or he could train as a tradesman. Or get a job stacking shelves or work in a warehouse or be a postman or a binman or a retail assistant, whatever. It's up to him, whether he wants to retrain, get more education or simply get a job with the qualifications and training he already holds. Hopefully, he'll never commit another crime and he can become a valuable member of our society, should he wish. Our society allows for that. It allows for rehabilitation. It allows for second chances. However, because of the nature of his crimes some jobs are not open to him, they wouldn't be appropriate and many people believe that professional footballer should be one of those jobs. That's not denying him his human rights, it's not denying him what could be a very good life should he put his past behind him, it's just preventing him from becoming idolised, a position that should never be afforded to a person who has raped another.
