Milne Charged with Rape

[tigs2011]

Not once did those champions of justice and a fair go make mention of the poor girl who has had 9 years of torment, innuendo and stress. 

They did actually.

Your right they did but it was in passing, it was like she after thought

It was more about "poor Milne", champoin of the Saints, blah blah

Blah Blah Blah

Whatever did happen to our potential champion racehorse

St Kilda has just said Milne has been stood down so he won't be playing.

Presumably for Jacqueline Watts' protection.

The following is a statement from St Kilda president Greg Westaway:

The Board of the St Kilda Football Club met last night following advice that Victoria Police had charged Stephen Milne relating to alleged conduct dating back to 2004.

The Board acknowledges this is a most serious matter, one that is distressing to all the parties involved.

It also recognises that the extended timeframe of the matter and the complexities of the issues involved, make it without precedent.

In considering the matter the Board has been mindful of the rights and obligations of everyone impacted.

Based on this the Board has resolved that in the best interests of all parties concerned, and the duty of care the Club has to Stephen and his family, Stephen will remain a listed player but will take a leave of absence from playing for an indefinite period.

The St Kilda Football Club respects that this matter is now before the Courts. As a consequence we won't be making any further comment at this time.

If they did then I will apologise profusely but I'm bloody sure I didn't hear it.  Can you recall what they said TBR?

[The Big Richo]

Sketchy but Robbo said something like this is a football show so our focus is on Milne the footballer but we also need to remember there is a young lady who this will be very traumatic for etc etc...

[Smokey]

Fair enough, ta.  I will apologise for my comment then.

[WilliamPowell]

But that's all they said, very traumatic for her but then their focus turned to Milne and how shocked he was blah blah

As I said from where I was sitting they mentioned her in passing as an after thought. It was poor so no wonder people may have missed it

[The Big Richo]

I thought they were acknowledging that though and saying their focus is on football and therefore Milne, but they wanted to also acknowledge how difficult it is for her as well.

Fair enough TBR, all about perception I suppose and how people hear the same thing but can end up viewing it very differently

Anyone know how or why the charge is for four counts of rape?

[The Big Richo]

It said in the articles he allegedly 'tried a few times' to have sex with her.

Also the 4 counts could also include digital rape.
