Jury finds him guilty of one count of indecent assault on a youth player and not guilty on another. Still deliberating another 48 at Winch crown court. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/163...first-verdicts-in-youth-football-abuse-trial/
Either way by the end of it all he’s gonna be royally ****ed! Hope he doesn’t get put in seg straight away, and is properly served up to the proper lads, they’ll tear him to shreads on the daily, unfortunately even that is probably to good for vile insects like him. Enjoy
Conflicting reports it seems. Echo says still deliberating the other 48 while beeb says they couldn't reach a verdict and have been dismissed. Hope the former is correct.
What this guy has done should not be underestimated, he's probably ruined 100's of lives, not to mention the collateral damage to families and friends? Pity he didn't do the descent thing and dangle himself from a nearby tree.
I see that as a nice way to go tbh, he really needs to be shown th error of his ways, and dangling him from a tree wouldn’t be justice for me.
Your right of course, bit of over reaction on my part, I have a relation that was abused by a someone in a position of trust many years ago and it totally ruined his life in so many ways.
I knew One of the lads who was interviewed by South Today last year or whenever it came out. He had been one to have a bright future forecast and I remember playing against him at about 17/18... he completely fell away and hardly did anything on the non-league scene to the best of my knowledge. I was shocked when I saw him interviewed. I wonder if Higgins is thinking about what happens after his sentence!
Does anyone know if there's been suggestions of accusations of complaints not being followed up on or outright ignored? I wonder if the club will offer compensation.
Just seen another player on the news I knew, who has come out and said he was abused too. Scary and shocking.
