isnt he the guy who said child molestation/rape victim's deserved it as they were being punished for bad things they did in their past lives?
Yup, disabled too. He said if they truly lived a life of love it wouldn't happen to them.

Those are actually really good points. I think most people would struggle to find a man who at some point on a night out hasn't been groped by some drunk wench. Sexual assault. Yet it seems it's socially acceptable.
Watching QT, staggered by how much the panel accept a jury's verdict as absolute proof.
Don't get me wrong, it's the best system we'll ever have but it is no means infallible yet they are all talking about how much of a victim Roach is as if this verdict is indisputable proof nothing happened.
You'd be hard pressed to find any jury that would convict without a single shred of evidence, as apparently was the case here.
Do you think there's a good chance he did it, then?

The returnable verdicts are 'Guilty' or 'Not guilty' (rather than innocent) for a reason - jurys don't decide whether a person is innocent because the law presumes that they are innocent. Instead, the question is whether they are sure or not that the person committed the offence. If they aren't sure, they must acquit the defendant.
A verdict of 'not guilty' does not mean that the complainants are liars, whores, money-grabbers or whatever; it means that the jury were not sure of the defendant's guilt.
I generally subscribe to the Kat Williams method, i.e. If enough people say the same **** about you for long enough then it's likely to be true (He uses the denial that Whitney Houston was a coke addict as an example).
With Michael 'Kevin Webster' Levelle it was one girl's word against his. In Roache's case there were seven independent woman making allegations (for clarity I mean 'independent' in that they were unrelated not the Beyonce definition of someone who 'don't need a man').
Ah, so he's guilty then.
As mentioned above, the jury didn't find him innocent, they found him 'not guilty' which basically means the evidence isn't concrete enough to convict; not that they are 100% confident he wasn't a jail-bait, cheap-thrills, opportunist.
