Charges dropped after “a key witness withdrew their involvement”

Wonder what that m€an$?

Means His Victim chooses Money and Staying with him over the course of justice

Which is shocking of her, and a kick in the teeth for all victims of sexual beasts.

I hope no one in football goes anywhere near him, disgusting animal

Odd, innit. I didn’t think, for obvious reasons, that victims of domestic abuse offences could drop charges at their own behest.

Well that’s it, it’s for the CPS to decide.

They’ve said they’ve no realistic prospect of conviction, so just goes to show that you can get off even when bang to rights if you’ve got the right lawyers.

I don't think they can. Which will be interesting to hear what the 'new evidence is' that the CPS mention.

As for his career, unfortunately I'd be surprised if it was over, clubs will eventually take him on if Utd release him. He hasn't got a conviction which is the legal definition of guilty and they will hide behind that. Morally of course we all know what he is...

I think the problem he’s got is that some of what happened is the public domain (the clip in which he’s heard to be forcing himself on his girlfriend, followed by threats of physical violence).

I think back to when clubs (Sheffield United and Oldham if memory serves) tried to sign Ched Evans prior to his conviction being quashed. The clubs were prepared to do it, but threats from sponsors to pull out (as well as a handful of death threats) made it impossible for clubs to go ahead.

I suspect the same will happen to Greenwood, convicted or not. No way will the likes of Adidas be happy with him parading about on the pitch with their logo on.

If he plays professional football again, I predict it won’t be in this country.

The victim's dad was a complete wrong'un who immediately tried to play it all down and make out it was a misunderstanding because (presumably) he didn't want his daughter to split up with Greenwood. Absolutely depraved parenting and it doesn't really come as a shock that the girl has withdrawn as a witness with a father like that.

I really, really hope his (presumably) ex-girlfriend doesn't end up dead to the hands of what appeared to be an absolute psychopath in that leaked audio we all heard a year ago.

Lot of people on here seem to know all the "facts" and can make all sorts of stories up to suit their own moral standpoint. The only fact is we don't know what exactly has gone on and why the decision has been reached, but that doesn't stop anyone from drawing their own conclusions
