McDermott is to sue Twitter.

I think it’s “no tall men”, dazzler might be vertically challenged.

But even if the truth had came out initially would he have been ruined. Although the law is binary at 17 for consent, most people think it is morally wrong for a 27 yo to sleep with a 17 yo.

Then you factor in his career as somebody being woke. Do get away with in his profession. If it had been a sports star who had slept with a 17 yo when 27 they would get away with it because they're relying on their sporting ability not their persona to make a living. But in this case it is more like. Sorry Eoghan I don't want to hear your woke opinion because you hang around school gates.

What truth?

All I see so far is verified lies.

The anonymous allegations have to be treated as complete fiction. It's too unsafe for any rational human being to make any sort of judgement using that as a source.

If he wants to go back to "broadcasting" he'll need to give a full frank account of his interactions with a school child. He has verified he had a relationship with the person. A Fundamentally different account to hers obviously.

So?

Again if you have a link to something that verifies her age by all means post it up.

The only fact we know is she lied about what age she was.

People again are making assumptions.

If she was 16 or 17, then she wasn't an adult. 17 is the age where someone can consent to sex but they aren't an adult.

But yep, adults can groom other adults, apparently.

Unfortunately, due to the way our laws are, a poor person can make statements like that and there's very little you can do to them in a civil court. If they don't have any money, what good is an award of money as compensation? You won't see a penny of it. And most likely you will have to pay your own (substantial) legal costs.

It's all well and good going after her in the High Court if you can afford to lose maybe €100k but if you don't have that money or can't afford it, then there's not much point really.

And yeah, it sucks if someone makes a false allegation about you but going to court can be an unaffordable way to clear your name.

It’s noteworthy that the solicitors letter says that she was over the age of consent when their relationship was physical, and not that she was a consenting adult when their relationship was physical. I wonder why that is.

The letter is from her solicitor.

It seems to have been only released on the condition of full anonymity.

He hasn't "broadcast" anything apart from that 1 tweet.

Im not going to link her story. Not fair on her or Eoghan.

As ive said if he wants to drive home his woke metoo agenda again on national media he has questions to answer. If he wants to become a teacher he sure as **** has questions to answer.

3 alleagtions were withdrawn and clafrified as being inaccurate. He does have family members in the guards too. He gave an interview stating that.

She withdrew and verified that she was in fact at the age of consent.

She withdrew third party allegations about Eoghan.

Thats all.

A lot of other alleagations and info werent withdrawn and Eoghan didnt challenge them.

If it were me and this girl was in fact a lot older than she said and wasnt on school id be insisting that appear in the solicitors letter and retracted. But its not and Eogham didnt challenge. Thats a fact.

Was he a teacher at the time or registered with the Teachers Council?

I don’t know this guy, my interest in this discussion is more about numpties making unfounded or inaccurate accusations online which have an affect on a persons like, so Too, are you stating that in this case a teacher had a 17 yr old girlfriend, or, are you joining the list of people posting unfounded allegations?
