I'll re-iterate what I said about a month ago, its about time the FA decided its "rules" on ex-offenders, these things should not be decided by Mass Mob Hystreria or Social Media. That's why we have LAWS.
Ched Evans Rape conviction - should he be allowed to return to Football?
Its down to the FA i say.
Reasons, we have laws in this country for a reason. There are rules around dealing with rehabilitaion of ex-offenders, for example it depends on
- type of offence
- length of sentence.
I believe that if your sentence is less than 2.5 years then after 10 years it can be considered "spent" - ie that means that you don't have to tell anyone about it - you get a fresh start.
So, Ched was sentenced to 5 years so it can never be "spent".
Next if its a sexual offence, as his was, you have to on the Sex offenders register for life. So with for example Teachers they can never teach again or work with children if it was a "sex" offence. MPs can't be Mp's if their offence was more than 1 year sentence and so it goes on.
I say, in my opinion it is up to the FA to decide how they deal with ex-offenders. They need to set down their rules.
Nothing stopping Ched being a Lorry Driver.
