You don't get arrested and released on bail as a witness. I'm pretty sure they are all accused...

Yes, but we don't know what of. They may not all be accused of assault (as the argus claims). Any number of them might be accused of being an accessory to the main charge / witholding information / etc.

Arrested means being questioned under caution. Nobody is charged.
Let's remember the official Sussex Police press statement said:
"All have been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault "
People are straying well into the 'speculation of the details of the case' territory now.
Please stop.
It's human nature to wonder - please do that wondering elsewhere or we start closing all threads again and/or the site if required.
Life bans will be issued for anyone I consider to have ignored this warning.

I always thought in this country (unlike US) anyone arrested for a crime could not be named until they where actually charged, would have certainly saved that poor retired college lecturer chap in Bristol last year from a character assassination. The Argus should be ashamed of themselves for sensationalist journalism.

The names are in the public domain now thanks to the Argus. Pointless keeping the names off there now.
Just seen the Argus front page on the Palace BBS. How utterly ridiculous. How many other people who are arrested, suspected, convicted, assisting with enquiries or whatever, have their names printed that big on the front page? And this is the same local paper that covers our games each week. I know it's all about making money but that's going too far. I won't be buying it again so it's backfired as far as I'm concerned. They really are turning into the gutter press. They should be bloody ashamed. Yes it's news but report it the same as anything else. Clearly no loyalty or respect for the club there. Disgusting.

No, it's certainly the case that they can be identified and reported.
What happened to the college lecturer was from another planet, and of a different magnitude entirely from this. When it was reported he had been taken in for questioning, for reasons only a total arsehole could ever justify, The Sun and The Mirror went mental on him, and basically told lies. Of course, any newspaper can do that if they so please, though they put themselves fully in the spotlight of contempt of court, and in the end their fines were pathetic.
In this instance, by mentioning that Bristol case, is it that your concern is for the public reaction, rather than the newspapers' behaviour. Is that the case?
At the risk of being fixtured can anyone give a brief rundown as to what the allegations are? I am not on this website much at the moment due to work commitments. Fancy work getting in the way of NSC.....
No, nobody can.
An "allegation of a sexual assault" is all that is publically known.
Thanks Hans. All sounds a bit iffy to me....
