But in this case there aren't, are there? there are pictures that appear to be of injuries, but these were not taken by the police or an independent medical facility, due process exists for a reason, if we ignore due process then you have bigger problems that a footballer and his ex to worry about.
So you have said you would be okay with having your life turned upside down if somebody made allegations against you, basically if you were guilty... what if you were innocent??
My best friend growing up, his parents used to foster kids, when one of them became ill they had to stop, one of the girls they were fostering had to leave, she then made allegations against the whole family, these were found to be untrue and later she admitted she made the whole thing up out of spite and being rejected (I have some sympathy for her feelings but not her actions), my friends dad, and a friend of their family almost lost their jobs, my friend who spent several days being interrogated by police had to have counselling and go on anti-depression medication. The girl who made the allegations got a caution!
Off the top of my head, Matthew Kelly had allegations made against him, publicly interviewed by the police and subsequently there was no evidence, yet his career was ruined, look at the impact on Jimmy Tarbuck, or the way the police raided Cliff Richard's home with the press watching, there are many more examples I am sure but my point is, that this is not victimless either which way, you cannot put the cat back in the box, there has to be a better system which supports victims and doesn't see the accused being punished until they are actually found guilty.
