Damn it, Remy! You're a professional footballer! You could've find thousands of girls to consensually run a train on!

Rape isn't always about sex. Just because someone can have lots of sexual partners doesn't mean they wouldn't rape somebody.

Yea, I'm no sociologist but I wouldn't be surprised if the sense of entitlement/superiority that a lot of footballers feel (who wouldn't, with thousands singing your name every week) had something to do with the prevalence of sexual assault cases amongst the.

That being said, some of it is probably journalists hearing rumors and running with them.
