Time, place and values.
Ched Evans is a rapist. Twenty years ago, he wouldn't have been in court, never mind jail. I state the case of Peter Beagrie. Never made it to court and is now a respected football pundit, with only Huddersfield Town fans who hated the f*cker bothering to remember to call him a nonce.
Attitudes of society change. It's only recently that the likes of Jimmy Savile have become vilified. The CPS would've laughed at the police if they tried to bring DLT to court on such charges 20 years ago.
What I'm trying to say is that in today's society, there is no place in football for the likes of Ched Evans, but the likes of Lee Hughes may come back, but will get some horrendous abuse.
