It’s been said many times here and in the deleted thread, there are reasons why anyone in that scenario wouldn’t make a statement. Once he makes a statement, the media could report on it. Plus given solicitors are involved, he clearly did go the legal route.
As I said in my other post today, no we don't know anything, but for how much they're doing legal gymnastics to get around things on a technicality I think it would have been stated in the letter that she was over 18 if she was in fact over 18, but they didn't do that. They used the phrase "over the age of consent" which leaves a lot to read between the lines. It's up to you what you take from that. It's also been over 24 hours now of intense discussion on twitter of her only being 17, I think his lawyers would be after coming out to clarify that by now if that wasn't the case. But that's just my opinion, not an allegation.
Anyone in the public eye opens themselves up to public shaming unfortunately and I think the reason Eoghan McDermott has been discussed and "shamed" so heavily is because he portrayed himself as holier than thou and was very quick to point the finger at other people using his substantial platform. The radio silence for a year and then coming on with that letter was a very poor move in my opinion. He's suing Twitter and the reason he's not suing her is because he reached a settlement. I presume reaching a settlement with her was damage control as if he sued her, factual details of their relationship would be brought to light and, whilst not illegal, would most certainly be perceived as extremely creepy and do further damage to his reputation. I think the saddest thing about all of this is it's a further deterrent to women suffering at the hands of men to speak out.
Look all I am saying is that people saying something on Twitter doesn’t make it true. I wouldn’t expect an immediate response from his lawyers either if she was over 17.
Its not idle speculation though, if you go back and read the original Reddit post that’s still screenshotted at the start of this thread she says she was 16 when he first started messaging her and that she was still in school doing her Leaving Cert. If that wasn’t true she would have had to retract it in the letter, but she didn’t. I get wanting to take a balanced view on things but the information is there.
Sorry wrong thread!
Yeah, they crucified that Jesus fella in private to spare his blushes. This literally makes all your arguments look like shite.

Didn't the letter say they never "met or had any contact" before she was 17? Splitting hairs in one sense cause it's still wrong but important for him I guess. Different to waiting until she was turned 17. Anyway he's done. If she didn't want to go through the Gardai then she's still gotten the best result for her. He's absolutely ruined, reputation and life is dust, girlfriend and future gone, she didn't have to go to court and didn't get sued for the stuff she had to take back... And nobody knows who she is apart from friends and family. Win for her! Hopefully she can put it behind her and feel vindicated.
lmao my bad ... read that in 'so you've been publicly shamed' years ago and felt like an apt occasion to reference to it
His plan? Probably the dole like any other unemployed person.
She has a new fella
Good for her
