Welcome to the legal system

Yes, this is also the case for the DeGoey allegations. Charges were dropped because the complainant/accuser withdrew them (DeGoey, I'm talking about here). He was never declared "innocent."
I'm glad to see Tanner has come through this. If what you say is true, that the complainant's friends testified she said it was consensual, but she was going to use it to get some money, then that does horrify me.
Tanner won't come through this untarnished, I'm afraid. The whole situation is dodgy AF. But at least he can get on with his life now and hopefully aim for a big 2026 playing footy.

It's actually 'guilty even if proven innocent' in the eyes of social media.

These witnesses are not known to the accused, but to the accuser...
From various news reports (public domain), my emphasis:
****
She gave evidence she was later told by Mr __ that Mr ___ had told him the alleged victim had lied to police.
Ms ____ said she was told the alleged victim had been propositioned by the two men for sex, agreed and consented, but had demanded more money after the act.
Mr __ said he had not “directly” been told by Mr _ the alleged victim lied to police but he had “started feeling a bit funny or off about the whole situation” following conversations with Mr ___.
****
The friend on Thursday gave evidence that the alleged victim had agreed to provide sexual services to the men in exchange for money.
The court was told after the incident, the woman requested more money but the men declined so she reported the incident as a rape.
"I certainly came to the conclusion that she lied to the police," the witness said.
Det Ronaldson on Friday told the court there had been conflicting information between the woman's initial disclosure and her official police statement.
I believe you just have. What a strange attention-seeking gesture.

The accuser = the complainant (aka the one making the complaint).
Have you seen the number of calls on Geelong AFL social media spaces for her to be counter-sued for lies, defamation etc?
I thought I would just keep the language clear.

Hopefully we all move on and effectively we pick up a much needed addition to our midfield grunt.
And Ollie Henry will be a lot happier too.

Hopefully Tanner can move on with his life now, unfortunately this stigma will stick with him. The lesson is players need to be more aware of what they do outside of the club. Looking around for girls in car parks at 4:00 am is not smart for someone with a public profile .
It's more than a lesson, it's a life ruining episode for all parties. Because she was allegedly paid, (evidence, provided to attest to that) doesn't mean she forgoes her right to call out sexual behaviour that wasn't agreed upon. Payment does grey the whole area on what was consensual, and only they know the answer. It's just unfortunate the Court system is so long and laborious.
Bruhn had told friends months ago he was innocent of rape, and was confident it would be dropped when the facts came to light, but devastated nontheless.
Loose lips sink ships, think about that before you go kicking people who have inside knowledge but haven't spilled their guts all over BF.

That you, Danger?
Just back from the main board. Need a wash.
The dark side of human nature, prejudice and the investment in an alternative reality, disappoints me.
A lot.

Credit to Mr Meow, it's genuinely so sad that people would rather the horrific scenario of a woman being r*ped so they have an opportunity to pointscore on a football club they hate, than have the situation we've got where Tanner is an innocent man.
I get tribalism. I really do. It's why this forum exists, but f*ck me, there's a line you just cannot cross if you want to be seen as a decent human being.
Some people just cannot take their scarves off, and it's Richmond fans more than anybody. It's abhorrent.
