Things in Australia is different than in Sri Lanka, irrespective of status the law is same to everyone. These are strong charges I don't know whether he will be acquitted. However, if he proves that the intercouse was consensual then he might escape or considered with leniency What a disgrace to Sri Lanka

Recently I traveled in a Sri Lankans airlines and the air hostess were giving extra meals and booze to their known contacts throughout the flight. I over heard their conversation in passing.

If winning is not important, then of course get rid of the whole team, as all who have been around 5 years have done some indiscretion.

Sri Lankan’s please be aware: In Australia a woman’s word will always take precedence over a man’s version. What a woman says to you when she is drunk, will not be the same thing she tells the police when she is sober. Always ask yourself: Is my freedom worth a few minutes of pleasure? A court will not consider a woman in a fit state to give consent if she is drunk or substance affected.. These cases are becoming a dime a dozen. BEWARE !!!

I blame not these youngsters but the people who enforce the law. In Sri Lanka anyone who molests a female goes scot free and this gives them the license to do anything because these Sri Lankans are under the belief that they can do anything and go scot free. Although these western countries have a promiscuous society everything should be done with decency without giving indication that we are barbarians and starved for sex. These are eye openers for our authorities too without treating cases of these with leniency. We see certain of our politicians are the worst violators as they have the power and money. So they will meet their downfall if they try their monkey tricks with deterrent punishment in a country that enforces the law impartially

Cricket administrators are also at fault for this disgrace. in the past we were known as a team that maintained high standard of discipline. but the current administrators have been tolerating the ill-discipline of these barbarians for years . even teams like England, Australia and New zealand have been taking severe action on there players for comparatively minor incidents like involving in club brawls. this same guy got caught inside a room where a foreign girl was raped during a tournament in Colombo, then he got beaten up for harrasing a girl in matara, then the 3 idiots fiasco in UK.he was banned for latter due to fan pressure. for an international player who represents his country,talent is useless without discipline.

Fault is with public who want cricketer to win. Unfortunately with our culture, this is the nature of players who come through. SJB MP Lakshman Kiriella is the one who pushed for him and the other two to freed of the ban. SLPP MP were against it, but SJB was for letting wrongdoers free. Kusam Medis kill man in hit and run and he's still playing cricket too.

How do we know that she's not creating a story to get compensation or attention.? We don't really know, do we? So why don't we wait and see what happens?

Yes, that is why people who are on the spotlight should refrain from such activities. Even if he had worn the condom, the woman could accuse him of rape saying that she did not agree for sex but only talk. So if you ever do this in those places at least keep a hidden camera to record your actions.

I blame the SL Cricket Board and the law enforcing authorities. He was charged on a similar matter in Sri Lanka involving a young girl, but the law enforcing authorities were soft on him - probably received money. The Cricket Board also gave him a short suspension and then back in the national team. He had a few disciplinary issues in records. Then why did the cricket management retained him in the tour group, when he was injured and replacements called. Based on the reports there will be no escape for him under the Australian law - that can not be bought like in Sri Lanka. I hope he will get the maximum punishment - the Australia will fix this social cancer who can not be treated within the Sri Lankan system. What a shame he brought to the country, not for the first time.

He has had past disciplinary problems; so why he was chosen on the first instance., Importantly, did Sri Lanka Cricket Board facilitate counselling him to become better person? I doubt. Present Sri Lankan generation has serious attitude problems and government is obliged to address. Why so, because taxes are collected from citizens which shall in turn be used for the betterment of citizens. Better citizens will bring loveable Sri Lanka.

Sue Kirthisinghe - Subscribing to a Dating App in developed countries doesn't mean a declaration of willingness to be sexually abused or sleeping with anyone who responds. The woman may have chatted with him for a year but that's not reason enough to prove it wasn't forced sex. NO means only NO. Simple fact - when they see a white woman they cannot resist forcing their way, irrespective of their dignity, marital status and consequences. Reputation through cricket is merely a tool to have their way.

Guys, now you all know the story from Australian side , let’s assume this episode happens in Sri Lanka. On his first day in court, he is granted bail ,released back to society and tarnishing the image of the victim in all media private and government is rapidly started and of course, all the faults and sins are rolled over and shifted to the victim. Guys, this is how our Sri Lankan side of the story made over and told. And sorry, I have forgotten to say that some members of the clergy also come in supporting the alleged rapist cricketer and throw all the stones wrapped with culture and tribalism to the victim and her family. TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES WITH TWO SYSTEMS !!

No idea if DG is married/divorced and or single. It appears they first met in person on a wed for coffee, then a couple of meetings in person before Sunday meeting where they had drinks and went back to the woman's home where the incident of him sexually assaulting the woman took place. If he thought the invitation to go back to her house was for the intention of having sex, well he was caught and bowled out!! and will surely face the full force of the law and he so deserves. I read above this is not the first incident he has been involved in, time for the family to convince him to go overseas for rehab in a private facility.

Sue Gonsinghe, chatting does not give you the right to have sex. Inviting someone to a house does not give you the right to have sex. What world do you live in? Australian police does not go around arresting people willy nilly just on an allegation. For him to be arrested in the team hotel late at night, they must have good evidence. Especially such a high profile dude. He was denied bail by a judge, you think they deny bail just on an allegation? This dude was accused of the same by a Norwegian girl while in SL and he then put it on his friend and escaped. Later the friend also escaped the law. This is a clear patter. So lets get our heads out of our rear ends and start thinking.

Many girls do this to trap rich boys and players ..this is one of the most popular way to earn easy money in. Western countries.. They know well in many western countries girls can easily cheat the law and fool the judges ... I think that this girl who brought this case must be punished if it is done with any consents....he can prove that she is the one who initiated it and she is one who invited him and this case can go against her

News item to my knowledge is incorrect!! The offence occurred in the Eastern Suburb (wealthy) of Sydney, hence the court hearing should be in the same Judicial district - Eastern Suburbs and Woolahara Court!! Parramatta Court is in the western segment of Sydney and this court case will not be heard at parramatta but Woolahara!!?

In the West, a woman can refuse to have sex even if she says Yes in the first place. If a woman is drunk and she says yes and decides to call it rape. It’s rape in the court of law! Basically if you are under the influence of some form of substance she cannot consent. Also, even if she’s in her senses and decides to say No at any point during the sexual encounter, the man has to stop. Otherwise it’s rape. The example commonly used in the West, is drinking a cup of coffee. The woman can decide not to drink the coffee even if she has consumed half a cup and decides doesn’t want the rest. When she says stop or No, the man has to stop. Otherwise it amounts to rape. The men from Asian countries have to be educated to know what consensual sex is!

When members of a backward, medieval society traverse foreign lands, this type of occurrence is to be wholly expected. Permanent travel warnings regarding Sri Lankan behaviour will soon be placed on western government websites. As they should be. Monks are directly responsible for this public sickness. The tourist industry was on life support, it is now dead in the water. The entire cricket team, and their families, should thanked for that.

What does she wants from him ? Was it a one of link and connection? Why did he go to her place ? Did she invite him ? Did she ask him to have sex? Did she consent ? Is it done by force ? Was it a rape ? Did she consent at all at any time Was he drunken? Was she drunken? The judge will not give hasty judgment at all. Judges know well that there are some crafty girls who want to make money out of false stories? What evidence? Does she has got ? Judges can't give hasty judgment on this case

This is nothing compared to what was done by Sri Lankan army in Kaiti. They were sent back by IN mission for raping innocent girls and women whom they went to protect. What a disgrace!!! Sri Lankan army went on rampage of raping Tamil girls and women. They even killed them after raping. The worst and the most insane was the act of Sri Lankan army that raped DEAD Bodies of LTTE women cadres!!!. When one compares all these, what DG has done is nothing even though it is against Australian law. This remind me of a friend of mine who once said that he will never immigrate to any other country because SL is the best country in earth. When I asked why, he said it is the only country in the world where you can rape a woman in daylight and still escape without any punishment as long as you are a Sinhalese, Buddhist and you have some money!!!

This is the culture of the entire team. Everytime they go on tour the main intension of a majority of players is to look for women not to focus on cricket. It was the same during the Asia Cup, but because we won these issues we not highlighted. This kind of behaviour is a result of poor leadership, where the captain of the team let's his players do whatever they want so that the players would back him to be the captain. The team needs a non nonsense leader like Arjuna.
