Logical progression for a serial offender. Glad they put him away before he did some serious damage.

There does seem to be a pattern. In criminal prosecution, all those previous charges and convictions add up to the absence of mistake, so any claim of consensual sex will not work. He'd used up all of his freebies and sympathetic juries.

Holy shit, what a colossal asshole. I remember liking him as a player. A serial sexual offender needs to go.

Feel sorry for the women. Enjoy the rest of your life, Meggett!

Was that Megget or Maggot? Really sad. (I liked him as a player.)

And ditto irunfromclones. As a father of girls, I am glad to see creeps like this off the street.

More than one person has referred to Danny Woodhead as a "white Dave Meggett", which makes me really nervous.
