## Resource

David Goodwillie faces a rare private prosecution in Scotland after a 2017 civil ruling found him and a teammate guilty of rape — despite no prior criminal charges. The victim, Denise Clair, is now pursuing legal action independently, while Goodwillie’s lawyer insists he doesn’t want to be prosecuted, even though Goodwillie previously said he’d fight to clear his name. A key November hearing will decide whether the case moves forward, with the court also ordering disclosure of evidence. If approved, this could lead to a full criminal trial — a dramatic legal twist in a case that’s already drawn national attention.
