Throughout my long life, I always felt that irrispective to what they say, but wear, women by nature and instinct, want to belong, and to be admired by many. When I grew up and became an Electrical Engineer, I realised that there was nothing strange in the fact that a modern WOMAN/LADY/GIRL, is and wants to behave like a LIVE WIRE! These days many women carry practically no INSULATION and when you look around some places in Malta, they offer practically NO RESISTANCE! they like CONTOUR INTERGRATION and these days one has to be very careful for it is not easy TO DIFFERENTIATE amongst some VARIED FUNCTIONS, while some POINTS OF INFLECTIONS could be NATURAL AND UNNATURAL FUNCTIONS with no DEFINITE VALUES.
When I was at University I wrote an article based on Engineering functions applied to a domestic issue as this one. I lived in England and Malta when buses had Ticket Conductors, and I stated that " modern women have little INSULATION, and NO RESISTANCE you can find them useful as BARE CONDUCTORS." Even my Mathematics and Engineering Professors congratulated me for my compositions. In fact they published it in the University News column and the NORTHUMBERLAND papers.

i agree that the man's name is mentioned at this stage so that his name would be cleared (prob his name was mentioned when he was brought to court) in fact media should give us also the results of each and every case where names where mentioned when someone was arraigned in court. police should investigate but it's not up to them to decide if someone is innocent or not, if they have good reason to think that someone is guilty that s/he should be brought to court and the court decides

The kids should be taken away from her!!! How could she use them in such a manner!!! What a sad story

"The mother's name is not being published to protect the children" ... If they really want to protect the children they should throw her in jail.

ONLY IN MALTA... We name and shame an accused person who later turned out to be completely innocent BUT we don't name and shame Petrol Station owners who are tampering with diesel and damaging our cars. Shame on the authorities concerned. You are making a real farce of our LAW COURTS. We all hope this 'mother' gets what she she deserves from the law courts. In my opinion SHE has defiled her underage children by instructing them in what details to say!!!!

Did this case have to come to court? Couldn't the police have realised that there was no case when they examined the evidence?

Excellent. Justice is served. Not!

So despite the fact he's proven innocent, the gentleman's name is published.
The woman's name is not - to protect the (poisoned, if I may add) children.
What's there to protect? Her children weren't molested after all.
And what if the man has/would have children of his own?
Shouldn't the Law Courts offer them the same level of 'protection'?

2) Not any more. Young women on the loose are now known as 'ladettes'. Is it any wonder that marriage is spiralling down for many? As one young man said elsewhere, marriage frightens him. Understandably. He has it on a plate. With the women strutting their colourful stuff - all dressed up to the nines or should I say, dressed down to the near-zeros. They claim to do it for themselves. Oh yeah! pull the other one - feeling all lpowerful and liberated and without the slightest idea of who they really are. If they do do it for themselves it only goes to prove my point. Their identity hinges on the latest fashion fad.
@J.Farrugia. Each case has to be assessed on its own merits.
@Martin Saliba. Do I need to spell it out. Abuse of children is not only sexual abuse. (Shades of last week's case when the judge said - of two children sexually abused by an uncle next door - that they were not physically harmed (no doubt token congratulations to the parents who decided not to press charges). Maybe a slip of the tongue on the judge's part? Tut! tut!

1) Mr. Vassallo should not have been named; maybe, being a man it was assumed he was guilty. Not good enough.
In these setups the guilty party IS usually a male. But then came feminism - where art thou? - and women were told that they were equal to men. Unfortunately, given that human nature is what it is, many women misunderstood the message and thought equality meant beating men at their own game (alcohol, smoking, treating men like sexual objects, the whole works). Maybe Feminism's later message that women WERE equal (to men) but different came to late. Maybe it wouldn't have made any difference. Meanwhile, many guys enjoy women's new-found 'misinterpreted' freedoms. Of course women could understand that 'different' to mean means that they have more to lose by behaving like men (unwanted pregnancies, STDs, etc. - see today's report re: school-girls caught out). Time was when young men were merely behaving like lads, no big deal. The young woman was labelled a slut (two weights and two measures). Not any more.

"[...] she feared that the true reason for his departure would be disclosed to her husband, thus harming her marriage."

Well, that didn't work out very well, then. She might lose more than just her marriage.

The story should not stop here. The woman should be charged with false report - there must be a legal terminology for it - and Martin Vassallo should sue her.

Martin's name was published BEFORE he was tried and now he's found innocent. The woman's name even though she was found to be lying, has not been published.

This woman is a disgrace to humanity and the court is protecting her.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. You want proof?
I am so not interested in this joker woman. But I'm curious to know what she looks like and why she thinks she is god's gift to men. I mean, is she a natural beauty or one of those who had behind a mask half an inch thick. You know the type.
She should be charged but as I always say, pathetic people like this are their own punishment. Would any half decent person want to be a single hair on this woman? I thought not.
Withholding her name protects her children and keeps the husband in the dark? The husband will come to know even if he doesn't read the ToM. Maybe he cares only for his prize carrots. Maybe he and his marriage is destroyed. As to the protection of the children, they need it like we need air as long as they're with their sad excuse of a mother.
I'm not against divorce but, as far as marriage is concerned, this woman should be banned from such unless she has some serious therapy to learn the meaning of some self-respect. She's a 'victim' of sick-thinking.

untill he was proven guilty his name should have remained annonamous and he should have been refererred to as mr X. as all people untill proven guilty . she should now be charged with wasting valuable police time and he in turn should take her to court and sue her for defamation of character also the court should be awarding this innocent man with criminal compensation for the truama he has had to endure and all cost should be billed to his accuser, the children involved should now be monitored as they have now suffered mental cruelty by their so called trollop of a mother and the father should go for full custody of the children to spare them anymore unwanted attention pushed onto them by the mother. thats what true EU members solve unsavoury bussiness like this. good luck in the future mr innocent i wish you well

bil-mod u tigrux bil-kundanni taghkom ghax din forsi ghamlet hazin u qed tiehu l-kundanna taghha f'hajjitha. Imma hawn irgiel marmalja u ma jistghux jaraw dublett jew qalziet li ma jibdewx johorgu l-litaniji tal-aggettivi u kliem vulgari li jhammar wicc dak li jkun. Malli jaraw mara hallihom ha jittantawha u tista mhux tkun mizzewga ghax kollox jghodd ghalihom akkost li jkissru familji. Mela bil-mod nerga ntenni ghall-akkuzi tal-oqbra mbajjda. Ir-reputazzjoni ta' dan ir-ragel zgur ser tmur ghall-ahjar ghax wera li kapaci, f'dinja materjalista u li tigi taqa' u tqum mill-valuri morali, dan ir-ragel ghad ghandhu valuri sodi u ma waqax ghat-tentazzjoni; u l-ex tfajla tieghu ghandha ghax tkun kburija b'ragel serju bhal mhu dan Martin Vassallo. Kellhom bzonn dawn li qed jiktbu hawn taht flimkien mal-hafna progressivi li ghandna ma saqajna huma serji u b'valuri sodi daqsu.

Do people, including the Times editorial policy, agree that names of the accused should never be published? The presumption of innocence in our constitution is not a joke or an afterthought. It seeks to protect people such as this unfortunate man.

"Protecting the identity of her children" is NO excuse for her name not to be mentioned.

This guy must have gone through months of mental torture and had his reputation damaged because of her false accusations and yet she gets away with it, her reputation intact.

NAME & SHAME HER!!

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." How very true.

In this case the outcome of this frameup was positve, well, positve, relative to what could have happened. But how many similar cases end up with some poor bas$#@rd being wrongfully convicted and his life ruined for ever?

David Buttigieg

And yet this poor sod had his name plastered all over the papers.

Some mud always tends to stick and in the future this gentleman will always be known as the one charged with molesting children and even possibly have it used against him.

The fact that he was innocent will quickly be forgotten, but that he was charged with molesting children will be remembered and gossiped about forever.

The man was not found guilty but is the woman being charged for the harm and pain she has caused to all those involved, especially to the accused himself and to his girlfriend. What about the psychological damage she did to her own children...forcing them to testify something that was never accomplished. What a disgrace of a woman!!
