    The moment someone starts going all “anti-woke” you know they’ve got something to hide and they are trying to get acquainted with the pardon-dealing industry.

      Yeah. Forcing himself on women was entirely consistent with his public persona, but shifting hard right just to seek cover makes it so much scummier.

    So it goes something like this:

    • Man rapes
    • Man gets away with it for a while
    • Man gets charged for it
    • Man joins the far-right

    Well as always, if he’s guilty may he have fun rotting in jail and hopefully drops the soap, if he’s innocent I hope he bounces back from such life ruining accusations.

      He used to be in movies I guess, he turned rapist once he got outed by the news. Then he pivoted right wing, naturally as a way to shield himself from criticism

        Seems to be the power move of these clowns.

        Get caught doing something wrong, instead of owning up to it or apologizing… just going “I JOINED THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THE WOKE LEFT TRIED TO TELL ME THE HOLOCAUST ACTUALLY HAPPENED! THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR!” and sadly winning allies from that

    after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary

    "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.

    Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary? Why didn’t the police investigate before? If so there should be an investigation and prosecution of those involved in the “non-investigation”.

    This failure to investigate is an outrage, many people including me listened to Russel Brand in the 2010s, but the police failed to investigate and now has the gall to say “the defendant has a right to a fair trial”? Does the public not also have a right to a fail investigation and prosecution?

      I might be speaking out of my ass here, but it could be that the allegations were brought to the police first, but there wasn’t enough evidence at the time for the police to file charges, and then the documentary investigation turned up more evidence than the police had.

        Quite possible it’s just a fuck-up. But really the police should be able to do what a TV documentary crew can do. I mean what is the police there for? (Socialist answer is obviously to protect the rich and powerful)

        How many cases were not pursued because it wasn’t profitable and opportune to make a popular documentary for them? Inequality based on identity like gender is the core belief of fascism, so this is a serious problem to leave unfixed.

    honest question here. unless there is video and audio proof. how the fuck could someone be charged for this 20+ years later over “he said she said”? like how the hell does that work. Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?
