      I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the other way around.

      He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.

    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.

    After watching Kathy Perry’s documentary and what he did to her, I fucking hate this asshole.

      Islam, everyone’s favorite popular cult, is very rapey.

      Catholics have been very rapey since a long time ago, Buddhists and Muslims as well

      I’d wager whichever new faith this guy adheres to has no sway in their behavior as there are bad actors in basically everything

      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

      Wealthy immigrant accused of rape and spewing lies at every turn? Deport him? They going to offer him a job leading what ever department he wants to demolish. Probably justice.

    This explains his sudden turn to Christianity last year. He’s going to try the “God forgave me” defense.

      Actually it was his turn to the right wing grifting. Christianity was just icing on the cake to make evangelicals acceptable to him

      it was pretty obvious when he started to trying to hide behind the pro-rape party of conservatives.

    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?

      Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary?

      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.
