    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

      he does look like a crazy homeless person, because his eyes is always bugged out on the youtube thumbnails.

        I had vaguely remembered him and saw him on YouTube a while back. I thought, hey, I think I liked this guy. Clicked into his video and was pretty shocked and immediately wrote him off.

          Yeah. I think he either went insane, or just smelled an easy con. Sad thing, really.

      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.

        Oh for sure. He’s been soft-pedaling his right-wing transformation ever since the initial allegations went public years ago. The hard turn recently is probably exactly as you say, he knew charges were coming.

          the suddenly “baptism” was obvious, because he mustve knew charges were going to be brought against him eventually

            It doesn’t take much calculating at all. It’s just easy to convince right-wing audiences that sexual misconduct allegations are all a conspiracy by the Deep StateTM to silence them. It’s a pretty basic grift.

    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.

        🤣🤣🤣 I don’t remember hearing anyone say “murder is horrible” in response to Ted Bundy’s execution, what goes around comes around innit.

        Fr tho, people forget jokes exist sometimes, I obviously don’t wish rape on anyone, besides the whole dropping the soap thing’s a myth anyways.

    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.

        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.
