Iāve always thought Russell Brand was a d1ck. And he appeared to be a sleaze of the first order.
But the UK criminal justice system is broken. And thatās bad for all of us whose legal systems derive from it.
This judgeās demeanour and framing in this video are not legally sound or professional.
The fact a hit-piece ādocumentaryā was created and aired with āreenactmentsā (re-imaginings) of what the alleged victims claimed happened, should have seen this whole case thrown out of court.
The fact the 21yo alleged rape victimās own testimony was the only evidence (sheās 38yo now) should mean reasonable doubt is obvious. Especially since she had consented to vaginal sex and indulged in the same kind of other sex she accused him of, consensually, with him on previous occasions. Thatās not a credible victim witness.
Another alleged case involving a 16yo is outstanding (16 is the age of consent in the UK, btw). If he is found guilty of that on REAL evidence he should rot in jail. But this particular trial was a disgrace. The other three sexual assault allegations were absurdly weak.
So⦠This is a very very sick and broken system. They went after him. A journo-led PR campaign. And a police ad campaign to attract complaints. It was ideological and/or political. Thatās seriously bad. For reasons that go way beyond just this one case. And reasons that will impact real rape victims negatively too, and make it even harder for them to get justice. @megynkelly@KonstantinKisin@LozzaFox
