From the link..

 

One of the women who has accused entertainer Russell Brand of sexual assault when she was 16 has said his behaviour was an "open secret".

 

The woman, known as Alice, added that allegations against him have been "a long time coming".

 

The comedian and actor has been accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013, which he denies.

 

Speaking through an actor to Emma Barnett on Woman's Hour, she said his denial was "laughable" and "insulting".

 

Interesting that this 'woman' has been given the same fake name as the 'woman' who alleged Andrew Tate abused her. 🤔

Maybe they should have just called both of them “victim of alleged rape by powerful man”.

 

That would have been a mighty coincidence n’est pas.

You've got to be pretty lost in the echo chamber, not to mention your own resentful bitterness, to set out your stall as a rubbisher of a report that was the result of four years' worth of diligent investigation, fact-checking and lawyerly consultation.  It takes ardent commitment to be - and I'll be generous here - let's say wilfully unaware of the reasons why a sixteen year old girl, or indeed any woman, might not report rape and sexual assault, especially when the alleged assailant is a wealthy, powerful and much older man. 

 

We have a culture in which misogyny is so deeply ingrained that when a man boasts of abusive sexual behaviour - when boasting of that abusive sexual behaviour is an essential part of his persona - he isn't condemned but celebrated and subsequently enthusiastically defended when those boasts turn out to be more reportage than comedy routine. 

 

That our friends here are entirely happy to post as they do on this thread and elsewhere is a tiny wee insight into what's out there, and you don't even have to turn over rocks to see it.

So when is all this carefully gathered evidence going to be presented to the CPS?
