Yeah. Here:

https://amp.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/17/a-timeline-of-sexual-assault-allegations-against-russell-brand

Of all those claims, these stuck out:

  • a 16 year old in 2006 when he was 30 and gave her instructions to hide from parents. Underage is rape.

  • In 2012 he is accused of raping a woman who was treated in a Rape Treatment Center afterwards.

  • In 2020, there was another 16 year old and evidently his manager believed him at first and then issued a statement saying he was misled and terminated business with him.

I only see allegations, no convictions. Remember what happened to Kevin Spacey and Julian Assange?

For what it’s worth: I’m not saying he’s innocent. But to go from allegation to conviction, you’ll need a judge in my book. Not a trial by media.

Well there are cases where one unnamed source makes an unprovable accusation, and then there are cases with multiple alleged victims over the span of a decade…

don’t pretend like it would be impossible for the powers that be to conjure up people to make simultaneous accusations to get someone out of the public arena
