effeffsee_the2nd Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 2 hours ago, ICTChris said: There was an interview on Woman’s Hour with the woman who accused Brand of sexually assaulting her when she was 16 talking about their relationship. She said that alongside BBC cars Ickes her up from school to take her to Brands house, Brand’s agent advised him not to be seen with her in public as having a 16 year old girlfriend would be bad for his image. They discussed whether to claim the girl was Brand’s niece or goddaughter before deciding just to have them arrive at Brand’s house hours apart to avoid any suspicion. His agent at the time says he can’t comment due to legal issues that he also cannot discuss (super-injunction?). If you are sitting in a brainstorming session on how to cover up a man in his 30s shagging a 16 year old schoolgirl would you not re-examine your life? What exactly is the accusation? that he committed an act without her consent? I'm asking cause I havent read up on it. or is this more like the schofield case? people were calling on schofiield to be charged, but what with? sexual relationships with large age gaps of the kind we're talking about, although socially unacceptable, are not illegal? In some other places the age of consent laws are a bit more nuanced ( got to be careful how you spell that!) where sex between 2 young people of a similar age is tolerated but the blanket threshold is higher. most people would agree it is mental to criminalise an 18 year old for having sex with a 17 year old, it's also equaly mental that a 38 year old can legally sleep with a 17 year old! perhaps we should think about something like that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody has implemented that precisely but there are jurisdictions which have exemptions to age of consent for narrow age gaps In the UK a 30year old having sex with a 16 year old is legal, but a 16 year old with a 15 year old girlfriend or boyfriend is, legally speaking, a sex offender Which intuitively seems out of order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Seen this getting shared a lot recently. Apparently Russell Brand telling the truth is the reason he's getting attacked. Also, he has kids now so any and all previous crimes should be forgiven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Good that Kate Shermani plays the family values card when her crackpottery has caused her children and family to become estranged from her. Worth remembering that Brand received the notification of the allegations more than two weeks ago and has since claimed he has witnesses who directly contradict the allegations. He’s lost his YouTube monetisation, lost his book deal and has been released by his agency. If he had evidence that these allegations are true it’s in his interest to reveal it, he could salvage his £1m/year revenue from YouTube, get his book out, tour back on. Instead he’s raving on Rumble to an audience of Covid brained lunatics. Got to assume that this is it, this is going to be his line of defence/attack. Muh Deep State. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Bit off-topic but I seem to remember reading at the time of the Alex Salmond trial that there was a principle where the number of accusations eventually became cumulative and counted against the accused - is that distinct to Scottish Law and am I even remembering correctly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it undermined the whole case by bringing in relatively trivial things like touching someone's knee once. I think it's a mainly Scottish thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
