I understand what you are saying, but given how woefully low the numbers of cases of grape and sexual assault actually going to trial are I am always delighted when they do and I make no apology for that. And, come on, who doesn’t believe that Russell Brand isn’t a massive wrong un?
You raise a fair point re the difficulty of proving guilt in what are largely "he said, she said" cases - however, the point @bladerunner is highlighting is the double standards on display. If you truly believe in the presumption if innocence, right to a fair trial etc then you extend those values to everyone, even those with whom you are ideologically opposed.

Same with "Ha ha, I hope he gets grape in prison."

How very right-on of you.

The thing is, the Internet being the Internet, people are very weird about sexual assault cases.
While it's a very different situation to Russell Brand, there was the Smartschoolboy9 situation just months ago (yes, that is real and not a creepypasta) where the memes and attempts at vigilante justice actively hindered police investigation of a prolific pedophile.
People have to be careful about what they say and do in these situations.

Does anyone remember the actor who Chris Parker, who played Spencer Moon in Eastenders? He also appeared on the very first series of Strictly and came runner up. Well he attempted to take his own life and had to be written out of the show, it was alleged it was in part because of awful stuff written about him in the DS soap forum and the mods had to make a pinned thread about it. We weren’t allowed to talk about him at all as there had obviously been a complaint made by either the BBC or his agent. I hadn’t thought about this for years until he was mentioned again in Eastenders recently. He has left acting altogether now I believe. The DS soap forum really was crazy back then.

Does anyone else remember Roger, who was obsessed with Ugg boots, and men being allowed to wear them? I'm surprised he didn't pop up elsewhere. He'd be so easy to spot. I can't remember his full username.

Who was the one that pretended to be a Pidgeon ?

bulletguy was a pretty cool poster. One of the few who were sane in that place. I think he got banned when he advised another user to not talk about trans issues.

Cornish Piskie. Hated her with a passion.

I think they had alt accounts and would constantly argue with themselves to make it look like two different people. He got rumbled when he forgot to log out of one account and tried to backtrack by adding ''coo coo'' to the end of a post.

Some who passed on -

WonkyDonkey - Died from Cancer
Uncle Fester - Not confirmed, but he most likely passed due to him being in his 80s.
Cessna - Stopped posting in 2021. He was in his 90's I think, so it's most likely that he's passed.
Ebony Hamster - Died from blood clots.

I think Woodbush also passed. He used to post pictures of his german shepherd if I remember rightly.

A woman from the Soap forums also passed away a couple of years ago. I can't remember her username on DS but her username was Blades' Receptionist on the Walford Web forum.
