I read that too, and I really wish I hadn’t. It affected me very deeply and I wish I didn’t know what I now know about it all.

Ultimately it's the victims' choice to pursue a court case. But be aware thar it can also depend on whether the Crown Prosecution services deem there to be chance of prosecution. Horribly often the police/CPS take No Further Action if they effectively don't think there's a realistic chance that they'll win.

In my work, I see so often where you'll have the victim report to the police, give an incredibly detailed statement and be willing to go to court, yet it still ends up as NFA due to 'evidential difficulties' because it boils down to one word against another.

Mason Greenwood didn’t go to trial. Rightly or wrongly, his girlfriend withdrew her allegation, and there was insufficient evidence to take it to trial

I find it fascinating that Channel 4 are airing something that airs them out. If it's purely to take down a rapist then fair enough, but I can't help but feel this isn't 100% due to that.

Russell Brand's a nonce either way.

Some of his victims took it to the media companies/the people around him and nothing was done so I imagine it would have been hard to gather up the courage to report it again but this time to the authorities.

(For people wondering why nothing was said or done sooner.)

It's much, much worse than that . He and a partner were discussing having a child to abuse them. I feel sick typing it tbh

Oh don’t worry, I wasn’t underplaying his crimes, I didn’t know the ins and outs and that was my basic remembering.

Omg who needs enemies with “friends” like that ey! What a shining endorsement of personal conduct!!

Something that really concerns me is all that will inevitably come out about how he used recovery spaces to find victims. Sadly there was one in the Times article already, but she won’t be the only.

It’s The Truman Show

Trying to secure a conviction of rape especially after many years is very difficult. Would be too much stress for most people, not to mention cost.

He also got her pregnant while he was meant to be staying away from her which helps to stop her speaking out

The stories from the junior runners aren’t assault - it’s highly inappropriate but clearly they were all at it during that time. I think it was that industry (or so many industries tbh: media etc) during that era. So the narrative there is more about that, not specifically Russell.

Obviously the woman in LA is different.
