    The important word here is “charged”. He hasn’t been convicted. Until it’s been proven, I don’t think anybody here can claim to know that he’s innocent nor guilty.

      Incorrect. He’s definitely guilty. He has resting rapist face. When he walks into an elevator, everyone is like phwoah, what smells of rapist? Because Russel brand is definitely a rapist.

        How do you know? What evidence do you have?

        Should everybody just be judged by the way they look?

          He has multiple credible rape allegations going back years.

          He supports ideologies that encourage hurting others.

          His peers are known rapists.

          He’s active in an explicitly pro-rape social scene.

          He’s rich and famous, which neurologically reduces your brain’s capacity for empathy and encourages more harmful behaviors.

          Russel Brand exists in a social environment that permits harming others and specifically encourages rape, and he has reduced cognitive barriers to harming others. As an organism, his social and cognitive environment is a strong incentive to commit rape and multiple witnesses say he has.

      It’s logically possible that he’s innocent, but, all evidence considered, it’s not terribly likely.

      It’s somewhat more likely that he’ll walk, though rich, well-connected dudes have a way of evading consequences.

        not go around trying to police what everyone else says about the accused online

        “don’t police others”

        shut the fuck up

        “I will police you”. “do I say, not as I do”

      I don’t think he’s ever been charged, this is just the result of the police investigation into the allegations that were raised in the Channel 4 documentary a few years ago.

    Didn’t he find religion so that he could escape these consequences?
