[Content warning: discussion of rape and sexual assault] –Russel Brand, GUILTY

Of rape and sexual assault, has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced on Monday, to what the judge called a significant prison sentence. The Met have said they have to further cases against him that are before the CPS.

I really hope this case shines a light on the men who think they're entitled by fame to abuse any woman they choose.I hope the person who's currently asking the courts to stop him being named as a sexual abuser, because he might "try and kill himself" if named, gets told, no and that freedom of the press matters and that the women he's alledged of assaulting can have their day in court after a full and thorough investigation.

This comes on top of TWO cases currently before the courts of men accused of drugging their wives, raping them, photographing and filming them and asking other men to come and do the same.

I think Madam Pelicot has opened the floodgates on the amount of depravity some men are capable of. Apparently its quite a common fantasy among men, to want to have sex with an unconious woman!

  • I fan day from. Experiance sadly that sometimes men don't report it because well we consent until we don't and the other guy just keeps going and we assume yes means yes evrn though we said no. 

    Basicly st least in my case I felt less of a victim because I instgated sex but told the guy to stop as I was no longer feeling it bit his reply(in both cases as it happened two times sadly)  was I just need to. Finish

    It was years later I figured out what had actually happened and it's was too late to do anything about it asni didn't have enough info on the men involved but luckily i moved past it and future sexual encounters with both genders went better. 

  • Another thing that many don't realise is how many men are raped by other men

    There remains a huge amount of shame around being the victim, having performed what is seen as a gay act and not being able to defend themselves - at least for many men.

    For this reason many will not report it for fear the will be thought less of by their partner and/or peers.

  • Another thing that many don't realise is how many men are raped by other men and it's not always a gay thing either, but the same power dynamics as when men rape women
