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

TheCatWoman

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 think it shines a light on laddish culture of the 90s. Boys were boisterous and sensitive. Girls also, but with drugs and alcohol thrown in, it was always volatile. Brags between mates become mission statements, and stupid decisions get made. Lives get ruined. There's a shoegaxe song all about it somewhere.

    With Russell you had King Lad: an articulate, yet arrogant comedian who can be disarming and charming, but with a mission in his trousers constantly! People think, "oh that's Russell, innit? He's a birruva geeza innit? He likes the ladies, knows his to use the banter!"

    But, Russell knows he could, because he was a star, go that but too far, push for bonus XP on his mission. People usually get hurt in these situations: innocent people.

    I had my doubts about him. I found him to  quite amusing, although the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall just showed his Russell's rock star character needed no acting, at all!
