[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!

Parents
  • Ten and a half years. I hope more cases come forward to add to his sentence. Awful man.

  • Minimum of seven years. I would imagine this will be added to significantly with the number of other women expected to come forward and he'll be a very old man by the time he's released. I found the use of his children to argue for a lighter sentence quite distasteful. Nobody wants to deprive children of a parent but his crimes have caused real everlasting trauma to his victims and he has only himself to blame for any impact on his kids. Plenty of people are given custodial sentences when they have young children.
