[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!

  • We do have a long way to go still, but if this case is just one step in the right direction, then its a good thing.

    I can't read the Independent as it won't let me on without disabling ad blockers and allowing it to do other things I don't want.

    I think many women feel that if they try and police what other women say, so and wear, it marks them out as "decent" or "respectable" as if it makes them immune to sexual violence. Women are often far harsher critics of other women than men, you'd think it would be otherwise but men are often more likely to convict another man of rape than their femal peers on a jury.

    Now David Walliams is being accused of sexually abusive behaviour towards several women who say he started grooming them whilst they were in their teens. Walliams says he's done nothing wrong although admits to maybe being unwise in his choice of sexual partners. He was the one who went to court to stop th Guardian and ITV from publishing the allegations against him, trying to use human rights law to stop them.

    As nothing has yet to come to court, we don't know the truth of these allegations and allegations is what they remain.
