Because the conviction rate for rapes is abysmally low.  Many women see little point in reliving the crime, being attacked in the witness box and then watch their attacker go free. 

I've recently had dealings with the CPS as a victim. Those fokkers couldn't find their own arse with both hands. It's not that they are chronically underfunded, that just gives them an excuse, it's that they are unaccountable and they don't care. I hope they put more effort into pursuing rape convictions but I seriously doubt it. 

 

I've told the police who put together all the evidence for 'my' case that I will NEVER volunteer to help in any future case of any description. The emotional investment just isn't worth it. 

 

My own case is trivial compared to that of a rape victim but it's made me realise why victims are likely to be better off not having to deal with the criminal 'justice' system.

I'm just acknowledging your response because in all honesty , I don't know what to say to this. 

[Rousset1]

Je suis Russell Brand.

 

Nah, just kidding.

 

He's a slimy ****!

[Tazio]

Slows really is a decent person. This short excerpt from one of his shows is very powerful. Contains bad language if that sort of thing bothers you.

I'm gonna echo what @periodictabledancer said above, and just acknowledge what you've said, because there's nothing else helpful I can say.

Apparently this is from a 2019 article in the Evening Standard.

 

[Wee Mikey]

Clearly, no laughing matter, but Morgana Robinson used to rip him to bits.

 

I'll have to dig out my V.I.P. DVD as there's zero chance of it ever getting an airing on telly again.

 

The bit here where he "has sex with Vladimir Putin's 23 years old grand-daughter" must've been about as close as she was able to go without being hit with an injunction:-

Doesn't greatly surprise me, I thought there was something far off about him since the Andrew Sachs incident.

 

Talks on live radio about having sex with the then 78 year old mans granddaughter, then leaves vulgar messages about having sex with her on the old mans answer machine? And that's rip roaringly funny?

It's so far from funny it's not just malicious that's getting into sadistic and was an unintended look into his psyche.

[JFK-1]

This episode contains detailed allegations of rape and sexual assault. Following an exclusive investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches we hear how the comedian and actor Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse.

 

Journalists Rosamund Urwin and Charlotte Wace reveal the harrowing stories of two of Brand’s alleged victims.

 

Russell Brand strongly denies all the allegations.

Had a similar experience as yourself when my house got burgled 🤬 

[Harry Potter]

Never liked him after the Andrew Sachs incident, wrong un of the highest degree.

[Armageddon]

So it seems the entertainment industry has known for 20 years that he’s a predator but everyone was scared.

 

The #MeToo campaign was 2017 and he managed to escape injury free, plus with a super injunction he’s done his best to protect himself.

 

There’s going to be huge numbers coming forward here.

[Diadora Van Basten]

When he rented a flat from a friend of a friend during the Edinburgh Festival there was an allegation that a rape had taken place in the flat but Brand wasn’t involved. The flat was completely trashed.

[iantjambo]

Innocent until proven otherwise. However, if he’s charged, tried and found guilty, I wouldn’t be in the slightest bit surprised.

Always struck me is a bit of a wrong ‘un.

It's disgusting the way much older men use coercive and controlling behaviour on girls young enough to be their daughters or granddaughters. They are too scared to say no after being put in intolerable situations and end up going along with it against their wishes.

Well he really is foul.

 

 Saying spitting is part of sex ? Yuck. That says a lot about him really.  Whether the other allegations are true is still to be decided.  

 

Unsure about the issue of him having a relationship with a 16 years old. Whilst its perfectly legal there certainly is a power imbalance and those type of relationships can be open to abuse. But then again a 30 years old woman could be in an abusive relationship with a  45 years old man ? 

 

Does it mean we need to up the age of consent ?

Last night probably triggered a lot of women thinking back to their teens, whilst I was never sexually assaulted, I remember being in some very unsettling situations and conversations with older men and just trying to laugh it off as being a bit of banter but it's a horrible feeling, thankfully times have moved on and I think and hope this is less frequent

They don't just do a hit job on someone now.If there is nothing to answer for I'm sure he will have a lawsuit out against all involved.The outcry from him on social media was to his cult followers.

Sadly I'm not sure it's less frequent or just older men .

This isn't good ,is it now part of our culture .

He's an utter bellend, but how can these cases be carried forward after so long. I can't imagine there's much evidence after all these years.

 

Seems he's upset the wrong person and the media are going to throw mud at him until enough sticks. He'll slink off into the darkness and we won't hear much from him for a good few years.

[Cameronstheman]

If he aint been charged, whys his name out for all to see  ??, that seems harsh

I've said this before and it was laughed at but I think in the future you will have to sign a form or something before having sex with someone to prove you  both consented.  

That's what Weinstein 's lawyer said.............whoever gets to their lawyer first.

He was quite funny years and years ago when he started out . I recall him as the studio host of " Big brother " . He was great then.  Unsure how women or indeed men find him attractive though.  Its a no from me.

The age of consent is 16 because 16 year olds will have sex with each other, it isn’t so men can have sex with girls many years younger than them. Of course legally they can but it’s thoroughly unsavoury.

With reference to your last paragraph, do you think the women involved are all part of some elaborate plot to bring him down because he has upset the wrong person?.

Not at all, I just can't understand how the police can bring forward a case with the reasonable expectation of success in these situations when the evidence amounts to "She said... She alleges... She claims..."

 

It would not be too difficult for a good legal team to deal with. 

 

Yet these stories often come forward regardless. Like they know they won't get a conviction but trial by public opinion will do.

As I've previously written on here - I lost faith in the legal profession when I was doing a law degree. Justice is talked about as an incidental matter. The real focus is arguing coherently and winning the argument. Everything else like victims, punishments, recidivism, criminality, mitigation & justice are side-factors. They are merely incidentals to support the argument and help get the "win".

I would imagine there is more to come, should women stay quiet about rape, Because they won't be believed due to lack of evidence?

You're forgetting the woman in America ? The one who had to have emergency contraception and a medical examination ? 

How do you know "It would not be too difficult for a good legal team to deal with. "?

Prosecution rates in the UK for rape cases is abysmally low and success rates negligible.

 

And why would these women bother when they worked in the industry alongside Brand and could see that he was treated with kid gloves in the industry, no one wanted to get a grip on his behaviour or hold him accountable. He was untouchable.
