This explains his sudden turn to Christianity last year. He’s going to try the “God forgave me” defense.
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary? Why didn’t the police investigate before? If so there should be an investigation and prosecution of those involved in the “non-investigation”.
This failure to investigate is an outrage, many people including me listened to Russel Brand in the 2010s, but the police failed to investigate and now has the gall to say “the defendant has a right to a fair trial”? Does the public not also have a right to a fail investigation and prosecution?
Its always the ones you expect
I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.
lol
honest question here. unless there is video and audio proof. how the fuck could someone be charged for this 20+ years later over “he said she said”? like how the hell does that work. Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?
Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?
Yes, that is how it works. They will be in prison the next day.
It’s actually really easy. All you have to do is prepare some evidence, such as text messages and emails in 2002.
Then you need to have several really cool and chill interviews with detectives. You should get your family and friends to lie to the police as well – tell them to say that you described the fabricated rape to them way back in 2002.
You should also make up some fake police reports from 2002 which were not pursued.
The real trick though is getting several other women to do the same thing.
Then yeah, the next day the police will arrest the person you’ve accused and they will be jailed without trial.
You’re a fucking idiot.
Relax buddy. He was asking a genuine question, not doubting the victim.
Yeah, he’s just asking questions, what’s the big deal?
Yeah, it was a genuinely dumb question.
Edit: also, this wasn’t a genuine question. Read it again, the poster makes a bunch of ridiculous assumptions to frame this as an absurd scenario. People who ask questions like this aren’t doing it in good faith, and they should be told to fuck off with prejudice.
Sounds like a lot of not evidence to me. Also, probably bring it up sooner.
Are you ok? That is call law and order. You accuse someone, judge look into it, if there is a merit, it goes to trial, and law can determine based on evidence?
Did you read my question and comprehend it? I said other than video or audio proof how could there been be evidence in a case like this other than hearsay?
I can’t believe I bought this guys book. WTF was I thinking.
How can this book be more than interesting and novel grammatical constructs saying a lot of bull shit at 200kmh?
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
Wasn’t it somehow clear he did something like that?
The way he groped Vanessa Bayer on SNL, I can’t say I’m surprised
For anyone who cares to watch:
Season 36, episode 15. Air date: Feb 12, 2011. Skit: Livin’ Single.Over a decade later, it still makes me uncomfortable.
Age-restricted videos cannot be watched without Google login
Lol. Can’t watch evidence of allegations of pundits and politicians without giving your phone number and therefor become personally identifiable.
Wait, was that amount of groping not part of the sketch?
I’d imagine they had that planned out, but you never know I guess.
Do we know that that wasn’t consensual? Did she say later that the bit went further than they had agreed?
He’ll be in Joe Rogan in about a month
Freudian slip, but true nonetheless
Charged with rape again, right? Didn’t we-the-people already cancel this idiot once?
Well, I’ve seen this coming for a while now, but I must admit, I actually liked him once upon a time. His comedy specials weren’t just funny, they made you think about the abstract ideas of religion and consciousness. He was like a handsome rockstar comedian, the sort of person I wish I could be. Smart, sexy, cool, interesting. Hell, when I got sober from alcohol, reading his book that re-imagined the twelve steps into something less religious actually helped.
But then I heard the rumors, and it kind of fit with the image he gave himself. And then he made that abrupt turn into right-wing conspiracy and that all but confirmed it. To be honest I thought he’d already been charged with something and had just celebrity-ed his way out of it. Sucks, man.
I loved Dennis Miller back in the '80s, before he made his heel turn into a right-wing douche. In retrospect, I realize I actually just liked the SNL writers coupled with his snarky delivery.
Hey, help is help, don’t let his failings mean that your success is somehow tarnished. I get the sentiment as well. He was a little over the top for my taste but the reboot of Arthus he did still ranks pretty high on my list.
