Comedian Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotionally abusing four women during the height of his fame.
The alleged assaults occurred between 2006 and 2013, while he was a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4, and include an assault on a 16-year-old girl.
He vehemently denied the “very serious criminal allegations” ahead of a Sunday Times article and an expected expose to be aired by Channel 4’s Dispatches programme tonight.
The allegations include crew members on his Big Brother spin-off being made to feel they were working as a “pimp” by approaching young women on his behalf, and that he raped a woman at his Los Angeles home.
Who do you think comprises the judge, jury and executioner?
Juries are random people chosen off the street.
Judges are elected most of the time.
Executioners in states that still have the death penalty are just workers.
Everyone in government is a member of the public because that’s what a government is.
Judges aren’t elected in the UK. And we don’t have the death penalty.
I’m not sure why you thought the US system applied. We’re talking about a British comedian on /c/United Kingdom, on a UK instance.
He’s so ubiquitous among the right wing here that I thought he was being charged in the U.S.
Jurists are generally held to a higher standard than newspaper editors
