Yes, but more repulsive and less humane.

How 2000s lad culture helped Russell Brand to hide in plain sight

How 2000s lad culture helped Russell Brand to hide in plain sight
The behaviour that formed the backdrop to Brand's prosecution also helped elevate him, writes the BBC's media editor Katie Razzall.

The Spectator is following suit.
Russell Brand’s New Statesman apostles
Before his rape conviction Russell Brand was once guest editor of an edition of the New Statesman titled ‘Revolution of Consciousness’.

Dan Neidel has given an update. And it's worse than I thought.
She's prevented from speaking to the police about it.
I wonder what happens if the police contact her about it?

A brilliant explanation of some of the evidence used to convict Brand. There are too many people lying and misrepresenting this case as he said, she said, with no other evidence.
In this instance corroboration comes from the victim's state as seen by friends afterwards, visits to a clinic and Brand himself. That circumstantial evidence, supports the rape claim.

It is an area that desperately needs amending in primary legislation.

Oh my goodness. That looks really bad in hindsight.

I never liked the guy or "fawned" over him even when he was a "darling of the left". Something about him always rubbed me the wrong way.
Also, I think he's been "fawned over" more recently by the right.

Russell Brand’s secret injunction: the order that silenced his accuser
The never-published High Court order Russell Brand won in 2015: a lifelong gag on his accuser, Sylvie Berki, that bars her even from speaking to the police.

Elsewhere we have at least one poster arguing in favour of this sort of restriction on the grounds that "The process IS the punishment!"

I don't understand how this can be legal. Couldn't a court lift the injunction?
I think it needs the court to do that and needs her to apply. With no funds. And no legal aid. And limited ability to crowdfund, "please help me raise funds for legal fees so I can apply to lift an injunction". "An injunction preventing you doing what?" "I can't legally tell you".

An MP needs to stand up in Parliament and read all of the details. I believe that's how to beat this type of injunction

Incredible!
I'm writing to my MP. I guess that most (except a few like Lowe or Christopher Chope) would be shocked
