Innocent till proven guilty a dead concept? Russel Brand:

But they are penalizing a person over mere ALLEGATIONS. Google IS evil
I don't care what the social media companies do about associating themselves or not with Brand, as they are corporations acting in their own and their stockholders interests and brand can try a lawsuit if he likes.
That said, I do regard Google as one of the great Satans of the world, simply for their data mining of those that use any of their services.
 
In AMERICA we value the concept of innocent until proven guilty. I know that's a foreign concept to leftists. But it's an AMERICAN principle ALL should embrace.

The actor and comedianā€™s management company postponed the three remaining dates of Brandā€™s ā€œBipolarisationā€ tour in Britain on Sept. 18., two days after sexual assault allegations against Brand by four women were published and televised following a joint investigation that resulted in a Channel 4 TV documentary and in joint reports in The Times of London and Sunday Times newspapers.


The four women, who have not been named and who NBC News has not spoken to alleged that Brand raped, sexually assaulted or abused them between 2006 and 2013.

One of the women said she was had a three-month relationship with Brand when she was 16. Another woman alleged that Brand raped her in 2012 at his Los Angeles home.

The U.K. Metropolitan Police Service told NBC News that it received a report of a sexual assault allegedly involving Brand that occurred in 2003 in London on Sept. 18, a day after the allegations were reported on television and in newspapers.

Multiple women allege that Brand raped, sexually assaulted or abused them​

Channel 4, The Times and The Sunday Times jointly investigated the allegations against Brand.

In the published reports and the accompanying Channel 4 documentary, four women alleged that Brand had raped, sexually assaulted or abused them between 2006 and 2013.

One woman alleged that Brand ā€˜groomedā€™ her at 16

One of Brandā€™s accusers, who used the pseudonym Alice, told The Times she was 16 years old when she began a three-month relationship with the ā€œForgetting Sarah Marshallā€ star, who was then 31.

Though 16 is the legal age of consent in the United Kingdom, the woman alleged that Brand groomed her, pressured her to perform sexual acts and raped her. Alice described to The Times having to push Brand off of her and punching him in the stomach on one occasion.

Alice told The Times that Brand referred to her as ā€œthe childā€ and would send a car for her to be picked up at school and taken to his home.

ā€œRussell engaged in the behaviors of a groomer, looking back, but I didnā€™t even know what that was then, or what that looked like,ā€ Alice told The Times.

Another woman said Brand raped her in the U.S.

Another one of Brandā€™s accusers in the Channel 4, The Times and The Sunday Times investigation, who used the name Nadia, said that Brand raped her in 2012 at his Los Angeles residence.

Nadia told reporters that Brand invited her to his home after the two had consensual sex, but on this occasion wanted a ā€œfriendā€ to join them, according to The Times.

When Nadia refused, Brand pushed her against a wall and raped her, she alleged.

One woman alleged that Brand sexually assaulted her when they worked together

One woman in the Channel 4, The Times and The Sunday Times investigation said Brand sexually assaulted her when they worked together in L.A.

Brand was also accused of exposing himself

Brand worked with Channel 4 from 2004 and 2007, when some of the alleged behavior is said to have occurred.

One Channel 4 employee, who used the pseudonym Rachel, told The Times that Brand exposed his penis to her in his dressing room and made insinuation about her performing oral sex on him.

Some Channel 4 colleagues said Brand made them feel like ā€˜pimpsā€™

Some Channel 4 crew members told the Times that they felt like they were working as a ā€œpimpā€ for Brand as he pursued members of the audience for sex, according to NBC News.

ā€œWe have asked the production company who produced the programs for Channel 4 to investigate these allegations and report their findings properly and satisfactorily to us,ā€ the network said. ā€œChannel 4 is also conducting its own internal investigation, and we would encourage anyone who is aware of such behavior to contact us directly.ā€

Episodes of ā€œBig Brotherā€™s Big Mouthā€ and ā€œThe Great British Bake Offā€ featuring Brand have been removed from Channel 4ā€™s streaming service.

Some events allegedly happened while Brand worked for the BBC

Some events the accusers described allegedly happened while Brand worked as a host and presenter for the BBC from 2006 to 2008.


The BBC said in a statement that it is ā€œurgently looking into the issues raisedā€ by the reports.

ā€œRussell Brand worked for a number of different organizations of which the BBC was one,ā€ the statement read. ā€œAs is well known, Russell Brand left the BBC after a serious editorial breach in 2008 ā€” as did the then controller of Radio 2. The circumstances of the breach were reviewed in detail at the time. We hope that demonstrates that the BBC takes issues seriously and is prepared to act.ā€

The U.K. Metropolitan Police Service received a report of an alleged 2003 assault

The U.K. Metropolitan Police Service told NBC News that it received a report of an alleged assault against Brand on Sept. 17, a day after the investigationā€™s publication and a documentary that also aired Saturday.

The alleged assault occurred in Londonā€™s Soho neighborhood in 2003, according to the police department.

ā€œWe continue to encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a sexual offence, no matter how long ago it was, to contact us,ā€ Metropolitan Police Service said.

Nobody would have given a shit. Fuck Google.

You know they're in court these days for breaking anti-trust laws, right?

And if they lose they should be punished appropriately.

But anti-trust laws are not why Russell Brand was dropped.

Can you imagine the worst case scenario for YouTube if they acted as though he were innocent? In 3 or 4 years, when the court dust settles, and Russell Brand is found guilty of multiple counts of sexual assault, You Tube would be hung for having a serial rapist given access to millions of people.

So when he's exhonerated, he's missed out on 3-4 years of revenue, no?

Google is picking winners and losers is what it boils down to. Also silencing anyone that opposes their agenda.

They are evil.
 
In AMERICA we value the concept of innocent until proven guilty. I know that's a foreign concept to leftists. But it's an AMERICAN principle ALL should embrace.

The concept of "innocent until proven guilty" is for courtrooms.

Oh, and yes it is an American principle. But this case is in the UK. Good luck trying to apply constitutional principles to other nations.
 
Wow, Brand is demonetized and removed from social media over mere allegations, no proof necessary. So many questions about this: SO many questions about Biden and Ukrainian collusion and the war...But Brand DID STUFF? Biden is getting buku $ for pushing a phoney war. And he's the President.

It has always been a dead concept in the court of public opinion.

The juries of Washington DC do not accept the presumption of innocence. They are rubber-stamping the illegal actions of the Justice Dept.
 
Most accusations of sexual misconduct are proven false. Just saying.
 
It is not just one woman but several who have come forward about his behavior.


And NO, it has nothing to do with Biden and anything about the country, but it would have been more appropriate to compare it to Trump and the dozens of women who came forward and accused HIM of sexual harassment and one woman who has successfully won her case against him of rape.


But, there goes Mary L. It is all about BIDEN. !!!!!
Wow, Biden also had multiple accusations of sexual abuse if memory serves me right. And those accusations got memory holed. Brother Sixties fan, I am after Biden because he IS the current lighting rod and he's gonna get all the flak he deserves.
