Yeah thats why I said I can't keep up. I have got them mixed up. So the condom incident was in CA. So the question is if this is regarded as rape in not wearing a condom when asked why hasn't he been charged. Why has it taken so long.
Because, like many rape victims, she didn't go to the police.

Ok fair enough. Well if a wrong did happen lets hope justice will be served. So long as its justice by the proper procedure and not trial by media. But lets also hope that all the other coverups of wealthy and powerful people who have done wrong especially when it involves children are exposed and brought to justice.

But I don't trust the system. It was only 10 odd years ago that the same media outlets were holding up Brand as their darling, celebrating his free lifestyle and the same sort of behaviour. Now for some strange reason hes no longer their poster boy.

Russell Brand charged with multiple counts of rape and assault in the U.K.

The charges are connected to alleged attacks on multiple women between 1999 and 2005. He’s scheduled to face charges before the Westminster Magistrates’ Court on May 2.

Brand has pivoted away from acting and has worked to refashion himself as an anti-establishment commentator, and made news last year announcing he’d been baptized.

The baptism came months after numerous women alleged they were sexually assaulted by him between 2006 and 2013. The accusations first surfaced in a joint investigation published in September by the Times of London and U.K. Channel 4’s “Dispatches” news program.

Brand denied the allegations a day before their publication, saying in a YouTube video, “The relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual.”
