I don't want to support a rapist if he is really a rapist. That won't be fair if the allegations are true. Being neutral is the best position. I think one solid way to put an end to this nonsense of true versus false rape allegations is to have text message regarding consent before having sex. An agreement sort of. This way both parties are saved unnecessary stress. The women who make false claims will not get away with it since there will be evidence to the contrary in the form of a consent text. And a rapist won't get away with raping women because he will face the burden to produce proof that he had acquired explicit consent before sex and ensured it carefully. This way he has evidence(or lack of it) to prove that he wasn't simply engaging in sex without any self awareness but it was legit consensual sex and if he cannot produce that, in some ways he could be liable for being irresponsible around consent. The burden of proof is on both sides and should ideally be on both sides. After reviewing some of the evidence (now of course nobody knows how things went down), it seems like he did rape the woman or at least forced himself upon her(which is obviously rape), if her words are to be believed. He got inside her forcefully despite her not wanting it. That's rape. I'm surprised she didn't press charges on him right away with the police at the time. It could be his influence or the shame she must have felt.

With the whole Russell Brand thing, this is the biggest question on everyone's mind now. How to not get into trouble with a drunk girl? Lol. There's not a simple answer. It doesn't matter if someone is drunk. False accusations have become a thing now. You just have to be around women who have been known to be problem-free. Someone with a good reputation. Avoid women with issues. Also send her a text before sex where she clearly agrees to have sex. And save that text. So you always have a bona fide conversation that shows her name and consent. She cannot pull you in court, if she does, you'll always have evidence of her lies and forgery and she cannot prove lack of consent. Women who hold a grudge against you do this nonsense to simply get you in trouble. Stay safe.

Although when the woman had already consented and then the rape charge doesn't hold ground, so you don't go to prison, yet, your reputation and consequently your career is tarnished forever. I mean that part doesn't change. What you lost, you can never get it back. Even though you didn't rape and she changed her mind.

There are many situations where a woman does give consent but later claims rape. This can be very tricky. This happened with Nick Carter. I don't know if there's a way to work around it.

Guilty in court but not in conscience.

Then technically it's rape but not psychologically. It means guilt does not exist. It's almost like doing something wrong and then developing memory loss..

I don't believe he is a bad guy. Maybe eccentric. But in his videos, he has mostly been a defender of truth. I'm not saying he is being framed. But there's a chance that everything happened under the heavy influence of alcohol and drugs and at an age where he wasn't very matured in terms of dating. He never gives creepy vibes. I. Don't know. Maybe too strange. Honestly if he is accused and convicted, it will be a huge shock. I don't think that people should be randomly accused of rape. It's important to differentiate things on the basis of maturity, age, psychological state, drugs, level of influence, social factors etc. It shouldn't be just rape. What if he is truly innocent and didn't mean to hurt. What if he wasn't truly aware of his own actions and acting unconsciously. This could be very distinctly different from a career criminal. Harvey Weinstwin was a different thing. He was deliberately acting creepy even on camera. He was like a career criminal. I don't think that's the case with Brand.

It's not hard to have sex blindly under the influence of alcohol. What I'm saying is that it could be sex and might not be rape. Alcohol can significantly diminish right from wrong and sex is so easy. It doesn't need pure brain like Math or driving.

People can do bad things under the influence of drugs. And alcohol. And immaturity. Even if they aren't bad people.

Maybe Brand has had addiction trouble. Doesn't seem like a shady guy.

that's hard to watch!!! Oh man.

@Yimpasalutes your dad

Don't be sexist. Groping is groping.

Read my pm and you'll know everything. Don't say pm stuff here though.

Haha, you don't understand guys. chill. Telling a dude no need to be enraged is like telling a girl no need to act sweet.

This is highly debatable. A drunk 14 year old boy could get raped by a 25 year old man. Men/boys are less likely to report rape, much less likely than even women, out of shame since men are always told to man up about it.

You'll need to explain yourself a bit there.

@Francis777 you seem like a good guy. Don't be upset. Just don't post too much reactionary stuff.

So a drunk guy's behavior should be excused but a drunk girl's behavior should not?

What do you mean? What did you do to them?

What are you

What a crazy person! Not to OP.

This is such bunk.

Did you practice a particular technique?
