You must be the only one. Great news, well done to those brave women for coming forward.

Lucky you weren’t on the jury then

DaisyMayBojangles · Today 14:51

@IronEverythingI’m interested as to why you say that?

Well, the jury who sat through all of the evidence clearly don't agree.

Do you really? Can I ask why? We haven’t been in court to hear all the evidence. But do you genuinely think it’s likely that multiple women made up something horrific and decided to put themselves through the ordeal of a court trial, risking the wrath of the media and public scrutiny, for no reason? Would you want your daughter / sister/ best friend in a locked room with that man?

This has made my day. Well done those brave women.

Vile comment from @IronEverything
Presumably he/she has been lucky enough to never have been raped or sexually assaulted by a male and had to deal with the horror of the police. Must be nice.

Seems like a big fat set up to me. Like there has been so much wrongdoing amongst celebrities and they just had to convict someone to make it look like something was being done. He was an easy target because of his vast sexual history.

Obviously I wasn't there for the trial so maybe I'd feel differently after hearing it all. But as it stands I don't think he's guilty. Not that my opinion means anything to anyone besides me so not sure why I'm being name called.

Must be nice to be so unaware of how excruciatingly difficult it is to get a man to court at all, nevermind convicted for rape.

The convicted rapists legal team asked the victims why they didn't scream more. Can't relate at all to thinking they seem like the good guys, must be a 'big fat set up'.

Really? He has been described as having a ‘personality change’ behind closed doors.

He wasn't found guilty on all counts, so the jury did think some allegations were false?

I don't, but it's interesting that he could be found guilty of some and not others.

Yes cos that seems entirely likely.

You do?

MidnightPatrol · Today 15:19

I think if you listen to his content from 15+ years ago he… well, it’s a bit of a jimmy saville ‘hiding in plain sight’ situation imo.

His wife seems absolutely brainwashed too.

It would have been a lack of evidence

Indeed. You weren’t there at the trail. Big detail, huge.

Honestly if you're media stream is sending you videos that lets you think that this man was innocent, you need to get off social media.Something has gone very wrong with your algorithms. You will be a prime target for being swept up into bullshit like anti Vaxxer stuff; Reform propoganda etc. It might not have happened yet, but it will do as the algorithm's consensus that you're probably quite susceptible to believing rubbish.
I am not saying this to be a bitch, but i'm saying this because I have seen this happen firsthand and working in an industry that understands how the algorithms work.
