Russell Brand stands accused

Innocent until proven guilty, of course, but the accusations are that, years ago, a much more libertine Russell Brand groomed young people and committed sexual assault, including rape. Russell Brand was a wild child himself during his younger days, and I didn't like him very much. He's still got at least one foot in the postmodernist camp, prompting him to quote PoMo "philosophers" like Baudrillard. So even now, with his seeming metanoia, I've never been quite on board with him. But as Ryan points out in the video below, the timing of these new accusations is rather suspicious. One gets the impression that someone wants to piggyback on Brand's fame, to attempt an Amber Heard, so to speak. I don't think this is going to end well for the accuser, whom Brand could possibly sue assuming he's proven innocent. So far, these are only accusations: Brand hasn't been formally charged with anything.
