Owain, you've managed to turn a criminal conviction for RAPE and SEXUAL ASSAULT into a bizarre conspiracy about Christianity, COVID and the establishment. What an absolutely shameful response to the suffering of four women. Let's establish what actually happened. Russell Brand was found GUILTY by a jury of one count of rape and THREE counts of sexual assault. Detectives interviewed over 100 witnesses, gathered more than 400 statements and examined over 1,400 documents. That's an extensive criminal investigation, Owain. Not some imaginary political witch-hunt. And your pathetic attempt to portray this as religious persecution falls apart under the most elementary examination of the timeline. The allegations were publicly reported in SEPTEMBER 2023. Brand was baptised in APRIL 2024. So how exactly was his conversion to Christianity responsible for allegations that were already being publicly investigated before it happened? And this nonsense about the authorities digging up decades-old allegations? There is no general statute of limitations on serious sexual offences in England and Wales. Victims don't lose their right to seek justice because their alleged attacker subsequently finds religion or changes his political opinions. Here's another detail you've conveniently overlooked. The jury ACQUITTED Brand of three other charges. They considered the evidence and delivered different verdicts on different allegations. That's rather inconvenient for your ridiculous assertion that the entire proceeding was simply an exercise in political persecution. And your cries of "TWO-TIER JUSTICE"? Where's your evidence that Brand was prosecuted because of his opinions about COVID, rather than because women reported serious sexual offences and prosecutors brought a case supported by evidence? You haven't provided any. You've decided that someone who challenges the establishment must be innocent, regardless of what a jury concludes. And what an astonishingly convenient moral framework that is. Apparently, finding Jesus and criticising government policy should somehow provide immunity from accountability for serious criminal conduct. It doesn't, Owain. Brand was not convicted of questioning COVID policy. He was not convicted of becoming a Christian. He was convicted of RAPE and SEXUAL ASSAULT. Four women came forward. A jury examined the evidence and found him guilty. Yet your immediate reaction is to declare the convicted man a victim of persecution while barely acknowledging the actual victims. Perhaps spare a thought for those women before turning their ordeal into another fucking political conspiracy theory. Because accountability for sexual violence isn't religious persecution. And a criminal conviction doesn't become "two-tier justice" simply because you happen to admire the defendant.
