>He was a self-confessed sex-addict and drug-addict over many years in that 90s-00s period
And even as such, had no complaints against him who bothered to go to the police and file/sue, not even at the height of me-too.
Then only things I've read are things like "he make lewd comments".
Then, on 2019 (? and they release now?) they get anonymous accusations, and even those to the press, not the police (the police merely says they are aware of "media reporting of a series of allegations"), from what the news say, for things that cannot be really verified aside from he-said/she-said anymore over 10 or 15 years after.
>He may well have some crimes to answer for: drugs were, and continue to be, illegal in the UK
Well, if he was investigated (by the police, not the press, like now) for drug use that would be relevant (even though still suspicious due to the timing and the focus on some individual where close to a million people use illegal drugs in the UK every day).
>It is only after a few years of criticizing the MSM and government overreach that someone has decided to dig up those old potential offences
And also where he's a nice "thought crime" target for all mainstream media types.
> One woman alleges that Brand raped her without a condom against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She says Brand tried to stop her leaving until she told him she was going to the bathroom. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, which the Times says it has confirmed via medical records
Is that not a "complaint against him who bothered to go to the police"?
Such a center is not the same as the police (which would be corroborating the story, running lab tests, bringing the alleged perpetrator in for questioning, and so on).
Dunnow, being cracked out your mind and chasing your ex around your locked bedroom when she's asked to leave, mounting and grinding here, all while your naked is a bit a much ?
And even as such, had no complaints against him who bothered to go to the police and file/sue, not even at the height of me-too.
