    Potential consequences for rape is all it takes for someone to entirely give up on convictions.

    • One woman alleges that Brand raped her against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day. The Times says it has seen medical records to support this
    • A second woman alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was in his early 30s and she was 16 and still at school. She alleges he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship
    • A third woman claims that Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation
    • The fourth woman alleged being sexually assaulted by Brand and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her

      I didn’t know any of the specifics of the allegations against Brand, but I remember when he did the crazy Jesus pivot I thought “it has to be something to do with kids.” No scumbag flips that abruptly unless they’ve done something really bad.
