Odyssey

These are the details of Russell Brand's rape conviction: - Brand met a fan at one of his gigs in 2009 and invited her backstage - She had a consensual threesome with him - "used her tongue on his anus" "within moments" of meeting him - Days later Brand invited her to his house for sex, she agrees - The Times attacks Brand in 2022 for joining Rumble and becoming a right wing "conspiracy theorist" - The Times and Channel 4 colaborate for a big documentary expose in 2023 - Times says it had the allegations since 2019 but waited until his political shift to release them for some reason - Complainants for his criminal case all come forward after the doc drops, some contacted and encouraged by journalists - Jury concludes the woman 17 years ago consented to everything except anal sex, at which point she was raped - Rape charge is bundled with other sexual assault charges, including him grabbing a woman's breasts (which jury concluded was forced) who then gave him oral sex (which jury found was not forced) Brand now faces anything from 8 to 15 years in jail.
