Here’s the long and short of it, I guess: if the Crown Prosecution Service is going to declare Russell Brand a confirmed serial rapist — a depraved sexual predator of monumental proportions — and moreover, if the British media is just going to uniformly echo these charges with barely disguised delight, one would THINK (would one not?) that the factual predicate for such reputation-obliterating, permanent-society-outcasting, long-term-liberty-depriving censure would be 100% absolutely rock-solid.
