    If you watched the piece, there is video evidence of him being a disgusting piece of shit regardless. There was footage of him forcefully kissing a presenter and undoing her bra. The police failed to investigate. These women were failed by lazy, misogynistic police, just like they always are.

    To top it off, slander laws in the UK are very strict, no one is going to post accusations like this without serious evidence to back themselves up.

      When the evidence presents itself I will make my judgement.

      no one is going to post accusations like this without serious evidence to back themselves up.

      This is quite the statement to make. I argue that accusations like this get posted all the time without serious evidence to back it up. I will wait for the evidence to come out of him raping someone before I make a judgement in either direction.
