No CCTV evidence of possible assault and abuse
No forensic evidence- This is the most important part of any such investigation
No audio or photographic evidence
The alleged offences were committed many years ago and by definition the collection of any type of evidence is something that seems almost impossible at this point.
Unless there is serious evidence and a court of law with judge and jury deciding then what is presented until now can't do much.

We're talking about the kind of evidence presented and it doesn't seem to be anything that can convict someone of sexual assaults or rape.
So you decided to watch the docoumentary then, and have seen the phone messages for yourself?

Do you create CCTV of rape victims and abuse?
If not then why should Brand as that would indeed be unsurmountable evidence.

I think you might be rather wrong on that score.
No audio or photographic evidence
Now we know you are wrong and so would you if you had bothered to watch the documentary or accept the evidence you have been shown now time and time again.

Yawn, again there is no statute of limitations where serious sexual offenses are concerned here in the UK, how many times???

Stop moving goalposts and just watch the documentary.
Oh aye and now this.

"It's scary to even think someone can be convicted only on the basis of testimonials.
Either there is something wrong with the defense given by the defense team or there is something wrong with the system or both."
Eh?
He hasn't even been charged, yet, if he even will be.
The Police and CPS would have to decide if there is sufficient evidence to do so.
And said evidence will not just be a TV program.
Is that too hard to understand?
Major crime figures were among over 800 Europe-wide arrests after messages on EncroChat were intercepted and decoded.
In 2019, a man was convicted of rape after attacking an intoxicated woman who had become separated from her friends after being refused entry to a nightclub.
The call and message log helped prosecutors piece together the sequence of events including when she joined the group and when she was isolated by the offender.
I am not the one who moves goalposts btw.
Do you have DNA evidence? Any other forensic evidence?
CCTV evidence?
Photographic evidence?
Audio evidence?
If you claim that some text message with Brand apologising for something is evidence of sexual assault or rape you have moved the bar way too high.
So I will say again

You are also not one who's ever willing to watch the documentary where the allegations and evidence have been presented.
Do you have DNA evidence? Any other forensic evidence?
Remember the claim of the woman that went to the rape crisis center in 2012
Obviously, not coz you did not watch the documentary.
What are you going to say if it turns out they documented or gathered some kind of forensic evidence?
CCTV evidence?
Photographic evidence?
Audio evidence?
Yadda, yadda, yadda. LoL
If you claim that some text message with Brand apologising for something is evidence of sexual assault or rape you have moved the bar way too high.
I would take that one up with the CPS should they choose to present the txts as corroborating evidence.
So I will say again

I wonder if Brand is quite so self-assured.
What you say doesn't matter what does matter is what the victims will say to the Police.
And how the CPS chooses to proceed based on the witness testimony and evidence.
And the band played on.

Asmod...I mean Alienborg.
You seem to want to keep repeating the same denials?
Phone messages are used as evidence to prove a crime has been commited, it's called Digital forensics, time to join the 21st century.
Posted as an example..
Hundreds arrested after messages cracked
Major crime figures were among over 800 Europe-wide arrests after messages on EncroChat were intercepted and decoded.

What I find extraordinary is hoe easy someone is convicted in the social media and how easy conclusions are made about how guilty they are. It's just unbelievable.
Was it Cliff Richard that was found guilty in the media but innocent in the court of law?

Yes, they can lie. So can anyone under Oath.
So what do you suggest, we don't bother to prosecute anyone based on witness evidence?
For God's sake, he's not even been Charged?
