I can’t imagine (sadly) the police will proceed with this. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong. He says it’s consensual, he has texts to back this up.
of course anyone sensible knows that with the power disparity she may well have felt unable to say no…..I mean if she did would she lose her house and her job??? I seriously hope he reflects on this but I’d guess he will be resolute in his belief he’s done nothing wrong.

"Tortoise understands that he believes K’s allegations are motivated by her regret over their relationship and that Scarlett was suffering from a condition associated with false memories at the time of her relationship with him, a claim which is not supported by her medical records and medical history."
Wow, if this is true its some epic grade sadistic gaslighting.

Feminist my left foot.
He was amongst the authors who signed a letter saying, amongst other things "To that end, we say: non-binary people are non-binary, trans women are women, trans men are men, trans rights are human rights".
I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if this were true. Gender ideology, Queer Theory, the trampling of boundaries - it's all of a piece.

Using David Tennant as a social lubricant. Wonder how much Tennant knows.

Are you actually suggesting that because someone supports trans rights they are likely to be a sexual predator/ rapist?
Seen it all now.

I listened to the podcast. It is graphic and I am finding it hard to shake off. There were a number of damning revelations (if the basic details weren't enough) like the non-disclosure agreement and also details of another "girlfriend" who had been very young and vulnerable.
I recommend listening if you want an insight into this kind of abusive behaviour. It reminds me of when a teacher grooms a pupil who then thinks they are in a loving relationship. This happened to someone I know and it has taken them years to recognise what happened was abuse.
Hopefully telling the story will help others, now and in the future. It seems unlikely there will be any legal action.
