A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "Following an investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times in September 2023, the Met received a number of reports of sexual offences from women in London and elsewhere in the country.

"A file of evidence has now been passed to the CPS for their consideration.

"As part of the investigation, a man in his 40s has been interviewed by officers under caution on three separate occasions.

"These interviews related to a number of non-recent sexual offences which are alleged to have taken place both in and outside of London.

For the Americans passing through, CPS does not stand for Child Protective Services.

It's the Crown Prosecution Service, and Crown means the Government in this case.

Yeah, I was wondering ... wtf Russell!

He has some limits I guess

Given TV personalities recent convictions that's kind of actually good going.

He hung out with Diddy. Don't be too confident about that.

Oh, wow, genuine thanks because that is absolutely what I thought 😬

edit: ...and was also not at all surprised...

It’s always the ones you most suspect

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Well I for one am shocked. Not that he's accused of SA, but that he might actually be finally facing consequences

But I heard he loves Jesus now, so I guess it's alright.

Catholic priests have entered the chat.

That title's a master-class in passive voice

[-] ComradeLove@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Crystal thing he sells obviously doesn't work.

What does "historical" mean in this headline? That they happened in the past?

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Some of his crimes were in ancient Greece.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Yup, and likely not the recent past, say ten years plus

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

How much time does it have to be before it becomes history rather than just the past. When does history start?

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

20 years, for a more serious answer.

I found it frustrating at school when my history teacher finished at Afghanistan, with no discussion on how it related to the current situation.

History starts with the written word, it ends if Trump becomes president.

That's the most sex offender looking MF I have ever seen
