The arrests of the online influencers known for their misogynistic views come after years of investigations in Britain and Romania. The new charges concern offenses dating back to 2010, officials said.

    I’d rather they get their trial in the states.

    The UK has some bizarrely lenient sentencing for sex crimes. Like months or a couple of years. These chuckle fucks should rot for as long as possible, not only for their crimes but also as a punishment for the damage they’ve done to a generation of boys and young men.

      Not in this case though. What you’re talking about is sexual assault but these two are facing far more than just a few sexual assault charges (not that those aren’t serious either), including kidnap, false imprisonment, human trafficking, and money laundering.

      The concern in sexual assault charges is always the possibility of false accusations. Sadly some people seem to try and use trumped up historical sexual assault accusations against people that they have a vendetta against, and it’s kind of hard for the other party to defend against. How do you prove you didn’t commit a crime 15 years ago when there’s no evidence either way?
