I agree that Brighton is the wrong place for this sort of thing. A tour of shopping centres in economically depressed areas would have been more appropriate, perhaps with some third-tier 90s boy/girl band most people have forgotten.

    ‘city’s well-renowned values' Which Brighton is she thinking of? I do like this 90s christian outrage throwback though.

    This is not because of his view on Christianity but because he's accused of serious sexual assaults. Christian or not, that's not cool.

    Tough line to draw really.

    The legal system is built on "innocent until proven guilty", so it's understandable why entire careers aren't brought to a halt because of one or more allegations of misconduct.

    Problem is, how do we let that continue while listening to complainants, making them feel heard, and safeguarding future potential victims?

    I'm not asking you in particular, you're just the comment I've replied to - it's one of those impossible situations to draw a line in the sand without fucking over one of the sides.

    We trap their souls in a time cube at accusation, allow them to do what they want until trial, and after the trial if the verdict is guilty we activate the cube which will bring them back to the accusation time and they can be shunned accordingly. There is no flaw in this plan. Except, of course, for the Time Slime.

    Any children born during initial interim period are sold off upon a guilty verdict to rich Time Oligarchs such as the The Doctor, as fodder for their endless pointless pursuits and conquests.
