this is evidence 101 and you might want to consider how prosecutors might use prior bad acts to railroad defendants.

Weinstein is scum and belongs in prison, but no, it isn't always fucked up and arbitrary.

Appeals courts overturn the convictions of undoubtable scumbags because of unfair trials pretty frequently

you know how your rapist president and your other rapist president (no not that one, the other one) collaborated in the biggest ever expansion in prison populations and how hundreds of thousands of mostly non white people are still serving time and providing free labour and often being raped because of alleged petty crimes?

but due process and sufficient evidence is obviously very important now when someone more like bill clinton is in trouble and it's worth retraumatising his victims in order to prove a point about american justice or something

I don't have a clue about what legal procedures are necessary for doing this or that but in light of the above that shouldn't be the point the point should be the burn whole thing down, death to patriarchy, death to america, and so on

two weeks pass...

More allegations against Dan Schneider, this time from Lori Beth Denberg.

https://consequence.net/2024/05/lori-beth-denberg-dan-schneider/

Schneider was head writer on All That throughout the four seasons in which Denberg appeared, and the interview with Business Insider details an alleged event shortly after Denberg’s 19th birthday in which Schneider asked for a meeting, then began showing the actress clips of pornography on his computer. Denberg claimed that the “grand finale” of footage showed a woman performing oral sex on a donkey.
