I think I remember reading he was basically released awaiting trial. I had honestly given up on seeing any justice in this case, so this is a positive development.

The UK now? Splendid. It was otherwise not a great day for me but things are looking up.

"First officer's log, supplemental. It was only 9 am and I already had to get out my trombone. Also, those twins in Stellar Cartography promised to stop by my quarters later. Things are looking up for Commander Riker! And also little Ensign Riker, if you know what I mean, computer."

Riker would 100% have already promoted his dick to at least lieutenant

First the IL-76 plane crashes in Russia, then the Russian liberation force destroys a couple of BMPs inside of Russia and occupy a town and now this? What a wonderful day, thank you Universe.

Elon must be big mad today.

I’m curious about the specific charges facing these assholes. What is the legal definition of “sexual aggression?” I don’t see aggression defined in the UK’s sexual assault laws. Is that a Romanian thing?

My guess is a mistranslation of "sexual assault" going from English to Romanian and back.

That would make sense. That’s not a word that shows up in UK law from what I can tell, but the press are all over it. When you search for the term, you get a billion Andre Tate stories, and no much else.

Seems like a bad translation, then lazy journalism maybe?

Good for him. Prisons are filled with Alpha Males, not betas or stupid women.

Not news.... Please, stop making stupid people famous. Or at least, stop writing about them...

They're stupid, but also dangerously influential. They're important people to keep an eye on. This is news.

He’s targeted young men with his message of materialism and misogyny.

According to an article or two, social media deliberately sends material created by these "influencers" to teenagers. So, to answer your question, teenagers.

I had never heard of this dude before he was arrested. But do you know who had? My thirteen year old daughter. I'm cool with the current turn of events.

While I agree and also complain about this, I draw the exception at reporting when justice is being served. Good god, what a way to start the day!

Sexual aggression is illegal in the UK? That sounds pretty boring, ngl.

Totally unrelated but your username was the longest ingredient I could find on a shampoo bottle as a child and I tried to figure out how to say it on my own and still couldn't tell you if I'm actually pronouncing it correctly. I'm so happy it made an impression on somebody else hahaha

You know, it's probably my favorite thing of the day that I got to see two people bond over the longest ingredient from the back of a shampoo bottle they read as a kid. And it was a pretty good day.

He seems to be ignorant, and you seem to be petty 😏
