Well. It's rare for a man charged with rape to be convicted. It's rarer still when he's famous. But that does seem to be what's happened. The creaky, broken, twisted old British justice system would seem to have worked, for once.

For the women who had the guts to speak out, and to put themselves on the line to nail him, it must be a good moment.

Same for the coppers who put the case together, and the lawyers who prosecuted it. It is *very* hard to get a conviction on a rape charge. To get it, they must have done one hell of a job.

Also, spare a thought for the poor bastard who is now going to have to share a cell with Russell Brand, the rapist. May he rot.
