"How Dare You Resist!"

Something rapists probably say. But it's not just confined to them, is it?
Channel 4 is facing the wrath of female stars and staff...

Oh, what now? 

...for giving the actor Noel Clarke airtime to plead his innocence over groping claims by 20 women.
Employees at the network fear a Channel 4 documentary with the former Doctor Who star will allow him to seek sympathy and question why the public turned against him after the allegations.

You mean he should just lie there and take it, ladies? 

Women working across the entertainment industry are also incensed, with one well-known female star describing the planned show as 'an insult to every woman treated so appallingly by this man'.

Aren't you missing the word 'allegedly' there? He hasn't, after all, been convicted of anything. And he may never be...

Clarke, 46, is also believed to have sought the advice of an expert in reputational damage in an effort to navigate a successful comeback to the entertainment world.

Aha, that's the real issue for these malicious bitches - the idea that once they've cast their runes, he might escape his fate after all.

He's going to 'question why the public turned against him'... yeah, I think I can take a wild shot in the dark what his answer will be.

Now you see I have little difficulty in believing he is an utter sleazeball who used his position to take advantage of women and relied upon his status as a high profile member of his race to avoid being called on it for so long. But his accusers were allowed the space to tell their stories. It seems only right and proper that he is afforded the same. We can then judge with an even fuller picture, one way or the other.

Me too!

"... I have little difficulty in believing he is an utter sleazeball who used his position to take advantage of women..."

Undoubtedly! But even scoundrels should have a right to a defence...
