A commentary I wrote on the reality of image-based sexual abuse - and what survivors are living with - was published in the Herald Sun today.

Technology-facilitated abuse is serious sexual harm - and it must be treated as such.

Tech-facilitated abuse is being minimised while women live with the trauma.

Collective Shout campaigner @reneechopping centres the voices of women living with image-based abuse and calls for it to be recognised - and addressed - as serious sexual harm.

More than a year since we first exposed child sex abuse dolls and replica child body parts for sale on the platform, we think it’s been long enough for @amazon to get rid of them.

Sign the petition calling on Amazon CEO @ajassy to take action! https://t.co/9G3qzC7PuI

Petition signer Ami cancelled her Amazon Prime membership in protest, as did her friends.

Send a message to @amazon – cancel your membership and boycott the company until they stop selling child sexual abuse material to predators.

Men are simulating rape on toddler dolls and Amazon is facilitating it.

Product descriptions emphasise their realistic textures – that their use feels “similar to real intercourse” – and provide specifications on the depth of their vaginal, oral and anal orifices.

Some dolls are photographed wearing children’s clothing, with pigtails, holding teddy bears and stuffed animals. Others are overtly marketed as “flat chested”.

Today marks one year since we exposed @amazon selling child sex abuse dolls.

Porn is training today's boys to be tomorrow's sex offenders.

"So many people would have had to have known about Russell Brand. In fact, there were WhatsApp groups warning women on the comedy circuit about his behaviour."

🚨 BREAKING: Russell Brand is under investigation over TWO further rape allegations.

One reportedly involves a woman who was just 16 YEARS OLD when she had a relationship with Brand, then aged 30.

The woman previously spoke out in Channel 4's explosive 2023 investigation.

Police confirm files involving both complainants have been submitted to prosecutors.

'This verdict upholds the vital principle that consent to one thing is not consent to absolutely everything; that women still absolutely have the right to say no, even if they have in the past said yes.'

CSAM offenders often try to deny sexual interest in children to lower their risk assessment.

Haven’t come across this one before - Silvey’s lawyer argued he was interested in child exploitation material but not children. 🤔

Pornography is not mirroring a popular private practice - it is the vector by which sexual strangulation is normalised and spread. And it has reportedly led to the death of a 16-year-old Sydney girl.

My last post on the Russell Brand trial reached nearly a million people, and my replies were immediately flooded with defenders insisting this was all just a coordinated establishment hit job.

Well, week three just concluded at Southwark Crown Court, and the reality has gotten so much worse for anyone trying to defend him.

For the last three years, Brand hid behind a podcast microphone, carefully rebranding himself as a humble, persecuted spiritual outsider. He even got baptized right after the criminal allegations broke to complete the transformation.

Then he actually had to take the witness stand under oath, and the entire manufactured persona collapsed in real time.

When questioned by his own barrister, Brand put on a loud theatrical performance, throwing around words like "badinage" and "loquacious" to charm the jury.

But the moment the prosecution stood up to cross-examine him, the swagger completely evaporated into long, excruciating spells of dead silence.

The prosecution didn't even need outside witnesses to tear him apart. They simply opened his own 2007 memoir and read his own confessions back to his face.

Jurors had to sit there while the court read passages where Brand explicitly wrote that when he wanted a woman, he would "resolutely remove anything that’s in the way, until I possess the object of my desire."

They read his own captions bragging about pretending to be effeminate specifically so women would lower their guard and let him into their hotel rooms.

Think about that for ten seconds. He put the playbook in writing himself.

As the prosecution pointed out in their closing speech, the jury isn't dealing with a media conspiracy. They are looking at six separate women spanning a ten-year timeline between 1999 and 2009.

They didn't know each other. They have no personal or financial benefit to gain, and endless online abuse to endure, by having to sit in a criminal court to describe being assaulted.

You can build an army of online defenders and hide behind sudden spiritual conversions all you want. But when your own published books describe treating women as objects to be possessed at any cost, the enlightened guru act is completely finished.

A year after Pornocracy was published, & every day new horror stories keep breaking: more Pelicot style cases, girls being strangled to unconsciousness, men consumed by porn-fuelled fetishes.

@robjessel16 & I talk about it less now, not because the damage has eased, but because so few seem willing to face it.
