These criminal trials regarding the consensually of intercourse from 20 years ago are so insane
My working theory is it’s simply to drive down fertility rates by making consensual sexual encounters an open legal question, and they were just made examples of to drive the new arrangement into the heads of the public
Why these two specifically though, and Weinstein and such? Perhaps they pissed off the wrong people

Rape and sexual assault weren't investigated or prosecuted hard unless there was substantial evidence, which meant a lot of women with legitimate claims were ignored or brushed under the rug. And cases on the line or skeezy but not illegal were snickered at. Look at how Lewinsky was treated by the media and Epstein was treated by his social circle in the 90s versus today.
Since then there's been a massive overcorrection, which is often what happens when things change. Also Brand being a celebrity whose star has faded factors in. This happens a lot with celebs and powerful people. Just look at Weinstein.
