Mind you, he had been deserted by his PR and legal team (along with just about anyone else who knew him)...
I wonder if he's picked his toys and dummy up yet?

I suspect the criminal prosecution will need his energy and resources more.

This article predicts it will get worse for him.
I predict his last defence will be to somehow claim racism and discrimination from the Canadian media for casting him to the gutter.

If it was consensual, it's none of our business.
If it wasn't, he should be hanged. He might like that.
It matters little if he is guilty of a crime or not. His career is pretty much screwed.

Probably old hat, but did I read somewhere he's from Hounslow?

5 criminal charges.
They are also advertising an investigative journalism show "The Fifth Estate" on his fall from grace. This Friday at 9pm apparently. I'll most likely be at the pub in truth.
