Szilvia Berki was unable to even go to the police to report her sexual assault unless she herself wanted to end up in jail.

Brand and his than partner Jemima Goldsmith claimed she caused them anxiety and distress.

She never went to a full trial - only a summary judgment, never had a lawyer, never got to defend herself and was silenced for life

The article said she eventually did get a pro-bono lawyer.

And also that the assault remains "alleged".

Bears allegedly shit in the woods. I've never seen one do it myself.
