    In Austria and Germany (as far as I’m aware, I’m not a lawyer) when it’s criminal charges the state sues

    To follow on from my previous comment… I’m sure you’ve seen multiple cases in your own country where the police / courts decline to charge or prosecute someone based on lack of physical evidence

      True, we also have the whole Rammstein issue at the moment (But that’s even more complicated, as the girls were all adults and consented to it at first).

      I’m not sure what the recording laws in Canada are, LTT has a hundred cameras around every day and Madison wrote she got regularly assaulted. If it’s legal there I’d film myself to have proof.

      Overall I just don’t like the timing, the drama was a year ago and now that other (more objective drama) gets brought up Madison unpacks everything and piles it on top? She was already in public back then and it’s bullshit that she believes the employer handbook would be an NDA covering sexual assault allegations (like Linus himself wrote back then, no NDA can do that in Canada). The other stuff in the post? Totally fine, that’s criticizing internal processes. But mixed right in there are serious criminal allegations.
