I found this after a little bit

He raped Pieke Roelofs (who collaborated with him on youtube) and harrassed her to cover it up. He was even too shitty for reddit mods

The Dutch authorities found him responsible but declined to charge him

Roelofs founded Stichting Cassandra, a foundation that defends the interests of victims of sexual and psychological violence

Yeah I don't really feel like watching his video now, probably shouldn't take life/self reflection advice from someone who does that kinda shit

A couple years ago he was accused of sexual assault iirc and he and a bunch of his fans did everything possible to sweep it under the rug basically

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

After some digging, it looks like he was accused but never charged

The police bungled the case (along with a bunch of other similar cases) so they never brought charges against him or a lot of other people.

Pretty shitty though that the police came out and said he was responsible and didn't bring charges. If they're confident enough to make a statement like that then they should be confident enough to charge someone.

I'm in the camp of "innocent until proven guilty" so even though there's an accusation I'm still not going to fully dump the dude

Edit to elaborate further: Basically I think the police were wrong to say that he was responsible if they're not confident enough to bring charges and have him face a court of law. If they're going to say what they said they should have charged him, by not doing so it really seems like they're banking on the, "He's a public figure so it's harder for him to prove defamation."
