R**e jokes are a manifestation of r**e culture and shows how prevalent the mindset of male dominance and misogyny is.

A comedian who criticises jokes that are built on shock value, but makes jokes about victims of r**e, is not a comedian, but a wind tunnel for a ra**st mentality.

There is no excuse for normalising r**e, or making victims lives into a joke for a show.
Victims deserve better.

“We welcome the sentencing today and the bravery that it takes to come forward and report sexual violence, especially when your abuser is a public figure.

This is a rare example of justice in Northern Ireland when it comes to sexual violence and assault, work needs to be done urgently to make reporting sexual crimes a less traumatic experience, and to ensure more cases make it to trial.

When a verdict is given, the harm and trauma does not stop for victims and families, it is important to remember the strength and courage it takes to get here.”
