> And even as such, had no complaints against him who bothered to go to the police and file/sue, not even at the height of me-too.

From the article:

> One woman alleges that Brand raped her without a condom against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She says Brand tried to stop her leaving until she told him she was going to the bathroom. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, which the Times says it has confirmed via medical records

Is that not a "complaint against him who bothered to go to the police"?



Since no police was involved, yes.

Such a center is not the same as the police (which would be corroborating the story, running lab tests, bringing the alleged perpetrator in for questioning, and so on).
