The men on this list have either been convicted of a crime or have alleged to have committed a criminal offence of domestic and sexual violence and abuse including but not limited to sexual harassment, domestic violence, rape and femicide. Many of these men have a history of other forms of violence as well as alcohol and drug abuse. This is not an exhaustive list as I am adding more names every day.
The original plan was to list only those men for whom allegations had become public in the immediate aftermath of Rowan Farrow’s expose of Harvey Weinstein’s crimes. However, it soon became clear that it was a false dichotomy. Part of the reason for including men like Charlie Chaplin and Roman Polanski, whose crimes go back decades, is to show just how ubiquitous this level of entitlement is and just how many men are perpetrators – men who did not suddenly become perpetrators when named in the press. We talk about Harvey Weinstein as though it was a watershed point. The simple truth is the complete opposite. These ‘watershed’ moments are continuous and constant. We need to keep pushing back on the silencing of women and children. And, we need to stop pretending that naming Weinstein will change everything. We have been here before and it hasn’t. This isn’t to say we shouldn’t fight back. We must. Otherwise the abuse will still continue – unnamed because we already ‘solved’ it.
Owing to wide range of legal terminally in various jurisdictions, I have used the term domestic violence to include crimes covered by the following term: domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, coercive control, battery, and domestic battery. I have chosen not to include an ‘all encompassing’ term for sexualised violence and have used sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape. The laws around consent and young people has changed drastically in the last 40 year due to feminist activism. As such, there are many male musicians who would now be charged with sexual exploitation, assault or rape of a minor. These are listed under allegations even i the perpetrator has admitted to the act. For the purpose of this research, we are using child sexual exploitation for any child under the age of 16.
