I liked him enough to buy My Booky Wook, his autobiography. It details several times he refused to take no for an answer, including one really creepy instance where he goes into great detail about persuading a girl who verbalized that she didn't want sex into taking her clothes off and eventually having sex. I don't read many autobiographies but it's the only one that made me actually lose every single bit of respect for the writer.

Prosecutor at his trial is going to have the easiest payday, he even mentions stuff like that in his standup routines.

Seconded. Used to like him, found him genuine. Not so much anymore.
