"Under English law, the maximum sentence for rape is life imprisonment, and 10 years for one count of sexual assault, according to Britain’s sentencing council."
This guy got basically sentenced for one + half a year of the 3 assaults and not caunting the 1 rape
What do you call a serial rapist getting ten and a half years?
A GOOD START.
Good, one more rapey, creepy, rich cunt not walking the streets. Now if only the US would start doing the same things to our rich, rapey cunts. We should start with the orange molester in chief.
It's a little light for the charges but hopefully he gets more when the other cases go to trial.
If you're feeling upset about the length of the sentence, think about where you were ten years ago and you'll quickly realize that ten years go by very slowly. That's a huge chunk of life when you really think about it. It's only the number itself that looks small
There's something to say about the fact he will be only 61 when he gets out, though. It does give one anxiety, doesn't it? It's not like he'll be old and frail
My got the Wikipedia section on the incidents (a life times worth of offending, and it being an open secret at the BBC that he was a known predator) was exhausting.
Luckily this was also in there too:
In the days following his charges, Brand was "indefinitely" suspended from his role as an ambassador for the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital charity[239] and dropped as a celebrity spokesperson for the American Catholic meditation and prayer app Hallow.[240]
Good riddance m8
This guy wasn't already a convicted sex offender? This just now happened!?
Bro, I'm mandela effecting hard right now lmao.
I guess lots of time to write My Prissy Wizz
Not rich enough to be immune from punishment. Git gud.
All he had to do was add his name onto the Epstein files to get away with it.
Rape really needs to be up there with murder. He's a serial rapist, he shouldn't be getting out. he'll just go back to abusing when he's out.
edit for the people attacking me on this:
longer sentencing on rape and sexual abuse, less access to parole and bail for rapists and sexual abusers has never been shown to increase the rate of murder, murdering a rape victim doesn't help a rapist avoid detection, 90% of rapists target people they know well and can be easily linked to by police, a dead body is a much bigger problem than a rape accusation. and again, legislation changing sentencing has taken place in many places where I live in California this has happened repeatedly, once in the 80's and once more recently at the least, and neither instance has led to an increase in murder rates, or the pattern of behavior of rapists or sexual abusers changing to include murder. they still target people they know and can gain power or authority over and abuse them and pressure them to be silent, not murder them. this theory that longer sentencing will make all rape become murder doesn't make sense and hasn't happened when sentences increased in the past
Methinks that the only time we're gonna hear about this guy from now on is in "What celebrity destroyed their reputation the most" posts.
I wasn't following closely, but this is a positive thing. The sentencing is light. Now do more celebs!
I like that the wikipedia infobox has the criminal info already!
He's not allowed to cast pods in there, is he?
Lou Sanders win
Beady-eyed fuck
Crap. I have several Russell brand shirts / sportsware. Guess donation centers are going to see a real swell of this stuff.
And the Epstein gang sentences a sexual predator.
He's to serve 2/3rds and then be released on license.
He must be broke
My roommate used to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshal once a week
That's it?
Unacceptable.
Here's hoping he's at least put in a real prison
