    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.

    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.

      There’s already two more women who have come forward, and more are being encouraged to as well, so you got this right

      Honestly 10 years feels like roughly the right amount of time, assuming it’s actually 10 years in prison and not 18 months in a celebrity daycamp.

      People change a lot in prison. Even a year or two. 10 years of prison later he will be a very very very different person, and I don’t think an additional 5+ years would really make much of a difference.

        I was reading that in the UK this translates to 5 years before being eligible for parole.

        Which is still a lot for someone who is used to the lifestyle / comfort that Brand had.

        I personally feel like 10 full years in prison isn’t enough, but I’m not a judge. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      I’m surprised it is that much. I know someone who went down for rape with someone under age and sexual misconduct with someone else underage and he got 6 years. Probably serve 4 years I guess, for permanently destroying two peoples’ lives. Ridiculous.

    Crap. I have several Russell brand shirts / sportsware. Guess donation centers are going to see a real swell of this stuff.

      I bought his Booky Wook when I was 19. Still got it. I know there’s a word for owning items related to a criminal, but I can’t remember it right now. Makes you feel like one of those true crime enthusiasts who have a collection of Jeffrey Dahmer’s letters or something

      Maybe I should put it in a glass case and watch guests gasp and stare at it with morbid curiosity

      I think they literally showed a page from the book in the trial. Wild.

    “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

    It’s a little light for the charges but hopefully he gets more when the other cases go to trial.

    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]

      What makes you think he won’t? Hes already been placed in solitary because the other inmates would eat him alive if he wasnt.
