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
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.
He must be broke
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.
He’s not allowed to cast pods in there, is he?
Good riddance m8
Lou Sanders win
This guy wasn’t already a convicted sex offender? This just now happened!?
Bro, I’m mandela effecting hard right now lmao.
The onion is the new xkcd.
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.
What do you call a serial rapist getting ten and a half years?
A GOOD START.
There’s already two more women who have come forward, and more are being encouraged to as well, so you got this right
yeah, exactly what I was meaning to reference. I mean, who knows, maybe these were the only incidents and he’s completely innocent of all the others.
…seems extremely unlikely, though
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 was more meaning that there are other cases coming. But yeah, the sentence seems… sentencing is difficult. Can any time truly make up for violent crimes? But yet there must be serious consequences.
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.
“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
He got 10 more years than the epstein pedogang though.
With Brand’s history and lifestyle, 10 years night still be a life sentence.
Being a high profile sex offender in a jail 18 months could turn out to be a life sentence
There are rumours that he already has a fan club in jail and cowers his way into the mess hall and back to his cell every day.
just imagine how many religions he can get into now
He probably won’t serve all ten years, assuming good behavior
7 years then the British equivalent of parole. It’s in the article.
There’s a first time for everything!
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.
He has his own brand of shirts??
Times like this, it’s good to know what’s important.
It’s a little light for the charges but hopefully he gets more when the other cases go to trial.
