    “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 will be interesting to see how he goes.

          I have found that, nowadays if media exposure gets taken away, a lot of people tend to chill out and drift more left leaning. Right leaning thinking for many tends to require constant nudging to keep people in that camp. So being isolated from that feed might do him some good. It will at least do the world some good.

          I’m not saying, “take away the media and all is well” but there is a section of society that is heavily swayed by it.

            It does sound, though, like you’re saying “take away the propaganda channels and the right will dry up and blow away.”

            That might be true. Nice if so.

            a lot of people aren’t rapists either, regardless of media exposure

              Very true. I don’t expect that drive in him to change much beyond any kind of self introspection. But maybe his divisive rhetoric changes. Or he just become vindictive and it just gets much worse.

              Honestly, I am just sick of talking about Brand. He is a odd manipulative sex pest goblin, goodbye to him.

            The fundamental Christian he was pretending to be don’t treat them any better.

            Kegsbtrath’s pastor thinks if they’re married, they shouldnt vote.

      Those are maximum sentences for Category 1 though, and would be given for extreme cases.

      It looks like Brand was sentenced on a Category 2 rape, which has a starting point of 10y custody.
