Grant Karte sentenced for threatening Joanna Cherry with sexual violence

I can't claim to be very familiar with Scottish politics, but Joanna Cherry is an internationally admired and appreciated defender of women's rights, and got threatened with sexual violence for it like so many others. While it's heartening to see justice served for once, it's depressing to think how few in the SNP, or how few in general will speak to condemn this horrible man's horrible actions. So many would much rather be tearing down other prominent women for saying women's rights are human rights.

@ArabellaScott

Just came here to post this.

Still waiting to hear Sturgeon condemn any of the abuse or threats Cherry has received.

Any day, I'm sure.

Acht you know full well she's too busy being "feminist to her fingertips"!

Why no jail time? Well I know it’s Scotland and he’s a man, and she’s a woman, but all the same...

A MAN who sent threatening Twitter messages to SNP MP Joanna Cherry has been ordered not to contact her for five years.

Grant Karte, 30, has also been given a community payback order, supervised for 15 months, with 160 hours of unpaid work in the community.

I'm also not familiar with how the betting agencies over there work, is it possible to put some money on it? I'd be dithering about whether to go with "never" or "belated, well-couched, and tepid."
