Russel Brand gets ten year s six months

[SilverTarget]

He will serve around Seven years . He will be ok inside because he will pay for protection. A lot of men on the internet think he’s been stitched up by the establishment. I hope this sentence makes Men think twice about their future actions .

@SilverTarget What do you mean by ‘pay for protection’?

So curious about how it will work inside for him. Will he be kind of revered in there as a celeb? Will he be attacked? Will he be a target for sexual assault as he is quite effeminate? Will he be on seg the whole time? What does paying for protection mean, who would you pay and how?

This is the same father who showed porn to his primary school aged son and rented out a prostitute for him at the age of 17. The same father who brought back uncountable women to the house to have sex with while his son stayed in the same house and knew what was going on so it’s really no surprise to hear of his father’s reaction.

Agree, only posted what he was saying!

You can listen to the whole of this on BBC I'm sure or read it online.

Indeed.

Paying to be protected from attack. He will be a target because of his celebrity. I think he will be moved to another prison.

Woah, drawing conclusions about my intellect is uncalled for! What are you on about? Someone speculated up thread a mitigating factor could have been his faith and I’m saying surely not and how awful that would be if it were true. As an ex evangelical his born again shite makes me feel sick.

It’s still only a couple of years per crime though isn’t it? Not nearly long enough IMO

I wonder if any of the woman he offended against will read MN. If you do, I commend you all. How brave to see this process through and I hope you can rest a little easier with this outcome.

The judge did say 2024. I'm sure he made a mistake and should have said 2004.

There are other cases in the pipeline, I think?

This might encourage other women to come forward.🤞

What would an appropriate sentence be in your head?

Katy Perry is already in talks for a publishing deal. I only wonder why she’s waited till now to tell her story when she could have perhaps helped other women by spilling her beans earlier. It’s all rather ugly.

Reported your post @PhoneCase - that was completely uncalled for.

I don't care about your thoughts on his religion. I am making sure you're not spreading misinformation about the sentencing just because you have a personal bias. Some posters might believe what you said because many don't scroll or read the whole thread.

I have no real words .but grabbing someone sexually without permission is assault, i hope he counts every day of his "9 months" of that part of his sentence.

I’m listening to the police say now that the women have paved the way for more to do the same. It’s their bravery has done that.

I actually feel really emotional over this, anyone who knew the types of stuff men got away with back then when some of us were in early twenties just makes me rage. I’m so pleased he’s got ten years. I hope he feels the enormity of it.

Yes but that's always the case.

Eg a guy doing massive scale cocaine dealing but it's his first conviction. Pretty sure that just means he never got caught for the cannabis possession and dealing, cocaine posession and small scale dealing he undoubtedly previously. (No clean living law abiding person goes straight into large scale drug dealing!)

But the courts can only deal in facts so if there's no previous conviction that's what they have to sentence on the basis of. It's highly likely Brand has raped/sexually assaulted on numerous occasions but the courts can only deal with the factual evidence put before it.

Because Russell Brand has access to very good lawyers and is not afraid to slap down an injunction here and a defamation case there.

Separately, it is not on Katy Perry or Katherine Ryan or Shappi Khorsandi to report to the police on behalf of any victim of Brand's. That must be a decision for the victim.

The judge did say 2024.- he meant 2004.

you heard it right. Judge made an error

Then you can refute it politely without personal attacks.

Thanks, headteacher.

Meh. Your post will be deleted when MNHQ reads the report, so you won't have done any good with it, despite your posturing.
