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 .

It'll all be arranged before he goes inside. He'll be approached and offered protection for money. He will transfer and arrange regular payments while he's inside via a third party, I assume.
He will also pay prison officers etc again all through a third party.

Usually the sex offenders are at high risk so will get to shower at different times.

I really hope someone gets transferred in to rough him up.

We have no idea if he’s offended since. I highly anticipate allegations that have happened since and wouldn’t be at all surprised if some since he’s been married

There is a chance that he will be charged with further offences, including rape. If that’s the case and he is convicted again, the “no previous convictions mitigation” will not apply in that scenario.

8 men were on his jury. Brand must’ve thought he had a good chance that at least some of them would see him as “a naughty boy”. But they all saw him for the rapist that he is.

He might be ok in prison. He might not. I don’t care. I do care that some women were not believed. That some women still haven’t been listened to and seen justice for what he did.

One less rapist off our streets.

Exactly so I thought we would be over this by now but we very much are not and in some ways I think it has got worse. and yes my girls call them out when they are able to but every single day you just dont have the energy to stop and tell some hairy arsed man to stop behaving like a sex offender. and also, you dont always feel safe when there is a group of them. I despair, I really really do. what is going to make this stop? longer sentances, sackings? I think my girls should wear bodycams and give the evidence to the police and put it on social media but then again why should it be up to them all the time?

worth repeating.

Oh so he'll be out in time to make millions more on the US Right Wing 'Christian' grift circuit with his tale of woe about about how the Lefty British Establishment punished him for speaking The Truth, but God got him through it 🙄

That is true but it's not really relevant to my argument nor is it a competition of which set of kids are more sympathetic sex-abuse victims. A lot of girls who are sexually abused go on to repeat harmful sexual behaviours but they tend to be more harmful to themselves than others whereas boys behaviour has more potential to cause harm to others. This is the case for non sexual issues too where boys are more likely to extrenalise and girls internalise. We can debate the causes of that difference societal vs biological or (for my money) an interaction of both but the point remains that girls would be safer if boys were safer too.

He was famous from 2001 on MTV but went Stratospheric after the Andrew Sachs call in 2008. Not least because he retailiated after the Daily Mails initial bluster by reminding the his fans that the Mail backed the Blackshirts.

After 2010 Ed Milliband as then leader of the opposition agreed to go on his trews podcast. He didn't have to. He absolutely didn't have to. But he was seen as the voice of youth, and loads of commenteriat (there's already dissection of Owen Jones elsewhere) remained devoted until the 2020s and his explicit pivot.

I’ve heard men say he has been hunted and it’s taken it too far. One conviction out of how many getting away with it and the men start crying. Unreal.

What is your point?

He will probably be approached by another prisoner. Yes this is a real thing . Contacts on the outside .

I couldn't agree more, Eastern. I think a lot of women will be feeling the same today.

I doubt very much he will be ok inside paying for protection, the prison estate isn't like real life and his money and fame will make him more of a target. If someone is already doing life, a little bit notoriety is entertainment when you don't have a lot to lose. RB will be isolated from the prison population for 23hrs a day, but who do you think will be bringing him meals, mingling in exercise areas? RB won't be able to talk his way out of it and hopefully more victims will feel able to come forward and the sentence will get extended.

I find it a huge coincidence that both exes - Jemima Khan and Katy Perry have shady stories about them now and haven’t spoken out about Brand (yet). Jemima being involved with the masseuse who can’t speak due to the injunction. Now stories about Katy. Maybe Laura is in to the shady shit too.

Me too. Hearing what he did to the poor woman he was convicted of raping made me feel physically sick. So brave of her to give that evidence.

Thanks for posting this - good to be able to read the judgement in full.

He's a predator. There'll be more allegations.

He (allegedly) did awful things to a 16 year old. I really hope that case gets to court.

I doubt very much he will be ok inside paying for protection, the prison estate isn't like real life and his money and fame will make him more of a target.

Quite. Fame and money didn't help Ian Watkins.

About right.

I am a bit annoyed though in some ways, that it's only famous men who get put away for these crimes (and quite rightly so,) as there are plenty of men I have known in my life who are sex pests, who groped and tried it on and leched at and sexually assaulted many women. Men in power at work, and men in the neighbourhood, and family friends and so on.

Shame all men who have been sex pests can't be held accountable and tried in a court, and put away for it, but it would take all the women coming forward for this to happen. And as a sexual assault/rape trial can be extremely traumatising, (for the victim,) many women choose to keep quiet about it.... Because of their fear of the trial, and not being believed. It's utterly tragic.

.

He won't need to pay any protection money, he'll be kept among his own kind.

Good so they should be. Only a fraction of the anxiety and trauma they have inflicted on women they care Nothing about
im delighted

Just Google it.

Also the 2 brave female journalists that broke the story In 2023! They spent 4 years working on it, and there was much resistance along the way. That documentary created the conditions for these brave women to take this to trial, and now it's gone up a gear and I hope many more come forward, and are given a voice.

I didn’t know this. Poor girl. I know 16 is ‘legal’. But 16 is still a child. And I wonder what the prison population would make of that.
