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 .

Yep, 16 is legal. It shouldn't be though. The age of consent should be raised to 18 IMO,

It would depend what they’ve been put away for I guess. I hope he’s given the most miserable time possible.

He won't be housed in the general population, it'll be the numbers (nonces) wing for old russell. Most of them in there are pathetic, rather than dangerous.
Prisons are full of drugs though, perhaps he'll fall off the wagon.
NA/AA meetings are full of men like brand, on the hunt for vulnerable women to exploit.

Probably overcrowding in prisons! Maybe 'good' behaviour?

No . She's planning a book and documentary about being his victim.

Perhaps by the time he's released, he might have finally found that bible passage he was looking for.

Half of the men that lived in the time and culture that Russell Brands crimes were committed could be had up for the same or similar. May they never know any peace ✌️

Hopefully more come forward and achieve successful convictions because sure as night follows day there will be more.
He's in for a long stay at an Hmp establishment.

I agree with you I guess as they only felt brave to come forward knowing others had the same experience.

I’ve had his crimes happen to me, if I saw these men in the press I would definitely go to the police partly to support the women who has already reported and partly due to safely in numbers.

It’s about risk to society and requirements to protect the public. Higher risk if recently offended.

I am not in any way denying that this happened, but the Mail's headline calling Brand "darling of the left" completely overlooks the Tate, Robinson, Trump connections that Brand fostered once the allegations against him became widely known. He knew full well that these men would support him no matter what. I personally would not describe his fame as becoming "stratospheric" after the Andrew Sachs incident; his notoriety increased hugely, but that is very different from fame. As for Brand i don't think he is genuinely left or right, he just looks at what viewpoint and which people were most likely to support him when the reckoning was on its way. Of course it will be men like Tate, Musk, Robinson etc. Brand is an ammoral grifter who is motivated by satiating his needs and by self preservation

Surely he won't be allowed into USA with a criminal record.

He is trying to put his £5m house into his wife's name in case of compensation claims.

Probably, and Laura or his grotty father will be transferring the money to the inmates partner’s bank account. Won’t stop the kitchen staff gobbing on his food though, or the general bullying - such as shoving him to the back of the phone queue, shredding his prison undies etc. I can envisage him snuggling up to a few old lags, reading their letters to them, bit of fetching and carrying and some of his smart bants. Till they clock he is taking the piss - and in RB’s own words, modified slightly- “Bang - fucked” “Bang - fucked” “Bang - fucked”. Most of the old timers will regard him as a nonce, he won’t like the gym, maybe he’ll convert to Islam as there are certain privileges or suddenly decide he’s female.
At least the first two weeks he’ll spend in the foetal position, trying to drown out the noise and visceral aggression.
Hopefully Laura’s family will get her out of old man Brand’s leathery clutches - he’s going to be keeping his predatory, yellow eyes on Junior’s fortune. If she won’t divorce Russy Wussy for his foul behaviour, perhaps being up close and personal with his smoke-stained, cockroach of a father will encourage her. Albert Steptoe chic is not desirable and RB will be acquiring some even more disgusting habits in chokey.
I hope he goes back to Wandsworth, that jail is the worst of the worst.

He won't have to go there to appear on some big podcasts and be paid $$$

Can I say something and please note I hate brand I am glad he is in jail for a long time .
But someone is pulling strings big time , not only no other rape case was convicted this way but his sentence is extremely high ( and again I’m glad ) in comparison to the norm .
A few years ago as Young barrister my client got 3 years for raping his 3 very young grandchildren over a period of 12 years .
If you look at other rape cases the way this one was judged is really out of the ordinary .
I do wonder if future rape cases , specifically historic ones will have a different outcome from now on .
I also wonder how many other famous folk is now really scared

one of the offences he's been found guilty of was in
2024

it was 2004 I think the Judge mistakenly said 2024 in his Judgement. The last offence he was convicted of was 2009.

There is no conspiracy theory, I don’t know about your case, but I can say statistically speaking rhe average for rape is nine to ten years across England and wales.

I do sometimes think things are getting worse not better. I'm 60s and when I started work there were a lot of the WW2 generation around in the office. The men (who I thought were incredibly ancient but were probably younger than I am now) were respectful and avuncular, the one exception being rather younger than them and he was actually called out by them about his behaviour, not that it stopped him. They wouldn't even swear in front of the women. It perplexes me, TBH.

I hope Brand's victims get some measure of comfort from this verdict and that any others feel supported to come forward.

You're a barrister? In the UK?

I have, but I must I missed your post where you apologised for not understanding what was written and for your unwarranted rudeness to the poster. Funny that.🤔

don’t get me wrong this is great news but how have they secured this conviction? I’m struggling to understand how you can prove a man raped you that long ago? My own sexual abuse is historic and guy long dead but even when alive it wasn’t something I considered possible as I didn’t report at the time

50% is standard off the sentence [lus time off for good behaviour he will do 3-4 years

AA meetings are a hunting ground?
