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 .

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.

Not claiming a conspiracy theory just saying this case is out of the ordinary in many ways . I’m glad he got this conviction .

I kinda hope he gets some prison justice and told to clean up his mess.....

Still, it's still more than some rapists get and it's not over yet. As we know, 2 more women have come forward, there may be more.

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

The jury has looked at the evidence provided. The offences where he was found not guilty were ones where the prosecution was unable to prove he committed them beyond reasonable doubt.

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

The judge stated: “the total sentence is one of 10 years 6 months. The few
days you have already served will count. You will serve two thirds of that sentence.”

I watched this too. I didn’t really understand it though, since one of the offences he’s been found guilty of was in 2024. It’s hardly a life of good behaviour after an isolated incident, is it?

@QuornNugget2024 was an error in the judge's reading of his notes. It was 2004.

Judge said that he must serve 3/4. Unless I misunderstood that meaning?

That where txt messages and that would have been a great help . This being said I do wonder if his case will be used as a precedent from now onwards .

I don't think he's been stitched up. I think he done that himself as do others, by suddenly finding God when he needed to.

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.

Hope for anywhere but Wandsworth please

The staff don't need that on top of everything else

No you’re wrong, he will do two thirds minimum, and he may not get parole anyway

Hope he doesn't get a cushy job in the laundry or library
