Rape really needs to be up there with murder. He’s a serial rapist, he shouldn’t be getting out. he’ll just go back to abusing when he’s out.
Making rape punishment equal to that for murder makes killing rape victims a most logical choice for any rapist. Justice system must be proportional and not based on emotions alone to be effective.
I get the theory, but it doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, it’s never been positivity shown that legislation effects criminal behavior to that extent, most criminals think ‘‘I’ll never get caught’’ not ‘‘I can stomach the punishment’’
It’s a little light for the charges but hopefully he gets more when the other cases go to trial.
What do you call a serial rapist getting ten and a half years?
A GOOD START.
My got the Wikipedia section on the incidents (a life times worth of offending, and it being an open secret at the BBC that he was a known predator) was exhausting.
Luckily this was also in there too:
In the days following his charges, Brand was “indefinitely” suspended from his role as an ambassador for the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital charity[239] and dropped as a celebrity spokesperson for the American Catholic meditation and prayer app Hallow.[240]
Tiggywinkles
I do love the sheer percentage of British things that scream “WE ARE BRITISH” by their very name.
Beady-eyed fuck
