By all accounts, others are coming forward, he'll be on trial again, he'll be in his 70's by the time he tastes freedom again. |
Whether or not it should be the case, I would imagine future convictions might be a little easier to come by now that any future jury will be fully aware that he has form. |  |

I just heard some of the judgement on the car radio - the stuff about what he did to that women post rape is unfathomably disgusting. I think hes got off lightly. |
Just seen the sentence and I agree with you totally GS. That thing has been let off very lightly; virtually given a pardon, unlike his victims who have a life sentence.
A disgusting bit of scum like that should be put away until it’s wheeled out in a bag. And any money earned or assets assembled in that so called career taken to pay for his keep. |  | | |

Yep, plus the "previous good character" that the judge applied to this sentence will be out of the window, so he'll get the full tariff for any future convictions. |  | | |

Great news, hope he get his comeuppance inside. Prisions aren't the most forgiving when it comes to sexual predators as I understand it. Really hope his status doesn't give him any special treatment.
10.5 years, is that enough or too little? I have no idea how they gauge these things. If he can be out in half that time then it seems light |
He will probably buy protection |  | | |

He'll have to serve 2/3, so he's looking at 7 years of bird and then out on licence on certain conditions, unless he's found guilty of further cases in the meantime.
I think by the letter of the law its a fairly middling sentence, it doesn't seem like he's been sentenced favourably or more harshly because he's famous.
Whether the law is strict enough in these offences is another question. |  | | |

My understanding is that he'll be able to request housing within a Vulnerable Prisoners Unit or a specialist prison housing sexual offenders; his profile will add clout to any request.
Unless his higher profile makes him a more inviting target for some of his more unhinged co-detainees, I'd imagine that the nature of his offences will probably keep him from going the same way as Ian Watkins and similar. | |

Well that should stop him being impregnated but I think he may need more than that to survive 7 years  |  | | |

Can we all stop fantasising about him being raped himself? What is wrong with you people. |  |

As much of a heinous and vile person that he undoubtedly is, as a matter of principle I think that he should be safe from physical harm whilst in prison. |  | | |

People are not ‘fantasising’. They are just hoping that pariah receives some of what he inflicted upon others - especially as he’s been let off very lightly. | | | |

Rape is wrong, no matter who commits it or on who full stop. | | | |

I believe there are another couple of cases against him being investigated and may result in further charges. How can his missus stand by him? Which she seemingly is at the moment. She should take the kids and get far away from him. |
one can only imagine she is now going over her own personal encounters with him and considering if she was in control if certain situations, or was she made to do things she really didnt want to. | | | |

Yes, but if Brand is put on trial for other sex offences, how can he possibly receive a fair trial when most of the jury will be well aware that he is a recently convicted rapist? |  |

The justice system would collapse if previous offending was somehow scrubbed from public record. For me, he reaps what he sows. I don’t see an issue with the trial being “fair” or not now especially when it’s been shown he lied in this one as much as possible. |  |

I can see the issue - usually a defendant's past criminal record is not disclosed unless/until they are convicted, at which point it can form part of the sentencing.
I understand the principle behind it, but it rather falls flat when said defendant is a celebrity who has just been convicted following a high profile trial. That said, I have no idea what the alternative is. | |

Didn't stop someone like Gary Glitter being convicted on multiple occasions. |  |
