Russell Brand

My goodness I could have taken a few horrible sex pests in the work place to court from the 70 s I expect they re all dead now
I didn’t think he d get so long
I see DW has lost his appeal to keep his name out of the press

A woman who works in media said that there are a lot like Brand hiding in plain site.
Hopefully more of them will be found out and punished. Women should not have to tolerate sexual predators.

Sorry 80s was supposed to read 90s

I thought he’d get less tbh
The victim blaming and the excusing of him has been remarkable online

He isn’t alone though. As a young woman in the 80s/00s I imagine lots of even ordinary men are shitting themselves

I don’t think he’ll hack being in prison. He will be an easy target. His poor wife and kids. I really feel heart sorry for them.

Some are reporting Brand may get solitary confinement.

I also thought he should have got more, but I wonder if/ when others come forward his sentence might be extended. After further trials of course.
I don’t expect he’ll enjoy prison.

Yes that IS annoying but it's the same with all prison time, serving two thirds if good behaviour. What you are forgetting though is that the police think more victims will come forward and he could face trial for those.

Not enough, I was expecting at least 25 years.

Yes, but the fact he is likely to only serve two thirds of ten years made me cross.
Why on earth shouldn't he complete the whole sentence? He doesn't deserve leniency.

I hope that will send a message now that despite fame you CAN'T just do everything you want and get away with it.
Feel sorry for his victims and also his wife and family who deserved none of it.
