The likeliest situation is he's guilty of a drunken/drug related sexual assault and rape. The man is/was a polecat.
Is it normal and custom and practice though for the top cop to come out and encourage others to come forward and press charges with 6 figure sums in compensation bandied about. That's going to only result in a stampede.
When you compare this case to numerous others involving sexual offences it does smack very much that they want him hammered and never to see the light of day again.
This case and the way it's been brought about doesn't sit fully right with me...
Maybe someone should have given him a leaflet...?
The likeliest situation is that he is a sexual predator who knew exactly what he was doing and boasting about it at every opportunity. Given that only 4 have come forward so far, and given what his ex-wives and girlfriends have said, I'm sure there are a lot more victims. The sentences for the 3 sexual assault cases were concurrent, so only the 18 months counts in reality. However, that was consecutive with the 9 years for rape, making 10 1/2 in total. Will any more charges give him more time inside? I don't know and we're getting ahead of ourselves. Will people jump on the bandwagon to claim compensation? That's for the courts to decide. I'm not sure how it doesn't sit right with you. Justice has been served.

What'll be very interesting is if he goes to the CCRC in an attempt to have his name cleared.
And yes indeed it'll be interesting to see if others start looking for compensation. That aside, I have read that the financial cost for his defiance cost him £1 million Pounds, staggering cost if true.

Supposedly he has sacked his legal team and getting a new lot to represent him at an appeal. I have the feeling that this saga is going to run and run.
He is a lost cause. He cannot answer allegations as he was not fully conscious of his behaviour being in a haze of drugs and drink. He has no m memory of his actions.
Anyone taking drugs deserves any shite that comes their way Nobody forces anyone to shove coke up your nose Take responsibility for your actions Right now, there are kunts driving around with last nights harmless cannabis still on their system Look out if your pushing your grandkids across a level crossing with these imbibets of “ harmless” drugs on their system Everyone knows what dope does No excuses None Ever

You are right there R,
I get enraged every time a car drives past stinking of weed, It's a daily occurrence and I live in a so called well to do part of the country. I have written to my MP and TVP on the subject. Still waiting for a token reply. There is no such thing as a harmless drug, all reduce capacity to react rationally. If you're driving stoned you are a hazard and a menace.
It needs clamping down on at national level just as much as drink driving

I don't know how it took so long, talking about it was his entire act. He wasn't funny he was a creep who talked about doing the things that have landed him in jail.
I went to see him a few times in his heyday, he could be funny but there was a narcissistic aura about him, just from his overall presence and power. At Oxford we had parked near to the backstage entrance. He was there and to say there was a queue would be an understatement. The most scantily dressed women in their masses all vying for a chance to meet him. To me it seemed if he was that way inclined he had the freedom of Oxford, but maybe he enjoyed the pursuit, refusal and challenge thereafter ? He is predator in all forms and I will say even when with consent. That’s who he is.
My experience.
We investigated many sexual offences with many victims via achieving best evidence in my 32 years, and I spent a number of years as the liaison between the police and local sexual assault referral centres (SARC) I can’t tell you how professional these centres were and those who investigated allegations. Hopefully the judgment will encourage both sexes to come forwards and feel confident with the coverage all this has had.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
Beyond reasonable doubt is a subjective matter, let’s not forget It is easy for barristers to sow seeds of doubt into the minds of juries It’s their job
She didn’t wait 20 years she went to do a rape kit the next day. But the police did nothing as is their habit when it comes to rich and famous people. It was the investigative journalism that reignited these allegations years after the police couldn’t be arsed to do anything. She had the same allegation from day one but when the police refuse to do anything what can you do?
Strange one that as they tend to send axe murderers and proper violent psychos there. He's a wrong un of course but I wouldn't put him in the same category as Ian Watkins, Mark Bridger or Ian Huntley.
Looks like the dam is breaking now and he probably realises that any appeal is hopeless.

Yep, the accumulation of evidence demonstrates a recurrent pattern of behaviour that deserves jail. There might have been a chink of light for Brand with the single rape conviction, in that certain social media posts allude to behaviour in the hours before the rape that most of us wouldn't have been aware of. Looking at the milieux within which Brand moved, one gets the impression of a wide spectrum of situations, some of which raise the issue of whether a "victim" who consents to some pretty gross practices at one point in time must be heard when s/he does not want to go a step further. Having said that, my view is that "no" should mean no in all circumstances and that ignoring no makes a rape offence a possibility. no matter what went before. Brand isn't the sort of person I would want to know.
