....not enough but it's a start.

Yes, double that would have been good.

[anneasquith]

8. YEARS, for raping 2 women. That’s a doddle , 4 years for each rape. That’s justice ?

[ClareTG0ld]

Sentences for rape rarely feel enough. Never mind that it can be seriously hard to secure a conviction, or even a prosecution for that matter.

[sandyRoe]

That's hardly enough for two rapes.
But in an environment where many are 'gay for the stay' he/she may discover what it's like to be sexually assaulted.

[fruitsalad]

He will most probably only do 4 years of the 8 the justice system in this country is a joke

[Lie-in King]

Not long enough, but it'll have to do.

Nowhere near enough in my book, effectively 2 years per rape.

But it's up to the Scottish to make their feelings known, unless they think its ok of course.

[ToraToraTora]

Why do the news still keep using "she" He's a Geezer for gawd sake.

[youngmafbog]

Quite TTT. This fridge still has his tackle what else can he be?

[naomi24]

I agree TTT. That stupidity really needs to stop.

[Deskdiary]

Unless I missed it (I only skim read the BBC site) they haven't referred to it using female pronouns. The Mail hasn't either.

I bet you can guess which paper has...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/28/trans-woman-isla-bryson-jailed-raping-two-women

"She was found guilty of two charges of rape..."

[piggynose]

I hope it enjoys its showers!
