This punishment is for one count of rape and three of sexual assault. There were two other rape charges he was cleared of. I assume he would have gotten the maximum sentence otherwise.
That’s not really how sentencing works. He’d have been sentenced for three counts, but wouldn’t get the maximum for each unless they were extreme, talking busting into houses, beatings, abductions, ultra violence etc.
The sentencing guidelines for the category of rape Brand was convicted of are 6-9yrs or 9-13yrs, depending on category.
Still… seven woman… And probably more out there… And ONLY 10 years?
