I suspect his sentence might be reduced, I could never understand why it was that long for simply being a randy idiot.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

It needed to set an example - quite rightly.

I agree a long sentence for a randy gent .

I think referring to him as a “randy gent” diminishes what his victims have experienced. No one should have to be subjected to that.

He is certainly not a gentleman to have behaved as he did.

Court of Appeal have upheld the original sentence. Excellent summing up by appeal judges.

What rubbish, he is no more "upper class" than I am, having money does not mean he is "gent".

With a two year sentence last July there's still a chance that 'our' Charlie will be out of lock-down before the rest of us!
(Offenders always complete their full sentence but usually half the time is spent in prison and the rest is spent on licence. While on licence, an offender can be sent back to prison if they break its terms).

He'll most likely be given a 7-figure contract by a major publisher to produce a series of dire, ghost-written crime novels based in the quaint village of Maint Sargaret's.
Interesting fact: 'statistically MPs are more likely to have a criminal conviction than the average member of the public.'
