    Yes but no. 10 years should be the absolute minimum in a “singular” rape charge. But come on, to rape 7 women (that we got proof of) & only do 10 years is blasphemous.

      Well that’s the thing. He wasn’t convicted of seven counts of rape. This punishment is for one count of rape and three of sexual assault. There were two other rape charges he was cleared of.

        Yes but in peoples eyes the accusation is enough and they never follow up past the big headline.

          Uhhh, pretty sure most people would consider one rape conviction a pretty goddamn big deal so it’s arguing semantics about the rest.
