  1. I don’t know what the sentencing guidelines are around this but it seems quite shocking to only get ten years for this sort of crime.

  2. 10 years is a disgrace. He broken into a house, raped the woman then went to another house and tried to rob them.

    The sentencing for sexual and serious offences in our country is a joke.

  3. Absolute scum. What is it with these angry, homegrown, men carrying out such horrific sexual violence and so frequently?

  4. There is no rehabilitation or redemption for people like that. 

    They are pure evil and should be put dog like a rabid dog

  5. Should be a life sentence. That man has proven he cannot be trusted and he has brutally traumatised that woman for life. Keep him away from society.

  6. 10 years of a roof over his head, a free gym, 3 square meals a day, education programs, a library etc.

    That’ll show him.

  7. Sad to see that low sentences for crimes like this are also a problem elsewhere, as an American.

  8. The idea that he can get out of prison at 33 is shocking.

  9. Why is this the only image of him? Why haven’t Police Scotland issued the ultra-high resolution mugshot they took when he was arrested and charged? Why do newspapers so often have to rely on candid snapshots, by agencies like Spindrift, outside the Courts?

  10. Post on r/UK, something tells me they’ll be awfully quiet

  11. Crime like this, where there is absolutely zero doubt the attacker is guilty, should carry a mandatory life sentence.
