[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims) Russell Brand gets a sentence of 10 years and six months.

[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=2) The bulk of that sentence comes from a rape conviction from a woman who was engaging in consensual sex with Russell Brand, and then claims that the sex became unconsensual.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=13) Now let's compare that to Abdul Salihi, who gets a £400 fine, and what did he do?

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=19) He sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and a 42-year-old woman.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=23) Then you have Hadush Kabatu, who got 12 months.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=27) Now let's see what brought about this 12-month sentence.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=30) Sexual offenses including a 14-year-old girl and an adult woman.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=34) He's an Afghan national, uh, in asylum accommodation, and Hadush was an Ethiopian asylum seeker.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=41) I think I'm spotting the difference. So the two-tier justice system in the UK seems to be very real and very present, and of course, I have to bring up the UK gang rape report, which brought forward, what, over 200,000 allegations of rape, many of them credible,

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=56) many of them coinciding with actual physical proof, evidence, DNA tests, rape kits.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=62) And what? So many of those were swept under the rug.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hdiAQFnKX9tu/en/russell-brand-sentencing-and-uk-two-tier-justice-claims?t=65) Many of those men didn't even see a day in court to be sentenced, yet Russell Brand gets 10 years and six months
