Well he pleaded guilty (am I saying that right?). Does anyone know what the maximum sentence he could have received or even if England does plea deals the same way the US does like "you can either plead guilty and get 13 months of if you lose at trial we are going for the maximum of 13 years"?
"According to Leeds Live, Robinson pleaded guilty to contempt of court and breach of a suspended sentence. The judge who sentenced him to 13 months behind bars reportedly told Robinson his actions risked jeopardizing the outcome of the sexual abuse case, potentially "costing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds" in a retrial and forcing witnesses to testify again in front of a new jury."
My real question is, is that really a thing in England? Is it actually a crime to say someone is guilty before they have been found guilty or calling someone a rapist before they have been found guilty of rape? Does this start the moment they are accused/arrested or just during the trial? Do you have to say it publicly or is it still illegal if you are talking to some friends in your home? It seems that he clearly violated a judges order I'm just kind of shocked that it's illegal in the first place in England.
