There's that saying ... a leopard cannot change its spots. And I read he spent $1.34M on his defence, so that doesn't sound like he was resigned.
^^I don't disagree with you and I am NOT defending him at all, but it does appear he's turned his life around.
He went from being a deviant d-bag sex addict POS to a happily married man and father with three beautiful kids. His wife testified at trial what a kind caring and loyal husband and father he is so that's something.
He spent a great deal of money on his defense because while he readily admits he was a disrespectful d-bag POS to women at the time (which he now greatly regrets) he does
not think he is guilty of rape or sexual assault. .
He insists it was consensual. The rape victim herself admitted that it was consensual.
Apologies I am about to get graphic here, but the facts presented at trial via text messages and witness reports at the time (friends and others) and the rape victim herself did not deny, was that she, on her own accord, went to RB's dressing room when she was 21 years old, immediately got down on her knees and gave HIM anal with her tongue.
Later he invited her over to his, and they had consensual vaginal and oral sex.
He suddenly turned her over and entered her anally during which it was alleged she said "please be gentle." Later during the act, she told him to STOP..
He did NOT stop, he ignored and continued to forcefully and aggressively anally **** her, caused her to bleed and she was crying. After which he told her to "clean up the mess" and kicked her out.
Many consider that rape and many don't.
What matters is the jury did so they convicted him. The Judge also did and he got 9 years for the rape, 1.5 combined for the three other less offensive sexual assaults.
Total 10.5 years.
