      Anytime a rapist is put out of circulation it’s good for the planet.

      The article:

      A court in southern India has sentenced a prominent politician in the state of Karnataka to life in prison after being found guilty of raping one of his domestic staff.
      The sentencing of Prajwal Revanna, who is from an influential political family in the state, took place on Saturday – a day after he was convicted of sexually assaulting his former employee.
      The allegations against the 34-year-old former Indian MP first came to light in 2023 after hundreds of explicit videos featuring him started circulating on social media, causing outrage across the country.
      Revanna had denied the charges. On Friday, he broke down and pleaded for a lesser punishment when he was found guilty.

      He can appeal against the sentence.
      Revanna is a grandson of former Indian Prime Minister, H D Deve Gowda, whose Janata Dal (Secular) party is allied with current Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP.
      It is rare that a person with such an influential political background gets punished in a case like this in India.
      Revanna left India in April 2024 using his diplomatic passport after hundreds of videos of alleged abuse began circulating in his state.
      At the time, Revanna did not comment on the videos, but an official from his office said the videos had been doctored.
      He was arrested a month later after arriving back home from Germany.
      He is still facing two other rape cases and one case of sexual harassment. He denies the charges.

      So… this guy is likely not in the Epstien list since he actually is seeing punishment.

      I hadn’t realized India cared that much about rape to be honest. It seems like revenge killings and gang rape are a problem India has difficulty curbing.

      They will appeal to supreme court sentence will be turned to less harsher punishment. Mofo will be out in 10 years with 30 leniencies in between and bails, doctor visits, by then media will stop caring. Overall he will serve a max of 5-6 years in VIP jail cell with Tv and homely meals. After coming out he will contest in elections and win a MLA seat again.

      Context: He’s the grandson of the ex-PM of India, and the son/nephew of a prominent local politician of the state of Karnataka.

      As an Indian I’m surprised he’s being convicted since his political party’s aligned with the central ruling party right now, I thought he’d probably be left using „connections“

      Good to see! Rapists like him deserve to die

      Not just one rape, this guy has 100s on his name, life imprisonment is too small for him, he deserves capital punishment. But I am surprised that he is even plead guilty in India after having so many connections.
