    Good. I hope he gets a fair trial, followed by a guilty verdict and a long fucking sentence. His victims need justice and he needs to be made an example of, to put the fear of the law into his brain-dead followers if nothing else will work.

    About time.

    The trial is expected to take several years.

    Holy shit…that’s longer than a Trump trial. Anyone know why it should take so long?

      Legal paperwork is no joke. Furthermore judges and their staff tend to have a lot to do already, and giving more timely justice to this scumbag just because he’s famous on the Internet is probably not a priority.

      The right to a speedy trial is rare in Europe. Maximum pretrial detention in Romania is 5 years. But compare that to 4 years in Spain and 3 France.

    Well, that didn’t come surprising.

    It names seven alleged victims who it says were recruited by the Tate brothers through false promises of love and marriage.

    And this is just plain disgusting.

      Just because someone doesn’t have a chin, doesn’t instantly make them dodgy. A ‘human trafficking rapist’ maybe, but not ‘dodgy’!
