Poklek also pleaded guilty to publishing obscene videos for gain, as well as possession of indecent images of children and possession of ketamine.

uhhhh, how about getting him more than 2 fucking years??

The judge said Poklek would be released after serving about a third of his prison sentence under the Sentencing Act 2026, and called for longer sentences for animal abuse, which currently has a five-year maximum.

    Can they not try him for multiple counts of animal abuse? In the US, for some crimes, you'd stack the charges, a sentence might be for 3 years, but with 4 counts of the crime you'd be looking at more like 12.

  • The US is an outlier, most countries cannot do this. Because otherwise you could be jailed for years if you shoplift ten times or something.

    The upper limit is usually only used for sentencing if it's a repeat offender or if occured multiple times.
