If you never care to hear about the Alabama fan who placed his twig and berries on an unconscious LSU fan following this year’s BCS championship game, you’re in luck.
The fan, Brian Downing, has been sentenced to two years in prison after he pleaded guilty to two counts of obscenity for sexually taunting back in October. Prosecutors had dropped a charge of sexual battery, which could have landed Downing up to 10 years in prison.
The video of the incident, about five minutes long, features several fans hazing, poking and taking pictures of the unconscious LSU fan. Then Downing exposes himself and places his genitals on the unconscious fan before a restaurant employee steps in to disperse the crowd.
