New Orleans, LA -
Brian Downing learned Thursday that he will spend the next 24
months in the custody of the Louisiana Department Corrections.
Judge Karen Herman handed down the sentence today, saying that "You
put aside someone's dignity and chose to perform a prank. He didn't have the
option to say ‘no.' It was stupid. There's no excuse. You're an adult." Judge Herman also added "The actions that you took on Jan. 9 of this year were morally
reprehensible, there's no way around it."
You may remember that after Alabama beat LSU in the BCS Championship
game in the Superdome last January, Downing was videoed in the Krystal Burger on Bourbon Street exposing his genitals and pressing them
against the neck of a passed-out LSU fan.
