This is the best summary I could come up with:
Disgraced former NBL basketballer and serial rapist Kendal 'Tiny' Pinder has been sentenced to eight years in prison and had his visa cancelled for committing two violent sexual assaults.
But Pinder avoided the maximum sentence for the sexual assaults, with his jail term also backdated, leaving him with an earliest possible release date in October, 2026, taking into account the time he has already spent in custody.
The former Perth Wildcat faced a Sydney court via video link on separate charges of sexual assault, one which involved recklessly inflicting bodily harm on his victim.
The court heard Pinder's cognitive impairment was believed to "longstanding" and was potentially linked to head injuries he suffered when he fell through a plate glass window when he was 12.
The Crown prosecutor made eye contact with Pinder when he said "one only needs to delve a millimetre beneath the surface level" to see his apologies were "hollow".
The former Harlem Globetrotter's lawyer Ms Betts defended Pinder, citing the fact he drove the woman to hospital and that she suffered no long-term physical injuries.
