A man who made a “disgusting” film of a model of Grenfell Tower burning and commented “That’s what happens when you don’t pay the rent” has been handed a suspended jail sentence. Paul Bussetti, 49, from Croydon, south London, admitted one count of sending a “grossly offensive” video when he appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said he was “horrified” when he saw the film, and sentenced Bussetti to 10 weeks in jail, suspended for two years. He said: “It was disgusting, it was disrespectful, it was abhorrent and it was – by the nature of the charge – grossly offensive.
“I suspect it was offensive to almost everybody who has an ounce of decency about them.”
