I don't think somebody living outside of UK cares. The threat only wors if that person lives in UK jurisdiction. Not everybody does.

He's charged with contempt of court. because he claims to have forgotten the FDE key for his macOS box. Which investigators believe is loaded with child porn. And so he periodically sees the judge, who extends his sentence for contempt. There's apparently no limit under current US law.
