Low life scum...He should have been made to register as a sex offender.

An Alabama man on Thursday began serving a two-year prison sentence for an obscene act against an unconscious LSU fan in a Bourbon Street restaurant after the BCS national title game in January, a videotaped incident that went viral on the Internet.

Orleans Parish Criminal District Judge Karen Herman chastised Brian H. Downing, of Smiths Station, Ala., before she formally sentenced him to the terms of a plea deal with New Orleans prosecutors.

Herman called him a bully who has permanently damaged someone's life.

"You have put aside someone's dignity," she said. "(He) didn't have the option to say, `No,' and tell you to stop."
