He may well have 'revealed' other things, but we're talking about what he went to prison for which was contempt of court by breaking restrictions on reporting details from an ongoing trial. This, by definition, isn't 'new' information as it was presented in court.
There were quite a few reporters revealing information about grooming gangs around then, and none of them ended up in prison. There are a lot of people who were treated badly by the grooming gangs scandal, from the victims themselves to whistleblowers and journalists who were ignored. Tommy Robinson isn't one of them.
