UK: Russell Brand sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison

Southwark Crown Court imposed the sentence after a jury convicted Brand of one rape and three sexual assaults.

On 9 November, London’s Southwark Crown Court sentenced British broadcaster and actor Russell Brand to 10 years and six months in prison. The sentence follows last week’s verdict, in which the jury found him guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

The four offences were committed against four women between 2004 and 2009, the Metropolitan Police said. Statements describing the impact on the women were read during sentencing. Police also said Brand will be on the sex offenders’ register for life.
