Watch LIVE: Russell Brand Faces Sentencing in UK Court After Guilty Verdict in Rape and Assault Case
Russell Brand appears at Southwark Crown Court in London for sentencing after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault following a four-week trial. The 51-year-old comedian and former television presenter faces a significant prison term after the jury delivers its verdict in a case involving allegations from six women relating to incidents between 1999 and 2009. Brand is remanded in custody over the weekend after the judge refuses his request for bail. The court also hears that further allegations against the former television and radio host are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police. Brand denies the charges and maintains that his sexual encounters were consensual. The sentencing brings another major development in a case that draws widespread attention across the UK and renews scrutiny of sexual misconduct allegations in the entertainment industry.
