Russell Brand Case LIVE: Judge Calls Him a “S*XUAL PREDATOR” During Court Proceedings in London

British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison at Southwark Crown Court in London after being convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. During sentencing, Judge Joel Bennathan described Brand as a “sexual predator”, stating that he had used his fame, influence and power to target women. The judge also highlighted his disregard for women’s right to refuse consent. Brand was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.

Following the sentencing, Brand was seen leaving the court. His wife, Laura Brand, was also present during the proceedings and later seen leaving the court. Members of the prosecution side also spoke about how Brand had allegedly used his power and public standing to exploit women. His father, Ron Brand, was seen leaving the court while speaking to the media, describing the situation as “tragic”.

Brand has denied the allegations and maintained that the encounters were consensual.
