British comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault on Monday. “About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous,” Judge Joel Bennathan said. “You were clever — and in many people’s eyes, funny and charismatic. You had also become a sexual predator.” Following a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, Brand was unanimously convicted by a jury on Thursday of four sexual offences, one count of rape and three counts of sexual assaults, involving four women between 2005 and 2009 in different locations. In addition, Brand was cleared of two counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault.
