Russell Brand found guilty: prison sentence awaits for rape and sexual harassment.

Russell Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault by a London court. The judge indicated that he should expect a custodial sentence, with sentencing scheduled for Monday. Brand faced a total of seven charges, including three counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault, involving six women who testified about incidents from 1999 to 2009. He maintained his innocence throughout the trial, claiming all sexual encounters were consensual. His defense argued that the women reported the incidents years later, following a 2023 documentary. After being found guilty on four counts, the judge ordered him to remain in custody until sentencing.
