Russell Brand sentenced to 10 years for sexual assault

Russell Brand sentenced to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault, labelled a “sexual predator” by judge

Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault by Mr Justice Bennathan.

The judge labelled Russell Brand a “sexual predator” in court.

Brand’s claim of never touching a woman without consent was dismissed as lies by the judge.

A 2004 sexual assault in a Soho bar was highlighted as being part of this deceit.

Judge remarks

A separate incident at Choice FM involved Brand humiliating a woman by grabbing her in front of others.

In 2009, a rape incident was noted for its added humiliation when Brand ordered the victim to clean his sheets.

A later sexual assault at Channel 4 further showed Brand’s arrogance, the judge remarked.

Brand received his sentence without visible reaction, although he mouthed “I love you” to his wife.
