- She described their relationship as consensual.
- Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months.

## Summary

Georgina Baillie, granddaughter of actor Andrew Sachs, wrote a character reference for Russell Brand before his sentencing, describing him as kind and respectful of her boundaries. Her account concerns their consensual relationship in 2006 and 2007; it contrasts with the convictions for sexual offences involving other women and appears not to have led the judge to reduce his sentence.

Baillie said she and Brand had about 12 casual sexual encounters over a year, and that she was never forced or coerced. She also described the fallout from the 2008 Sachsgate scandal, in which Brand and Jonathan Ross left her grandfather voicemails about their relationship, and said Brand later paid for her rehabilitation. A jury found Brand guilty of four offences dating from 2004 to 2009, and he received a sentence of 10 years and six months.
