## Summary

Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty of rape and three sexual assaults. The sentence prompted applause outside Southwark Crown Court, followed moments later by an argument between people welcoming the outcome and two supporters who claimed he was innocent.

The judge said women retain the right to refuse sex and seek justice, whatever they wear, where they go or what they drink. Brand received nine years for rape, with separate sentences of nine, 18 and eight months for the sexual assaults; he is expected to serve two-thirds of his sentence before being considered for release on licence and will remain on the sex offenders’ register for life.
