## Summary

Ronald “Ron” Brand called his son Russell a “victim” when asked outside court whether he had a message for the women affected by the actor’s crimes. He suggested the women had pursued and harassed his son, and said he did not care that Russell had been convicted, drawing attention to the family’s response after sentencing.

Russell Brand, 51, received a combined sentence of 10 years and six months after a jury convicted him of rape and three sexual assaults; he was acquitted of two other rape charges and attempted indecent assault. His father had previously dismissed the allegations as unproven. Brand is also under investigation over two further rape accusations, and he and his wife have three children.
