## Summary

The new report describes Russell Brand’s impassive manner in the dock during his rape trial, contrasting it with his flamboyant public image and the behaviour described in evidence. After a three-week trial, he was found guilty of one rape and three sexual assaults.

Six women made allegations relating to events between 1999 and 2009. Brand was acquitted of two other rape counts and one count of attempted indecent assault; the court reporter also noted his courteous conduct at court, his comments to journalists and the Christian symbols he wore.
