## Summary

Russell Brand was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others. The judge said Brand had used his celebrity status to prey on women, and that his public standing had protected him until allegations were reported in 2023.

The offences took place between 2004 and 2009 and involved four women: a fan raped at Brand’s London home, and three women who encountered him through media work or at a London bar. The sentence comprises nine years for rape and 18 months for the sexual assaults, which run concurrently with one another but consecutively to the rape term. The judge said Brand would serve two-thirds before release on licence and would remain subject to indefinite notification requirements under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
