Disgraced comedian was convicted last week and was warned he faces a ‘signficant’ prison term
Good morning. Russell Brand will be sentenced today after being found guilty of raping a woman and sexually assaulting three others in seperate incidents between 2005-2009.
The disgraced former comedian and Hollywood star has been behind bars since he was convicted by a jury last Thursday, denied bail by his trial judge who ruled that he posed a flight risk.
During the four-week trial, prosecutors had argued that Brand was a ruthless, calculating, manipulative “sexual predator” who pursued women relentlessly and exploited his fame and power to get what he wanted from them sexually.
