Story summary

Russell Brand, a British comedian and actor, was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on November 10, 2026, for raping a woman in 2009 and sexually assaulting three others. The judge at Southwark Crown Court called him a "sexual predator" during the sentencing hearing. Brand had pleaded not guilty to all charges but was found guilty after a trial that lasted several weeks. His wife, Laura Gallacher, accompanied him when he appeared in court for the start of his trial on October 12, 2026. The case involved six women and alleged incidents spanning from 1999 to 2009. Additionally, Brand's former partner, Jemima Goldsmith, accused him of violence, coercive control, and abuse in a statement released after his sentencing.
