Russell Brand sentenced to 10½ years for rape and sexual assault

British comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for raping a fan and sexually assaulting three women at Southwark Crown Court on 2 November. The verdict followed a conviction earlier in November, which CNN reported as the result of a jury finding Brand guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Culture secretary Lisa Nandy warned that similar abuse could persist in the entertainment sector, urging organisations to join the whistleblower protection scheme.

In a separate New York civil case, Brand testified that he might have exposed himself on the set of the 2011 film *Arthur*, though he could not recall the incident definitively, according to Metro. co. uk.
