Story summary

Russell Brand, a British comedian and actor, was found guilty on November 5, 2026, of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others. The trial at Southwark Crown Court in London lasted for several weeks, with prosecutors describing him as a "ruthless sexual predator" who assaulted six women between 2006 and 2013. Brand pleaded not guilty to all charges but was convicted of seven counts, including one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The jury heard accounts from the victims, who described encounters that took place in hotel rooms, workplaces, a toilet cubicle, and at Brand’s home address. Brand's wife cried as he was found guilty; he entered the dock saying "yes My Lord" when remanded into custody for sentencing on Monday. Details of his substance abuse and relationship with Katy Perry were excluded from the trial due to defense objections.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
