On November 9, 2026, Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison at Southwark Crown Court after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009. The judge condemned his abuse of celebrity status, describing how Brand used his fame to exploit women. Brand faced seven charges related to incidents involving six women; he was convicted on four counts. Initially appearing in court on October 13 for the trial's start, Brand had pleaded not guilty to all charges but was found guilty after a weeks-long trial.
One of Brand’s fans was raped as a 21-year-old by Brand in 2009 at his luxury London home, the court heard, while female staffers at Channel 4, MTV, and Capital Radio were sexually assaulted by the TV star.
