Russell Brand convicted of rape and sexual assault, faces prison
Russell Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court.
Russell Brand, 51, was convicted on Thursday of raping a fan at his London home and sexually assaulting three women at workplaces during his showbusiness career. He was cleared of two further rape charges and one attempted indecent assault. The judge told him he faces a 'significant custodial term' ahead of sentencing on Monday. Police are investigating two additional rape allegations against Brand, including one involving a 16-year-old. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said he would not be surprised if many more alleged victims came forward following the conviction.
