Russell Brand, the British comedian and media personality, was sentenced on Monday to ten and a half years in prison for rape and sexual assault, according to The Hill, France 24, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, and NPR News.
The sentence follows convictions relating to offences against four women — one count of rape and sexual assaults against three others, as reported by the same five outlets.
No further details about the trial, the victims, the timeline of offences, or the court that handed down the sentence are available from the current fact sheet. Additional coverage is expected as reporting develops.
