Russell Brand has been found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault after a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court. The jury deliberated for over eight hours before delivering the verdicts, which led to Brand being taken into custody without bail, with sentencing scheduled for Monday.
The allegations against Brand spanned from 1999 to 2009, involving six women who testified about his use of fame to coerce them into sexual acts. Following the trial, Brand faces additional rape allegations from two more women, and the Metropolitan Police's investigation into these claims is ongoing.
