Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on Monday, Nov. 9, after a jury convicted him of rape and three sexual assaults in London. The sentence at Southwark Crown Court is a new development in the case, following last week’s verdict.

The Crown Prosecution Service said the offenses involved four women and took place between 2004 and 2009. Brand denied the charges during the trial. The court’s sentence follows convictions on four counts; the jury acquitted him on other charges, according to contemporaneous reporting by the Associated Press.

What the court imposed

The total term is 10 years and six months. The CPS confirmed the sentence and the four convictions in a statement after the hearing. Reuters also reported the sentence from court, while ITV News independently confirmed the outcome.

Brand’s sentencing concludes this stage of the criminal case, but it is distinct from the Nov. 5 verdict. The outcome reflects the offenses for which the jury found him guilty; it should not be conflated with separate allegations or investigations that were not decided at this hearing.

How this follows last week’s verdict

The jury convicted Brand of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He had denied the charges. The sentence was handed down four days after the verdict, completing the court’s immediate sentencing process for those convictions.
