Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in his London criminal trial last week.
He was facing a potential sentence of 19 years to life in prison for the rape conviction. The maximum sentence for sexual assault is 10 years.
In relation to the sexual assaults, Judge Bennathan handed down a sentence of nine months for Count 3, 18 months for Count 5 (reduced from two years) and eight months for Count 7, which would be served concurrently. He also imposed a sentence of nine years imprisonment for the Count 6 charge of rape. The judge said Brand must serve two thirds of the sentence before he can be released on licence.
