British actor and comedian, Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10-and-a-half years for rape and three counts of sexual assault - he is likely to serve two-thirds of the sentence in prison
The judge told Brand he is a sexual predator, who told a series of lies and displayed staggering arrogance.
Earlier, one victim told the court she was in shock and turmoil and did not have any respect for herself.
Another victim said Brand is a sexual predator who has no remorse, while another said she felt powerless in that moment.
The woman who Brand raped in 2009 told the court she was "living with trauma", and feared she had contracted HIV.
Brand faced seven charges: three of rape, three of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault. He was found not guilty on three counts
His crimes took place between 2004 and 2009, and related to four women. They are all entitled to lifelong anonymity
