British comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison on Monday for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
At a hearing in London, Judge Joel Bennathan called him a sexual predator and denounced what he called Brand’s arrogant disregard towards women. The 51-year-old showed little emotion as the sentence was handed down.
Last week, Brand was found guilty of attacking four of his six accusers. He maintains his innocence, saying that all the encounters were consensual.
