British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 and a half years in London after last week he was found guilty of a rape case and three sexual assaults.
The decision was made by the Southwark Court jury after three days of discussion.
However, Brand was acquitted of two other rape cases and an attempt at an offensive attack.

Following his conviction, he was refused parole and was immediately sent to custody.
The rape case for which he was found guilty relates to a 2009 event when a woman accused him of raping him in his London home.
During her witnessing, she showed that she had told him several times while a friend testified that after the incident the victim had suffered severe pain.
Brand, on the other hand, claimed that the relationship had been favorable and that his wife had not asked him to stop.
He admitted that he had misused fame to have sexual relations with women, but he insisted that consent was essential.
The charges against him appeared for the first time publicly in September 2023, following an investigation published by the United Times.
In this trial, he faced seven points of the indictment, including six women and events of the 19992009 period.
On all charges he was acquitted.
Meanwhile, London’s Metropolitan Police are also investigating two more convictions of actor rape.
One of them is related to a woman who was 16 years old at the time she had a report with Brand, who was 30 years old at the time.
The files on both cases have been forwarded to the prosecution. /Telegraphy/
