Watch Russell Brand sentencing live: Disgraced comedian sentenced for rape and sexual assault

Watch live as disagreed comedian Russell Brand is sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Monday (9 November), after he was convicted of raping one of his fans and sexually assaulting three women.

Brand has been warned to expect a prison term “of some length”.

The former comedian, now 51, spent the weekend in a cell after he was found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of raping a woman in 2009, as well as sexually assaulting female TV and radio workers between 2004 and 2009.

His victims told the court he had forced them into sexual activity, sometimes within seconds of them first meeting, using his immense fame to pursue a goal of sex with 5,000 women.

Mr Justice Bennathan will pass sentence today after telling the shamed star to expect a “significant” jail term following the jury’s verdict last week.

In the wake of Brand’s convictions, the Metropolitan Police revealed that more allegations against the former TV and radio host are being investigated.
