The facts
A jury at Southwark Crown Court convicted Brand of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women, AP and the CPS reported. [1][2]
AP reported acquittals on two rape counts and one attempted indecent-assault count. The verdict resolves those charges, not other allegations. [1]
The judge said Brand would receive a prison term at sentencing on 9 November; Brand denied the charges. This verdict is not a sentence or appeal outcome. [1][2][3]
On 9 November Southwark Crown Court sentenced Brand to 10 years and six months in prison, AP and LBC reported. [4][5]
LBC reported that the court imposed lifetime sex-offender registration; the prior acquittals remain part of the case record. [5]
Still unconfirmed
- Whether Brand will appeal.
- The timing and terms of any appeal or further proceedings.
Corrections & updates
Substantive update, 9 November: added the court’s sentence of 10 years and six months and lifetime sex-offender registration, reported by AP and LBC. The 5 November convictions and acquittals are unchanged; any appeal remains unknown.
