As a reminder, Russell Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
The comedian and actor was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in a London bar in 2004.
They were at a birthday party in Soho and had been chatting at the bar for less than a minute when Brand grabbed her breasts.
He was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman at the Choice FM studios in London in 2004 or 2005. He grabbed her face and kissed her before touching her breasts and buttocks.
Brand was also convicted of raping a woman at his then home in London in 2009, days after meeting her at the Hammersmith Apollo theater where he was performing a comedy show.
She went to his house in Hampstead where they had consensual sex before he anally raped her. She told the court “he hurt me and hurt me and when I asked him to stop he didn’t”.
Brand was also convicted of a sexual assault charge while working on a Channel 4 project in 2009.
The 51-year-old man placed his head against the groin of a woman who was working with him at the time, without her consent.
The woman said his mouth and nose were in her vaginal area. She told the court she was disgusted by the situation and reported the incident to her manager at the time.
