〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕流行天后凱蒂佩芮前夫、英國知名喜劇演員羅素·布蘭德(Russell Brand)多年來公開誇耀自己的性戰績,週四(5日)被倫敦南華克皇家法院裁定1項強制性交罪及3項強制猥褻罪名成立。法官直言,布蘭德將在下週一宣判時面臨「漫長的」刑期。

《美聯社》報導,全案起因於《泰晤士報》與第四頻道在2023年揭發其性侵指控,促使多名受害女性勇敢挺身而出。檢察官在庭審中指控,現年51歲、育有三名子女的布蘭德是一名無情、精於算計且善於操縱他人的「性掠食者」,甚至引用其2007年回憶錄中「只要渴望女人就會掃除一切障礙」的狂妄文字。前私人助理也作證指出他性慾瘋狂、對女性極差;布蘭德雖承認曾利用名氣換取性關係,但堅決否認違背他人意願。

陪審團經過兩天審議,判定布蘭德1項強制性交罪與3項強制猥褻罪成立,另有2項強制性交罪與1項強制猥褻未遂罪獲判無罪。定罪犯行包含2004年在倫敦酒吧性侵女子、2004或2005年在廣播電台強吻摸索、2009年在喜劇後台結識女粉絲後於住處對其猥褻強姦,以及同年拍攝廣告期間強壓女方下體。

在宣讀強姦罪裁決時,布蘭德閉上雙眼、表情木然。當法官駁回保釋申請時,他強作鎮定地向律師打手勢示意,並在被法警帶走前反覆說著「我很好、我很好、我很好」。

布蘭德早年以風格大膽的單口喜劇走紅,曾主持BBC廣播與電視節目,出演《忘掉負心女》等好萊塢電影,並曾與流行歌手凱蒂·佩芮短暫結婚;近年他逐漸淡出主流媒體,移居美國佛州轉型為經營養生、陰謀論與宗教影片的網路紅人。其律師則辯稱指控者在多年後才報案,企圖藉此削弱指控的可信度。
