Found guilty of rape... Famous comedian will serve prison time

BRITISH actor and comedian Russell Brand was found guilty in the trial held in London for one rape and three sexual assault crimes he committed against four women between 2005 and 2009. While Brand, the ex-wife of American singer Katy Perry, was acquitted of two charges of rape and one attempted sexual assault, her request for bail was rejected. It was noteworthy that the famous comedian's eyes were closed and he did not react during the reading of the court decision. It was stated that the actor, whose sentence will be announced on Monday, could receive a prison sentence of between 6 and 9 years.

THE NUMBER OF VICTIM MAY INCREASE FURTHER

On the other hand, six victimized women testified in court. According to Reuters, one of the women said that Brand "treated her like an animal", while the other said that the actor acted without her consent during sexual intercourse. Authorities conducting the investigation stated that there may be other victims and called on women to contact the police. Superintendent Andy Furphy said: "I hope this conviction makes clear that no one, no matter how famous or powerful, is above the law." Brand presented various radio programs on the BBC between 2006 and 2008 and took part in many productions, especially "Death on the Nile" and "Arthur and the Challenge".
