Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on Monday after a London jury convicted him last week of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2005 and 2009.

A judge at Southwark Crown Court handed down nine years for the rape conviction and 18 months for the three sexual assault counts, according to Euronews and Deadline. Brand, 51, will be eligible for release "on license" after serving roughly two-thirds of the term, or about seven years.

The comedian and actor was convicted after a four-week trial of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against four women in incidents spanning 2005 to 2009. He was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one charge of attempted indecent assault.

Remanded without bail

Brand was denied bail following last week's verdict and has spent the time since in custody at Wandsworth prison awaiting sentencing. Throughout the trial, he denied all charges, testifying that he had been "obsessed with sex" and lived promiscuously as a young man but maintained he never forced anyone into a sexual act against their will.

London's Metropolitan Police said separately that investigations are continuing into two further allegations of rape made against Brand, meaning Monday's sentencing may not be the final chapter in the comedian's legal troubles.

Brand rose to fame as a British stand-up comedian and radio host before breaking into Hollywood films including "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek," and a brief marriage to pop star Katy Perry. In recent years he reinvented himself as a wellness- and conspiracy-leaning YouTube personality with millions of subscribers, a platform that collapsed as allegations against him mounted starting in 2023.

The case drew intense coverage in the UK, where Brand arrived at court most days to crowds of reporters. His legal team has not indicated whether it intends to appeal the conviction or sentence.

For now, Brand's sentence closes one of British entertainment's highest-profile criminal cases in years — but with two more allegations still under investigation, it may not be the last word.
