Oskarżono go o gwałty i napaści seksualne. Zapadł werdykt w sprawie Russella Branda - Plotek.pl
English actor Russell Brand has been convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault by a London court.
The verdict was delivered at London's Southwark Crown Court after a two-day deliberation by the jury. Brand was cleared of two other rape charges and one count of attempted sexual assault. The 51-year-old has consistently maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings.
Custody Pending Sentencing
Following the verdict, Judge Bennathan informed Brand that he faces a 'lengthy period of imprisonment' and ordered him to remain in custody until sentencing. The trial, which initially was expected to last approximately six weeks, concluded in less than four weeks.
Background and Allegations
He was previously married to singer Katy Perry before divorcing after 14 months of marriage. His current wife is restaurateur and writer Laura Gallacher, with whom he has three children.
All seven women who accused the actor came forward after the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary about Brand. The defense argued the documentary had a 'devastating impact' on Brand's life, while the prosecution claimed the media coverage encouraged the women to speak about their encounters with him.
