Russell Brand faces sentencing Monday after a jury convicted him of rape and three sexual assaults. The offenses took place between 2004 and 2009.
2009: Brand raped a 21-year-old fan he met at Hammersmith Apollo. 3 sexual assaults involved MTV, Capital Radio and Channel 4 workers. 3 other charges, including two rapes, ended in acquittals. 6 women testified against him over a four-week trial. Why it matters: Mr Justice Bennathan told Brand to expect a significant custodial term. He has been held in custody since the verdicts.
Met Police are investigating two further rape allegations against Brand. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the industry is not doing enough on abuse.
