Russell Brand is a rapist | Episode 16

About this episode

Sky News' Martin Brunt and Katie Spencer report after Russell Brand is found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Brand stood straight and still in the dock as the verdicts were read out - the jury having deliberated for just eight and half hours before reaching their unanimous decisions. The judge, Mr Justice Bennathan told Brand to expect ‘a significant custodial term’. As Brand was led out of the court, he mouthed "I'm OK" several times to his lawyers. In a statement outside the court, Det Supt Andy Furphy from the Met Police said: ‘I hope this conviction sends a clear message that no one is above the law, no matter how famous or powerful they may be.’ Email the podcast: ontrial@sky.uk.
