The Daily Beast reports that Russell Brand, the former British comedian who reinvented himself as a MAGA figurehead, has been found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court and remanded in custody. Jurors convicted him of attacks on women between 2004 and 2009; prosecutors called him a sexual predator, Brand told the jury the trial was deeply traumatic, and Justice Joel Bennathan says he inevitably faces a significant custodial term.
