The Associated Press reports that Russell Brand was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London to 10 1/2 years in prison for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others, after a jury convicted him on allegations dating back to 2004; he was cleared of two rape counts and one attempted indecent assault. Judge Joel Bennathan called him a sexual predator with a "casual and arrogant disregard" for women, accusers described lasting harm, and Brand, who had asserted his innocence, mouthed "we'll be OK" to his wife as he was led away.
